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 ...
Induction of autophagy enhances apoptotic cell death via epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition by canertinib in cervical cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2019)
Background: It has been known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) frequently overexpressed in cervical cancer. High levels of EGFR expression in their tumors leads to a poor prognosis and inhibition frequently induces ...
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 ...
Unfolded Protein Response is Involved in Trans-Platinum (II) Complex-Induced Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer Cells via ROS Accumulation
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2019)
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer types and it is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. Even though novel treatment modalities have been developed, it still a ...
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 ...
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, ...
A trans-platinum(II) complex induces apoptosis in cancer stem cells of breast cancer
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
Recent accumulating evidence has supported the notion that tumors have hierarchically organized heterogeneous cell populations and a small subpopulation of cells, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), are responsible for tumor ...
Cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of the combination of palladium (II) 5,5-diethylbarbiturate complex with bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and curcumin on non small lung cancer cell lines
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
Metal-based chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin are widely used treatment of lung cancer which is the major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Recent studies demonstrated that novel metal-based compounds have ...
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, ...
