Pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations selectively kill cancer cells: Action as a pro-drug to deliver hydrogen peroxide to tissues

TL;DR: Human pharmacokinetics data indicate that ascorbate at concentrations achieved only by i.v. administration may be a pro-drug for formation of H(2)O(2), and that blood can be a delivery system of the pro- drug to tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic doses of ascorbate act as a prooxidant and decrease growth of aggressive tumor xenografts in mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that ascorbate at pharmacologic concentrations was a prooxidant, generating hydrogen-peroxide-dependent cytotoxicity toward a variety of cancer cells in vitro without adversely affecting normal cells, and this action may have benefits in cancers with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ascorbate in pharmacologic concentrations selectively generates ascorbate radical and hydrogen peroxide in extracellular fluid in vivo.

TL;DR: The data show that pharmacologic ascorbate is a prodrug for preferential steady-state formation of Asc•− and H2O2 in the extracellular space but not blood, which provides a foundation for pursuing pharmacological ascorBate as a prooxidant therapeutic agent in cancer and infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and Characterization of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Viruses Associated with the 2013 Disease Outbreak among Swine in the United States

TL;DR: Two PEDV isolates are described, successfully obtained from the small intestines of piglets from sow farms in Indiana and Iowa, respectively, which were genetically closely related to each other and were most genetically similar to Chinese strains reported in 2011 to 2012.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Dose Parenteral Ascorbate Enhanced Chemosensitivity of Ovarian Cancer and Reduced Toxicity of Chemotherapy

TL;DR: Investigation of the use of intravenous ascorbic acid in conjunction with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, starting from preclinical models and culminating in a human trial, which demonstrated a significant reduction in chemotherapy-induced adverse effects in patients receiving asCorbate.
