摘要:
An effect predicting apparatus for predicting an effect of anthracycline anticancer drugs, comprising: a display, a processor, and a memory, under control of said processor, including software instructions adapted to enable the processor to perform operations, comprising: acquiring a CDK parameter based on a first CDK parameter and a second CDK parameter; acquiring an expression level of glutathione; comparing the CDK parameter with a CDK threshold value, and the expression level of glutathione with a glutathione threshold value; predicting an effect of anthracycline anticancer drugs based on the result of the comparison; and displaying the result of the prediction. A computer program product and a method for predicting an effect are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for judging susceptibility of cancer cells contained in a biological sample to an anthracycline anticancer agent comprising steps of: measuring expression levels of GST-π of cancer cells contained in a biological sample; and judging the susceptibility of cancer cells contained in a biological sample to an anthracycline anticancer agent as high when the expression level of GST-π obtained by the measuring process is high, and a computer program which makes a computer execute the method.
摘要:
A method for judging a risk of cancer recurrence comprising: acquiring an activity value and expression level of a first cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) of a cell contained in tissues extracted from cancer patients, an activity value and expression level of a second CDK, and a number of Ki67-expressing cells or an expression level of Ki67; and judging a risk of cancer recurrence based on the acquired activity value and expression level of the first CDK, the activity value and expression level of the second CDK, and a percentage of Ki67-expressing cells or the expression level of Ki67. A computer program product and a computer system are also disclosed.

摘要:
N-terminal substituted dipeptide nitriles as defined are useful as inhibitors of cysteine cathepsins, e.g. cathepsins B, K, L and S, and can be used for the treatment of cysteine cathepsin dependent diseases and conditions, including inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, tumors (especially tumor invasion and tumor metastasis), coronary disease, atherosclerosis (including atherosclerotic plaque rupture and destabilization). Particular dipeptide nitriles are compounds of formula I, or physiologically-acceptable and -cleavable esters or a salts thereof wherein: the symbols are as defined. In particular it has been found that by appropriate choice of groups R, R2, R3, R4, R5, X1, Y and L, the relative selectivity of the compounds as inhibitors of the various cysteine cathepsin types, e.g. cathepsins B, K, L and S may be altered, e.g. to obtain inhibitors which selectively inhibit a particular cathepsin type or combination of cathepsin types.
