Parker Hughes Institute scientists develop 24 new drugs containing metal

Vanadium effective in fighting cancer cells

May 3, 2000, Saint Paul, Minn. ( In a systematic effort to develop effective drugs with a broad spectrum and potent anti-cancer activity, researchers at the St. Paul, Minn.-based Parker Hughes Institute have developed 24 new drugs containing the metal vanadium. The results of this research are published in this months issue of Clinical Cancer Research, the official scientific journal of the American Association of Cancer Research.

These novel drugs were effective against 14 of 14 different cancer cell lines as well as cancer cells taken directly from patients. Targeted cancer cells included those of breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, leukemia and lymphoma. These new anti-cancer drugs work by causing the cancer cells to commit suicide (or apoptosis) within 4 to 24 hours.

These drugs are now being tested in animal safety studies to identify those that have the best therapeutic index.

Calcium & Cancer

Can colon cancer incidence and death rates be reduced with calcium and vitamin D?

It was proposed in 1980 that vitamin D and calcium could reduce the risk of colon cancer. This assertion was based on the decreasing gradient of mortality rates from north to south, suggesting a mechanism related to a favorable influence of ultraviolet-induced vitamin D metabolites on metabolism of calcium. A 19-y prospective study of 1954 Chicago men found that a dietary intake of greater than 3.75 micrograms vitamin D/d was associated with a 50% reduction in the incidence of colorectal cancer, whereas an intake of greater than or equal to 1200 mg Ca/d was associated with a 75% reduction. Clinical and laboratory studies further support these findings. A nested case-control study based on serum drawn from a cohort of 25,620 individuals reported that moderately elevated concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, in the range 65-100 nmol/L, were associated with large reductions (P less than 0.05) in the incidence of colorectal cancer.

The geographic distribution of colon cancer is similar to the historical geographic distribution of rickets. The highest death rates from colon cancer occur in areas that had high prevalence rates of rickets--regions with winter ultraviolet radiation deficiency, generally due to a combination of high or moderately high latitude, high-sulfur content air pollution (acid haze), higher than average stratospheric ozone thickness, and persistently thick winter cloud cover. The geographic distribution of colon cancer mortality rates reveals significantly low death rates at low latitudes in the United States and significantly high rates in the industrialized Northeast. The Northeast has a combination of latitude, climate, and air pollution that prevents any synthesis of vitamin D during a five-month vitamin D winter. Breast cancer death rates in white women also rise with distance from the equator and are highest in areas with long vitamin D winters. Colon cancer incidence rates also have been shown to be inversely proportional to intake of calcium. These findings, which are consistent with laboratory results, indicate that most cases of colon cancer may be prevented with regular intake of calcium in the range of 1,800 mg per day, in a dietary context that includes 800 IU per day (20 micrograms) of vitamin D3. (In women, an intake of approximately 1,000 mg of calcium per 1,000 kcal of energy with 800 IU of vitamin D would be sufficient.) In observational studies, the source of approximately 90% of the calcium intake was vitamin D-fortified milk. Vitamin D may also be obtained from fatty fish. In addition to reduction of incidence and mortality rates from colon cancer, epidemiological data suggest that intake of 800 IU/day of vitamin D may be associated with enhanced survival rates among breast cancer cases.

BACKGROUND: Calcium and vitamin D have been hypothesized to reduce colorectal cancer risk. Epidemiological evidence, however, is mixed. METHODS: To explore those relationships, data were collected as part of a population-based, case-control study of colorectal cancer in Wisconsin women (678 controls, 348 colon and 164 rectal cancer cases). A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to ascertain food and dietary supplement intake 2 years prior to interview. Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (OR). RESULTS: Higher levels of calcium intake were associated with reduced colon and rectal cancer risk. The following adjusted OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were observed, comparing the fifth quintile (based on control intake) with the first: colon cancer: OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-1.0, P-trend: 0.03; rectal cancer: OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.3-1.1, P-trend: 0.07. Similar relationships were observed for vitamin D intake, although OR were closer to the null value and did not always behave in a step-wise fashion (fifth quintile versus the first--colon cancer: OR = 0.7, 95% CI: 0.4-1.1, P-trend: 0.05; rectal cancer: OR = 0.8, 95% CI: 0.5-1.5, P-trend: 0.42). CONCLUSION: These data support a protective association of calcium on colon and rectal cancer risk.
