High performance illumination of subcutaneous tumor and liver tumor foci in mice was achieved with FITC-labelled sialic acid, which is preferentially taken up into tumors and then incorporated into cellular proteins through an endogenous sialylation pathway.

High-performance illumination of subcutaneous tumor and liver tumor foci was achieved with sialic acid-targeted acid-responsive nanovesicles which become fluorescent and photoacoustic upon internalization into tumor lysosomes.

To evaluate whether or not (-)-menthol affects arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity, we selected human liver tumor cell line (J 5) for examination. By using high performance liquid chromatography, NAT activity for acetylation of 2-aminofluorene (AF) was determined. (-)-Menthol displayed a dose-dependent inhibition to cytosolic NAT activity. Time-course experiments showed that NAT activity measured from intact human liver tumor cells was inhibited by (-)-menthol for up to 24 hrs. But in human liver tumor intact cells, the low doses (0.0032 and 0.032 mM) of (-)-menthol inhibited NAT activity andthe 0.32 mM (-)-menthol did not show any significant differences between control and (-)-menthol treated groups. Using standard steady-state kinetic analysis, it was demonstrated that (-)-menthol was a possible uncompetitive inhibitor (decrease Km and Vmax) to NAT activity in cytosols. This report is the first demonstration which showed (-)-menthol affect on human liver tumor cells NAT activity.
