Background: Breast cancer is one of the main Cancers affecting patients all over the world; however, till now, there has been no successful treatment without any side effects on patient health, but there are groups of medications similar to MDM2 inhibitors that have promising effects. The aim of this study was to find out whether the use of mdm2 inhibitors can help treat breast cancer using three cell lines. The use of treatments belonging to the MDM2 inhibitor alone or with the use of doxorubicin together with a combination of Nutlin-3, Miladometan, Yh239-EE, and doxorubicin in breast cancer cell lines HP100, MCF7.

Objective: This study aimed to discover the cytotoxic effect of YH239-EE and YH239 alone and their enantiomer potency in cytotoxic effect on the MCF7 cell line.
Methods: We used the cytotoxic study on MDM2 cell lines by detecting the percentage of apoptosis and necrosis by annexin v methods.
Result: This result shows that YH239-EE causes more apoptosis and necrosis 40% in comparison to YH239 without ethyl ester, about 4.
: Prostate cancer is a disease that occurs in men aged more than 50 years. In Iraq, 8.89 men per 100,000 population suffer from prostate cancer, with the incidence being 14,016 cases and mortality being 6,367 cases.

The aim of this study was to determine if the ability of L-NMMA or ADMA to inhibit nitric oxide-mediated relaxation was critically determined by the efficacy of the relaxant stimulus. The effects of L-NMMA or ADMA were examined on relaxation to a range of agonists producing different maximal responses, namely, acetylcholine, the muscarinic partial agonist, butyrylcholine, and calcitonin gene-related peptide-1 (CGRP-1).

The aim of this study was to adopt a variety of different experimental approaches to test the hypothesis that these methylarginines block basal but not agonist-stimulated activity of nitric oxide. Basal activity of nitric oxide was assessed by observing the rise in submaximal phenylephrine-induced tone produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors in male and female aorta and female carotid artery, and by monitoring the vasodilator actions of superoxide dismutase (SOD) or the PDE 5 inhibitor, T-0156.

The aim of this study was to determine if the endogenously produced agent, asymmetric N(G), N(G)-dimethyl-l-arginine (ADMA), also exhibits this unusual selective blocking action.
Experimental Approach: The effect of ADMA on basal nitric oxide activity was assessed by examining its ability to enhance phenylephrine (PE)-induced tone in endothelium-containing rings.
