NOSH Aspirin - New Anti-inflammatory Drug to Help Fight Many Cancers.

Top Medical News section of Online Health Expert Cancer News Flash: Feb. 29, 2012  ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters - In a National Cancer Institute funded research, scientists have developed and tested a Novel Hybrid "NOSH Aspirin" (Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Sulfide releasing Aspirin) to be highly effective in inhibiting the growth of Breast, Colon, Pancreas, Lung, Prostate, and some Leukemia cells in experiments.

Nitric Oxide helps dilate the blood vessels and prevents the GI bleeding side effects of regular Aspirin and the Hydrogen Sulfide is a potent anti-inflammatory agent which greatly enhance the anti-cancer properties of the Novel NOSH Aspirin making it highly effective in preventing and fighting cancer in experiments.

The NOSH Aspirin was reported to be 100,000 times more potent than regular Aspirin against Cancer cell growth and did not damage normal cells.

Online Health Expert's Medical News Flash: In a Japanese Study, Thrombin Inhibitor Argatroban Has Been Shown to Inhibit Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer Cells in Mice.

Breast Cancer Feb. 23, 2012: In an exciting new study done at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mie University School of Medicine, Tsu, Mie, Japan, published in the Journal Breast Cancer in partnership with The Japanese Breast Cancer Society found Thrombin-inhibitor Argatroban to inhibit Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer cells via down regulation of Tissue Factor (TF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF).


The team of Researchers injected MDA 231 Breast Cancer cells, treated with Thrombin, in the Mice hearts and compared the Test group that was given Argatroban intraperitonially for 28 days with the Control group that received saline and found the number of Bone Metastasis in the Argatroban group to be significantly lower than the saline group (p < 0.05).
