Journal Article
Uche, F. I., Drijfhout, F., McCullagh, J., Richardson, A., & Li, W. W. (2016). Cytotoxicity effects and apoptosis induction by cycleanine and tetrandrine. Planta Medica, 82(S01), https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0036-1596584

Ovarian cancer remains one of the main causes of death in all gynecologic malignancies [1]. Natural products continue to be important sources of clinically approved anti-cancer drugs [2, 3]. Triclisia subcordata Oliv (Menispermeaceae) is a medicinal... Read More about Cytotoxicity effects and apoptosis induction by cycleanine and tetrandrine.

Antagonism of Bcl-XL is necessary for synergy between carboplatin and BH3 mimetics in ovarian cancer cells (2016)
Journal Article
Abed, M., Abdullah, M., & Richardson, A. (2016). Antagonism of Bcl-XL is necessary for synergy between carboplatin and BH3 mimetics in ovarian cancer cells. Journal of Ovarian Research, 25 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13048-016-0234-y

BACKGROUND: BH3 mimetics are a class of drugs that antagonize the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis inhibitors. We have previously shown that these compounds can potentiate the activity of carboplatin against several ovarian cancer cell lines. However, recen...

The BH3 Mimetic Obatoclax Accumulates in Lysosomes and Causes Their Alkalinization. (2016)
Journal Article
Stamelos, V. A., Fisher, N., Bamrah, H., Voisey, C., Price, J. C., Farrell, W. E., …Richardson, A. (in press). The BH3 Mimetic Obatoclax Accumulates in Lysosomes and Causes Their Alkalinization. PloS one, e0150696 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0150696

Obatoclax belongs to a class of compounds known as BH3 mimetics which function as antagonists of Bcl-2 family apoptosis regulators. It has undergone extensive preclinical and clinical evaluation as a cancer therapeutic. Despite this, it is clear that...
