A class of vanadium complexes were prepared and investigated for their antiproliferative effects by MTT assay. The structure-activity relationship was extensively studied through the ligand variation. The results showed that the synthetic vanadium complexes demonstrated moderate to good
Vanadium compounds are well known for their therapeutic interventions against several diseases. Various biochemical attributes of vanadium complexes inspired us to evaluate the cancer cell killing efficacy of the vanadium complex, viz., vanadyl N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone) glycinate [VO(NG)2].
BACKGROUND
Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM) contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative stress and inflammation, a lung cancer risk factor. Vanadium pentoxide
Contrast agents that specifically enhance cancers on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will allow earlier detection. Vanadium-based chelates (VCs) selectively enhance rodent cancers on MRI, suggesting selective uptake of VCs by cancers. Here we report x-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) of VC uptake
Flavonoid metal ion complexes have been deliberated in recent years and are considered as a new class of medicinal agents with enhanced therapeutic activity and low toxicity. Our study deals with chemotherapeutic effects of vanadium, when coordinated with the flavonoid quercetin on a defined model
Anti-cancer activities of vanadium compounds have generated recent interest because of a combination of desirable properties for chemotherapy, i.e., strong cytotoxicities, anti-metastatic activities and relatively low systemic toxicities. Certain hydrophobic vanadium(v) Schiff base/catecholate
Vanadium is a trace element widely distributed in nature. It interferes with a variety of enzyme systems and is also reported to increase DNA-synthesis and in vitro clonal growth of human and mouse fibroblasts. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of vanadium salts on the in
A biomaterials surface enabling the induction of tumor cell death is particularly desirable for implantable biomedical devices that directly contact tumor tissues. However, this specific antitumor feature is rarely found. Consequently, an antitumor-cell nanocoating comprised of vanadium dioxide
The intracellular distribution patterns of the metal atoms titanium and vanadium after in vivo as well as in vitro treatment of Ehrlich ascites tumor with the antitumor agents titanocene dichloride (TDC) or vanadocene dichloride (VDC) have been investigated by use of electron energy loss
We report the synthesis and characterisation of mixed-metal binuclear ruthenium(II)-vanadium(IV) complexes, which were used as potential photodynamic therapeutic agents for melanoma cell growth inhibition. The novel complexes, [Ru(pbt)2(phen2DTT)](PF6)2·1.5H2O 1 (where phen2DTT =
The anti-cancer activity of vanadium and fish oil has been shown in a large number of studies. This study was undertaken to analyze the combined effect of vanadium and fish oil on 7,12-dimethylbenz(α)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinogenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The whole experiment
The antitumor effects of low dose administration of the vanadium(III) complexes with L-cysteine (complex 1) and N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (complex 2) were compared on benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-induced tumors in Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats, injected with 10.0 mg of BaP, were divided into one
Vanadium is known for its antitumorigenicity. Poised to investigate the impact of well-defined forms of vanadium on processes and specific biomolecules (oncogenes-proteins) involved in cancer cell physiology, a novel ternary V(V)-peroxido-betaine compound was employed in experiments targeting cell
Of the many strategies for precise tumor treatment, near-infrared (NIR) light-activated "one-for-all" theranostic modality with real-time diagnosis and therapy has attracted extensive attention from researchers. Herein, a brand-new theranostic nanoplatform was established on versatile
OBJECTIVE
Hydrazones belonging to the class of NNO donor Schiff bases are reported to have extensive anti-viral activity and anti-neoplastic activity against certain cancers such as colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and testicular cancer. Here we aim to study the possible effects of two novel
