| Used to treat urea cycle disorders Sodium phenylbutyrate helps remove ammonia from the body. -Phenyl-butyrate (PB)4 is an aromatic fatty acid that is converted in vivo to phenylacetate (PA) by β-oxidation in liver and kidney mitochondria. -In human body, phenylbutyrate is oxidized to phenylacetate, which is in turn conjugated with glutamine and eliminated in urine as phenylacetylglutamine, thereby mediating elimination of waste nitrogen -Phenylbutyrate is one of the first drugs encountered in cancer therapy as a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) (relatively weak compared to vorinostat (SAHA), romidepsin, etc.). -Butyric acid is one of the short-chain fatty acids produced by the gut microbiota through the fermentation of dietary fiber. Butyrate is primarily recognized for its beneficial effects in the colon and is tightly linked to gut health. -Phenylbutyrate is a derivative of butyrate that has been chemically modified by the addition of a phenyl group. This structural change increases its lipophilicity (fat solubility) and alters its metabolic fate and biological activity. This allows it to be used as a systemic drug, in contrast to the locally produced butyrate in the gut, which is rapidly metabolized by colonocytes Pathways: -Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor -ER stress inhibitor (at least in normal cell) -Can act as a chemical chaperone, helping to reduce ER stress by facilitating proper protein folding. -Modulation of NF-κB Signaling -Changes in pathways such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK. -Some preclinical investigations have reported that treatment with phenylbutyrate leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, both of which can result in an increase of ROS within cancer cells. Note: Sodium butyrate (NaBu) vs Sodium phenylbutyrate -Sodium butyrate is primarily a research tool with limited clinical application, whereas phenylbutyrate is used clinically -Phenylbutyrate typically exhibits improved pharmacokinetics and is more amenable to systemic use compared to sodium butyrate. -Both compounds act as HDAC inhibitors, phenylbutyrate additionally modulates ER stress and mitochondrial function, leading to potentially greater ROS production in certain cancer cells. https://www.purepba.com/shop/

| A radiosensitizer is an agent that makes cancer cells more sensitive to the damaging effects of radiation therapy. By using a radiosensitizer, clinicians aim to enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatment by either increasing the damage incurred by tumor cells or by interfering with the cancer cells’ repair mechanisms. This can potentially allow for lower doses of radiation, reduced side effects, or improved treatment outcomes. Pathways that help Radiosensitivity: downregulating HIF-1α, increase SIRT1, Txr List of Natural Products with radiosensitizing properties: -Curcumin:modulate NF-κB, STAT3 and has been shown in preclinical studies to enhance the effects of radiation by inhibiting cell survival pathways. -Resveratrol: -EGCG: -Quercetin: -Genistein: -Parthenolide: How radiosensitizers inhibit the thioredoxin (Trx) system in cellular contexts. Notable radiosensitizers, including: -gold nanoparticles (GNPs), -gold triethylphosphine cyanide ([Au(SCN) (PEt3)]), -auranofin, ceria nanoparticles (CONPs), -curcumin and its derivatives, -piperlongamide, -indolequinone derivatives, -micheliolide, -motexafin gadolinium, and -ethane selenide selenidazole derivatives (SeDs) |
