BACKGROUND
A novel series of structurally divergent 1,5-diaryl-3-oxo-1,4-pentadiene analogues 1-10 displayed marked cytotoxic potencies towards a number of human leukemia/lymphoma cells.
OBJECTIVE
To identify novel selective cytotoxic compounds that induce apoptosis.
METHODS
The Differential Nuclear
Novel clusters of 3,5-bis(benzylidene)-4-oxo-1-piperidinyl dimers 3-5 were evaluated against human Molt4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes and human HeLa cervix adenocarcinoma cells as well as murine L1210 leukemia neoplasms. Several of these compounds demonstrated IC50 values in the submicromolar and low
A series of 1-[3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)propanoyl]-3,5-bis(benzylidene)-4-piperidones 4a-e display promising P-glycoprotein dependent multidrug resistance (MDR) revertant properties and are significantly more potent than a reference drug verapamil when evaluated against L-5178Y MDR lymphoma cells.
