Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl) phenoxy] ethanamine (DPPE; tesmilifene) is a novel anti-histaminic and chemopotentiating agent that has a hormetic effect on DNA synthesis in MCF (Michigan Cancer Foundation)-7 human breast cancer cells in vitro and stimulates the growth of experimental tumors in rodents. In a prospectively randomized phase three trial (NCIC MA.19), 152 patients who were co-administered DPPE and doxorubicin survived 50% longer (P < 0.03) than 153 patients who were administered the same dose and schedule of doxorubicin alone. At clinically relevant in vitro concentrations that do not inhibit the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) pump, DPPE selectively sensitizes the cancer cells that express the multiple drug resistance phenotype, making them more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents, including anthracyclines and taxanes. Based on its previously demonstrated interaction with histamine at CYP3A4, a P450 that metabolizes arachidonic acid, and its induction of high levels of prostacyclin in the gut of rodents, modulation by DPPE of the intracellular concentration of arachidonate products, such as hydroxyeicosatetraeinoic acids, implicated in increased cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, is postulated.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
