While prescription medications work successfully to cure an ailment in some people, in others the same dose of the same drug can cause an adverse reaction or no response at all. According to a research team led by UC Riverside's Sean Cutler, such variation in drug responses can be analyzed by studying much simpler organisms -- like plants.
Women prescribed drugs linked to birth defects not often advised to use birth control

Although prescription medications that may increase the risk of birth defects are commonly used by women in their childbearing years, only about half receive contraceptive counseling from their health-care providers, according to a large-scale study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The study found that one in six women of reproductive age filled a prescription for a medication labeled by the FDA as increasing the risk of fetal abnormalities.
Melanoma drug revs immune cells but cancer cells ignore it
benjiamin submitted, created time 2 years 6 months (researchnews.osu.edu)
A new study shows that an important drug used in the treatment of malignant melanoma has little effect on the melanoma cells themselves. Instead, it activates immune-system cells to fight the disease. The drug, called interferon alpha, is used to clean up microscopic tumor cells that may remain in the body following surgery for the disease. It is the only drug approved for this purpose.
Advantages of ADHD drugs may disappear over time

The results of a study of 579 children with ADHD, conducted by the National Institutes of Mental Health, have indicated that medication usage, alone or in combination with behavioral therapy, provides better patient outcomes than just behavioral therapy or routine community care after 14 and 24 months.
Drug protects brain cells in Huntington's disease model, researchers find

A drug used in some countries to treat the symptoms of Huntington's disease prevents death of brain cells in mice genetically engineered to mimic the hereditary condition, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found.
Targeting thioredoxin reductase is a basis for cancer therapy by arsenic trioxide
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 7 months (www.pnas.org)
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is an effective cancer therapeutic drug for acute promyelocytic leukemia and has potential anticancer activity against a wide range of solid tumors. ATO exerts its effect mainly through elevated oxidative stress, but the exact molecular mechanism remains elusive.
Would You Like Fries With That? Value Meal Could Lower Drug Costs
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 8 months (www.sciencedaily.com)
Exploiting interactions between food and drugs could dramatically lower the rapidly rising costs of several anticancer drugs, and perhaps many other medications, two cancer-pharmacology specialists suggest in a commentary in the July 16, 2007, issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Potential new target for cancer found
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 8 months (www.eurekalert.org)
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs.
Study: Some bone cancer drugs problematic
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 8 months (www.sciencedaily.com)
U.S. scientists have determined the use of certain drugs to fight cancer-related bone problems might increase the risk of disease or infection.
High blood pressure medication strategy proves effective in Hispanic women
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 8 months (www.eurekalert.org)
Researchers studied 22,500 patients enrolled in the landmark International Verapamil SR-Trandolapril study, known as INVEST, and tracked a subgroup of 5,017 Hispanic and 4,710 non-Hispanic white women who were randomly assigned to a drug strategy containing either a sustained release form of the calcium antagonist verapamil or the beta-blocker atenolol. Hispanic women achieved greater blood pressure control and were half as likely as white women to suffer adverse outcomes.
