A promising therapeutic combination for metastatic prostate cancer: Chloroquine as autophagy inhibitor and palladium(II) barbiturate complex
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Autophagy is a catabolic process for cells that can provide energy sources and allows cancer cells to evade cell death. Therefore, studies on the combination of autophagy inhibitors with drugs are increasing as a new ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Highly promising antitumor agent of a novel Platinum(II) complex bearing a tetradentate chelating ligand
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2020)
A new mononuclear cationic platinum(II) coordination compound with 6,6'-bis(NH-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (L) ligand having N-4-tetradentate binding pocket [Pt(L)]-Cl-2.2H(2)O (Complex 1) was synthesized and ...
Usnea filipendula induces apoptosis in human colon cancer cell lines
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2018)
Lichens are complex organisms living in a symbiotic relationship with fungi and algae have recently received special interest in cancer research. The cytotoxic activities of Usnea filipendula Stirt. lichen extract was ...
Pd(II) and Pt(II) saccharinate complexes of bis(diphenylphosphino) propane/butane: synthesis, structure, antiproliferative activity and mechanism of action
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2018)
[M(sac)(2)(dppp)] (1 and 2), [M(dppp)(2)](sac)(2) (3 and 4) and [M(sac)(2)(dppb)] (5 and 6) complexes, where M = Pd-II (1, 3 and 5) and Pt-II (2, 4 and 6), sac = saccharinate, dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and ...
Synthesis, structures and anticancer potentials of platinum(II) saccharinate complexes of tertiary phosphines with phenyl and cyclohexyl groups targeting mitochondria and DNA
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2018)
A series of new Pt(II) saccharinate complexes containing PR3 ligands (PPh3, PPh2Cy, PPhCy2 and PCy3) with progressive phenyl (Ph) replacement by cyclohexyl (Cy) were synthesized and structurally characterized by lR, NMR, ...
Structural studies and cytotoxic activity of a new dinuclear coordination compound of palladium(II)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine with rigid dianionic 1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonate linker
(Wiley, 2018)
A new dinuclear coordination compound of palladium(II), [Pd-2(terpy)(2)(-tas-N-1,N-4)]SO(4)11H(2)O (1), was synthesized by tethering a doubly deprotonated 1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonate (tas) linker generated in situ via ...
A promising natural product, pristimerin, results in cytotoxicity against breast cancer stem cells in vitro and xenografts in vivo through apoptosis and an incomplete autopaghy in breast cancer
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
Several natural products have been suggested as effective agents for the treatment of cancer. Given the important role of CSCs (Cancer Stem Cells) in cancer, which is a trendy hypothesis, it is worth investigating the ...
