Tea Helps Treat Damaged Skin In Cancer Patients
Article Date: 04 Dec 2006 - 14:00pm (PST)
Tea extracts work as an effective treatment for patients who suffer from damaged skin following radiation treatment for cancer. Researchers show that this might partly be due to the anti-inflammatory properties of tea. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Medicine, researchers show that tea acts at the cellular level, by inhibiting inflammatory pathways, to reduce inflammation. They also show that tea extracts reduce the duration of radiation-induced skin damage by up to 10 days in patients who received radiation treatment.
Frank Pajonk, from the University of California in Los Angeles, USA, and colleagues from the University of Freiburg, Germany, studied the effects of green tea and black tea extracts on patients who had been treated with radiotherapy, which can damage the skin. The authors then analysed the effects of the same tea extracts on human and mouse white blood cells in culture.
Article continues below and (thank you)
Pajonk et al. find that tea extracts reduce the duration of skin toxicity following radiotherapy by 5 to 10 days. Green tea extracts are more effective than black tea extracts in some patients. Pajonk et al. also show that tea extracts reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, TNFalpha and PGE2, in human white blood cells in culture, with green tea having higher anti-inflammatory properties than black tea. Both black tea and green tea inhibit one major inflammatory pathway in mouse white blood cells.
Pajonk et al. add that tea's high content of polyphenols is likely to be responsible for its high anti-inflammatory activity, but that other pathways are probably involved in its clinical effectiveness.

Protein Modification Technologies Paving The Way For New Therapeutics
The availability of therapeutic proteins for the treatment of human diseases is changing the practice of medicine by providing treatment options for previously refractory diseases and untreatable conditions. But therapeutic protein candidates often have to overcome a number of obstacles in order to be viable therapies, including short half-lives and rapid clearance. By modifying proteins in a site-specific manner, the stability and therapeutic life of protein drug candidates are being improved, and drug candidates that would otherwise fail to survive pre-clinical development are being commercialized.
Collaborations between market sector participants and pharma companies are at an all-time high. The value of commercial protein drugs that have been modified to improve their therapeutic value exceeds $6 billion, and this total will double by the end of the decade. As the pace of new biological drug candidates emerging from automated discovery programs accelerates, the scenario for modification technology companies and their pharmaceutical partners is highly favorable. In this climate, strategic positioning and IP access takes on increased importance, a dynamic underscored by the recent acquisition and investment decisions of several pharma companies.
These findings are examined in a new and comprehensive report from Applied Data Research. The report concludes that proprietary platforms for site-specific protein modification will become integrated into the drug development process as emerging protein drug candidates are targeted to increasingly challenging therapeutic targets.
