Palladium (II) complex enhances ROS-dependent apoptotic effects via autophagy inhibition and disruption of multiple signaling pathways in colorectal cancer cells
(2021)
Background: Inhibition of autophagy is reported to be a therapeutically effective strategy in overcoming the resistance that is a deadly outcome in cancer. One of the most common reasons for chemo-resistance to treatment ...
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, ...
Etoposide loaded SPION-PNIPAM nanoparticles improve the in vitro therapeutic outcome on metastatic prostate cancer cells via enhanced apoptosis
(2020)
Prostate cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide because its metastatic form is a deadly disease. Therefore, the development of new chemotherapeutics is of immense importance. Nanoparticle technology seems ...
Lichens exerts an anti-proliferative effect on human breast and lung cancer cells through induction of apoptosis
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2021)
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
