Abstract

Basic cell studies on a strong anionic poly(cresolsulfonic acid) and a cationic pyrvinium have been conducted to develop therapeutic drugs for glioblastoma, the most malignant brain tumor. To determine the optimal concentration of these mixed drugs, experiments on the cell shape change and survival rate were conducted, and cell resistance was tested through the re-administration of drugs. Through immunochemical testing, the mechanism for cell morphological changes and inhibition of proliferation could be inferred, and when used in combination with temozolomide, the mixture showed a greater cytotoxic effect. Further research is needed on the mechanisms, cell reactions, and animal testing, with a possibility to develop it as a therapeutic drug.


가장 악성 뇌종양인 교모세포종 치료제를 개발하기 위해 강력한 음이온성 고분자인 폴리(크레졸술폰산)와 양이온성 피르비늄에 대한 기초 세포 연구가 진행됐다. 이러한 혼합 약물의 최적 농도를 결정하기 위해 세포 형태 변화와 생존율에 대한 실험을 수행하고, 약물의 재투여를 통해 세포 저항성을 실험하였다. 면역화학적 검사를 통해 세포 형태학적 변화와 증식 억제 메커니즘을 유추할 수 있었으며, 테모졸로마이드와 병용할 경우 혼합물이 더 큰 세포독성 효과를 보였다. 치료약으로 개발할 수 있는 가능성과 함께 메커니즘, 세포 반응 및 동물 실험에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다.
