Triterpenoids and rexinoids as multifunctional agents for the prevention and treatment of cancer

Liby, Karen T., Yore, Mark M., Sporn, Michael B.·2007·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

Synthetic oleanane triterpenoids and rexinoids are two new classes of multifunctional drugs. They are neither conventional cytotoxic agents, nor are they monofunctional drugs that uniquely target single steps in signal transduction pathways. Synthetic oleanane triterpenoids have profound effects on inflammation and the redox state of cells and tissues, as well as being potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic agents. Rexinoids are ligands for the nuclear receptor transcription factors known as retinoid X receptors. Both classes of agents can prevent and treat cancer in experimental animals. These drugs have unique molecular and cellular mechanisms of action and might prove to be synergistic with standard anti-cancer treatments.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Synthetic triterpenoids (TP), analogues of oleanolic acid, are powerful inhibitors of oxidative stress and cellular inflammatory processes, and thus may be neuroprotective in neurodegeneration.

  • Synthetic TP compounds are potent inducers of the antioxidant response element (ARE)-Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway and are useful in a variety of cancers including leukemia, multiple myeloma, osteosarcoma, breast and lung cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
