The anticancer potential of anthraquinones danthron and quinizarin on highly metastatic B16-F10 melanoma murine cells was investigated. Several parameters related to cell proliferation and differentiation, i.e. cell number, intracellular content of polyamines, transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13) activity
The adverse side effects and acquired resistance associated with the clinical application of traditional platinum-based anticancer drugs have forced investigation of alternative transition metal-based compounds and their cytostatic properties. Over the last years, the anticancer potential of cobalt
The condensation of alkylenediamines with quinizarin or with 2,3-dihydro-1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-9,10-anthracenedione, followed by oxidation, gave 1,4-bis[aminoalkyl)amino]-9,10-anthracenediones. Some of these compounds and their 2,3-dihydro derivatives were markedly active against both leukemias and
In this work, we report experimental and computational evidence for the intercalation into the DNA base-pairs of the free quinones quinizarin (Q) and naphthazarin (N) and the interstrand covalent binding of their p-cymene di-ruthenium(ii) complexes (Cl2Ru2X, with X = N, Q bridging ligands). The
1,4-Anthraquinone (AQ) was synthesized and shown to prevent L1210 leukemic cells from synthesizing macromolecules and growing in vitro. In contrast, its dihydroxy-9,10anthraquinone precursor, quinizarin, was inactive. The antitumor activity of AQ was compared to that of daunorubicin (DAU), which is
Copper(II) forms a complex with sodium 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulphonate (sodium quinizarin-2-sulphonate, NaQSH(2)), an analogue of the core unit of anthracycline antibiotics used in the treatment of cancer. The 1:2 metal-ligand complex is formed in aqueous solution at neutral and acidic
