Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in older men. The study of tissue markers of PCa can provide information about the state of proliferation and apoptosis in tumors, the susceptibility of tumor cells to metastasis and the mechanisms of resistance to therapy, which, in turn, can help predict the course of the disease and develop personalized treatment. Polyamines (PAs) spermine, spermidine, putrescine are of particular interest in terms of PCa tissue markers.

Materials And Methods: Colloidal solution of gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of tetrachlorauric acid with trisodium citrate. Colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles was obtained by chemical reduction of silver nitrate with tryptophan.
Aim: To evaluate antitumor effect of plant polyphenol extracts from green tea, red wine lees and/or lemon peel alone and in combination with antitumor drugs on the growth of different transplanted tumors in experimental animals.
Materials And Methods: Green tea extract (GTE) was prepared from green tea infusion. GTE-based composites of red wine (GTRW), lemon peel (GTRWL) and/or NanoGTE as well as corresponding nanocomposites were prepared.
Aim: To study the influence of polyamine metabolism inhibitors on the growth, metastasis and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity of Lewis lung carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: Experiments were performed on female mice C57Bl/6 with Lewis lung carcinoma. Nω-hydroxy-nor-arginine (nor-NOHA) and α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) were used as arginase and ODC inhibitors, correspondently.
