11>I looked up saxonomer and sth and couldn't find any cancer medications similar to those. Sth brought up some Growth Hormone replacements but nothing else. If you can find some more information, I would be glad to look again for you.

What is an anti-cancer molecule?
10>It is a very generic term. Generally, it is considered an anti-cancer drug, a drug which interferes (somehow) with the cellular growth and proliferation. This mostly involves blocking the cell cycle, which leads to cell division, and artificially creating "damage" to the tumor cells inorder to activate cell cycle checkpoints, which arrest the progression through the cycle (by inhibiting DNA replication and mitosis). Therefore, good examples of anti-cancer drugs are all molecules which interfere with the replication machinery, such as cyclosporin or etoposide, or with the mitotic machinery, such as nocodazole and colchicine.
The problem is that these molecules are not specific and are normally given sistemically, thus affecting all replicating cells, such as the cells of the intestinal mucosa, cells of the epidermis and of the hair follicules. This is why people that undergo sessions of chemotherapy are often sick and loose their hair.

Is chocolate having anti cancer properties?
9>Cocoa has been shown to have medicinial benefits however chocolate has lots of added things like additives and sugar so I'm sure you lose the benefits.
Reply:Only dark chocolate i think
Reply:The only foods with anti cancer properties that I know of, are ones high in anti-oxidants like brocolli, blueberries, and acai juice. I seriously doubt chocolate has any at all.
'nuff said?
Reply:I think it may not be true.
Reply:According to some, it does.

Of course too much of it might not be good for other aspects of health. I have heard "Everything in moderation... including moderation." Seems like a good motto.
Here is another article saying that you should go for the chocolate with the highest cocoa content:

Reply:more likely
Reply:not too sure but i know that chocolate can make people happy because they enhance the production of serotinin , a type of hormone produced during orgasm, which is why sometimes girls claim that chocolate is better than sex
(well it's not for me though) lol

Vincristine is an anti cancer drug that works by proventing microtubules from disassembling.?
8>How does this property make it a good drug?
Reply:It's actually the opposite. Vincristine prevents ASSEMBLY of microtubules, thereby inhibiting the mitotic process of cells.
The basis behind a majority of chemotherapy drugs is to limit the growth of all rapidly dividing cells which includes cancer cells. Microtubule formation is essential for mitotic replication, and so the prevention of microtubule formation equates the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation...But it also leads to a lot of negative side-effects.
Reply:That means, keeps the live tissue intact %26amp; doesn't alow the cancer 2 penetrate the cells.
Reply:See Jason's answer. It is very good and accurate.
Vincristine, and its other related cousins, work by preventing microtubule assembly. Paclitaxel and docetaxel prevent microtubule disassembly. Either way, inhibition of the microtubule apparatus serves to inhibit chromosomal separation and movement of molecules within the cytoplasm.
It does have toxicities, however. Principally these are neurologically-related: constipation, hand/foot sensory toxicity (tingling, numbness, etc.), and foot drop.

Does carboplatin (anti-cancer drug) exhibit geometrical isomerism?
7>The structure of carboplatin can be found at the website listed below. Since carboplatin has a bidentate ligand (C6H6O4) it is unable to undergo geometric isomerization. The answer to your question is NO.
How do anti-cancer drugs work? And how do they affect the cells' cycle??
5>Are you asking about chemotherapy? Different chemo drugs work in different ways. Some kill cells that replicate rapidly: because compared to most normal cells, cancer cells replicate rapidly. Some chemo drugs choke off the blood supply to tumors. Some targeted drugs bind to tumor cells to prevent them from replicating. There are probably more ways they work than that ... did you look on Wikipedia under "chemotherapy"?
Reply:I agree with the previous respondent that different chemo drugs work differently. The vast majority of older agents (still in widespread use) act against DNA. There are a variety of different ways they act, but the end result is that the cancer cell recognizes that its DNA is abnormal and destroys itself. These drugs work against any rapidly dividing cells (the idea being that DNA is more actively in use in a rapidly dividing cell). This makes sense when you consider that cancer, by definition, is a disease of rapidly dividing cells. Unfortunately, your body has lots of normal cells that divide rapidly, too, like hair, the cells lining your gut, and blood cells. This explains side effects like hair loss, mouth sores, and low blood counts, because even these good cells are destroyed by the chemo.
Newer chemo drugs may be targeted against a specific type of tumor and so, theoretically, is less toxic to the body's normal cells. The problem is that every type of tumor is so different, and it's nearly impossible to come up with a magic bullet for each one. Researchers are working hard in that direction, though.
