Mixed ligand complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with quercetin and diimine ligands: synthesis, characterization, anti-cancer and anti-oxidant activity
(Springer, 2020)
In this work, mixed ligand complexes of Co(II) Ni(II) and Cu(II) were synthesized using quercetin and diimine (1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2 '-bipyiridine) ligands. The obtained Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes are new and the ...
Toxicity assessment of Hypericum olympicum subsp. olympicum L. on human lymphocytes and breast cancer cell lines
(Univ South Bohemia, 2020)
There is a limited number of studies about the constituents of Hypericum olympicum subsp. olympicum and its genotoxic and cytotoxic potency. We examined the possible antigenotoxic/genotoxic properties of methanolic extract ...
Effective and new potent drug combination: histone deacetylase and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway inhibitors in lung carcinoma cells
(Wiley, 2019)
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide with a high mortality rate. In this study, the therapeutic effect of combination valproic acid and niclosamide was investigated on human lung cancer cell line. ...
Development of near-infrared region luminescent N-acetyl-L-cysteine-coated Ag2S quantum dots with differential therapeutic effect
(Future Medicine Ltd, 2019)
Aim: N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a free radical scavenger. We developed NAC-coated Ag2S (NAC-Ag2S) quantum dot (QD) as an optical imaging and therapeutic agent. Materials & methods: QDs were synthesized in water. Their ...
Synthesis, characterization, anticancer and antioxidant activity of new nickel(II) and copper(II) flavonoid complexes
(Elsevier, 2019)
Flavonoids are natural products which are known to have biological activity for human health. In this study, new mixed ligand complexes of Ni(II) and Cu(II) were synthesized by using flavonoid (quercetin or naringenin) and ...
Cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of an endemic plant of Turkey salvia kronenburgii on breast cancer cell lines
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2019)
Context: The natural products derived from plants are the important sources that can be used for breast cancer treatment. Salvia species and their derived products were recommended as potential antitumor substances. Aim: ...
Lichens exerts an anti-proliferative effect on human breast and lung cancer cells through induction of apoptosis
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2019)
Successful cancer treatment still requires new complexes or compounds from natural sources. Therefore, we investigated anti-growth/apoptotic effects of methanol extracts of the lichen species (Xanthoparmelia somloensis ...
Quantification of DNA damage products by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in lung cell lines and prevention effect of thyme antioxidants on oxidative induced DNA damage
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Lung cancer has a high treatment cost and poor prognosis in comparison to other types of cancers. This work was involved in studying oxidative DNA base damage inhibition. Accordingly, standard carvacrol, thymol, thymoquinone ...
Valproic acid, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, induces apoptosis in breast cancer stem cells
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2018)
Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are a cell subpopulation that can reinitiate tumors, resist chemotherapy, give rise to metastases and lead to disease relapse because of an acquired resistance to apoptosis. Especially, ...
Folic acid-conjugated cationic Ag2S quantum dots for optical imaging and selective doxorubicin delivery to HeLa cells
(Future Medicine Ltd, 2017)
We aim to develop folic acid ( FA)-conjugated cationic Ag2S near-infrared quantum dots (NIRQDs) for the delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) selectively to folate receptor (FR)-positive cancer cells to achieve enhanced drug ...
