Heterocyclic Compounds Bearing Triazine Scaffold and Their Biological Significance: A Review
Authors: Tarawanti Verma, Manish Sinha and Nitin BansalBenzene is a six-membered hydrocarbon ring system and if three carbon-hydrogen units of benzene ring are replaced by nitrogen atoms then triazine is formed. Triazines are present in three isomeric forms 1,2,3- triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, and 1,3,5-triazine according to the position of the nitrogen atom. These are weak bases having weaker resonance energy than benzene, so nucleophilic substitution is preferred than elec Read More

Dietary Phenolic Acids and Flavonoids as Potential Anti-Cancer Agents: Current State of the Art and Future Perspectives
More LessBackground: Cancer is a rapidly growing disease and the second most leading cause of death worldwide. Breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancer are the most diagnosed types of cancer among the majority of the population. The prevalence of these cancers is increasing rapidly due to the lack of effective drugs. The search for anti-cancer bioactive components from natural plant sources is gaining immense significance. The ai Read More

New Derivatives of Bacteriopurpurin with Thiolated Au (I) Complexes: Dual Darkand Light Activated Antitumor Potency
Background: Conventional antitumor Photosensitizers (PS) are normally low toxic in the dark whereas light activation triggers massive cell death (photodynamic therapy, PDT). Objective: To expand the therapeutic potential of PS to dual potency cytocidal agents, taking advantage of the use of bacteriopurpurin for a deeper tissue penetration of light, and suitability of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle for chemical modifications at its Read More

Activation of PI3K/Akt/NF-kB Signaling Mediates Swedish Snus Induced Proliferation and Apoptosis Evasion in the Rat Forestomach: Modulation by Blueberry
Background and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to ascertain whether the modulatory effects of blueberries on cell proliferation induced by Swedish snus in the rat forestomach epithelium is mediated via abrogation of the PI3K/Akt/NFΚB signaling axis that regulates cell fate decision. Methods: The transcript and protein expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and apoptosis, as well as canonical P Read More

Molecular Docking Study, Cytotoxicity, Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptotic Induction of Novel Chalcones Incorporating Thiadiazolyl Isoquinoline in Cervical Cancer
Background: Chalcones are naturally occurring compounds found in various plant species which are widely used for the traditional popular treatments. Chalcones are distinguished secondary metabolites reported to display diverse biological activities such as antiviral, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial and antioxidant agents. The presence of a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl group in chalcones is assume Read More

Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Substituted (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole as Potent Androgen Receptor Antagonist
Background: Androgen Receptor (AR) is one of the highly explored targets for the treatment of prostate cancer. The emergence of point mutation in the Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) of AR has resulted in the development of resistance against AR antagonist. The point mutation T877A, W741L and F876L confer resistance to flutamide, bicalutamide and enzalutamide respectively. There is no AR antagonist in the present clinical s Read More

High Expression of SIRT1 Associates with the Doxorubicin Resistance of Breast Cancer through the Activation of Akt
Authors: Xiaoxia Jin, Yingze Wei, Yushan Liu, Yali Chen, Bin Zhao, Jieyu Huang, Haiyan Yu and Chunsun LiBackground and Purpose: Although limited by side effects and development of resistance, doxorubicin still represents the most common chemotherapy for breast cancer. Thus, the identification of critical molecules to alleviate doxorubicin resistance is crucial. Here, we provide a molecular rationale for the breast cancer patients potentially benefitting from doxorubicin based on the expression levels of SIRT1, an id Read More

Deglucohellebrin: A Potent Agent for Glioblastoma Treatment
Background: Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumor in adults with a dismal prognosis. To date, several anticancer agents have been isolated from plants. Helleborus odorus subsp. Cyclophyllus is an endemic plant of the Balcan flora. Herewith, we investigated for the first time, the anti-glioma effect of deglucohellebrin (DGH) extracted from the roots of Helleborus. Methods: We investigated the effect of DG Read More

Oxidative Stress Modulation and Radiosensitizing Effect of Quinoxaline-1,4-Dioxides Derivatives
Background: Quinoxaline-1,4-dioxide (QNX) derivatives are synthetic heterocyclic compounds with multiple biological and pharmacological effects. Objective: In this study, we investigated the oxidative status of quinoxaline-1,4-dioxides derivatives in modulating melanoma and glioma cell lines, based on previous results from the research group and their capability to promote cell damage by the production of Reactive Oxygen S Read More
