A palladium(II)-saccharinate complex of terpyridine exerts higher anticancer potency and less toxicity than cisplatin in a mouse allograft model
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017)
The main aim of this study is to assess the safety and antitumor efficacy of a palladium(II) (Pd)-saccharinate complex with terpyridine. To characterize the Pd(II) complex in vitro, its cytotoxicity was evaluated using a ...
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 ...
Novel 1-(7-ethoxy-1-benzofuran-2-yl) substituted chalcone derivatives: synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2017)
Cancer treatment still requires new compounds to be discovered. Chalcone and its derivatives exhibit anticancer potential in different cancer cells. A new series of benzofuran substituted chalcone derivatives was synthesized ...
Enhanced cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin through the inhibition of autophagy in triple negative breast cancer cell line
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
Background: The outcome of triple negative breast cancer is still poor and requires improvement with better therapy options. Autophagy has recently been shown to play a role in anticancer drug resistance. Therefore, we ...
Computer-aided prediction and cytotoxicity evaluation of dithiocarbamates of 9,10-anthracenedione as new anticancer agents
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Anticancer activity as an associated action for a series of dithiocarbamates of 9,10-anthracenedione was predicted using the PASS computer program and analysed with PharmaExpert software. The predicted cytotoxic activity ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nonapoptotic cell death induced by Hypericum species on cancer cells
(2017)
Objectives. There are approximately 400 Hypericum species that grow naturally in different geographic originsof the world. Those species have been used in different folk medicines and screened for their biological ...
The MTT viability assay yields strikingly false-positive viabilities although the cells are killed by some plant extracts
(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2017)
The MTT assay is one of the often used cell viability/cytotoxicity assays. However, when the methanol extracts of plants are used to test their cytotoxic potential, interference may occur, resulting in false-positive ...
