2-methoxyestradiol - Opis:
- Lung cancer is the most common fatal cancer disease in the world. A characteristic feature of lung cancer is genetic diversity. In the overwhelming majority of cases, smoking is the most important etiopathogenic factor. Lung cancer is a cancer with a very bad prognosis regarding long-term survival. The risk of lung cancer depends primarily on active or passive exposure to the carcinogenic components of tobacco smoke. According to available data, the development of lung cancer in addition to active and passive smoking is directly affected by environmental pollution such as smog and fumes, ionizing radiation, mycotoxins and long-term exposure to asbestos (occupational exposure). Research on the pharmacoprevention of lung cancer began over 30 years ago. The first nutrient that the researchers said could inhibit the development of lung cancer was beta carotene. Unfortunately, long-term regular supplementation with high doses of antioxidant in the form of beta-carotene brought the opposite effect. An increase in the incidence of lung cancer was found in people who received beta carotene in the form of a synthetic food supplement. The other component tested was N-acetylcysteine. It is a sulfur compound and a powerful antioxidant that supports the synthesis of glutathione and cysteine, with destructive effects on carcinogenic substances. N-acetyl-cysteine, used in the form of NAC adduct and epigallocatechin-3-gallate, showed efficacy in inhibiting the development of lung cancer only in animal models. In the pharmacoprevention of lung cancer, the use of vitamin E was also tested in the form of tocotrienol and tocopherol. The following work also shows the existence of a high concentration correlation which belongs to the steroid hormone, mainly estrogen, in the blood and the development of lung cancer in women. An increased risk of lung cancer has been observed in women undergoing long-term hormone replacement therapy. The results show that 2-methoxyestradiol, the endogenous metabolite of 17ß-estradiol, shows positive results that inhibit the growth of lung cancer cell lines. The aim of the work was to present the correlation between tobacco abuse and passive smoking and lung cancer, pharmacoprevention of lung cancer and the association of elevated estrogen concentration in women with an increased risk of lung cancer.
