A series of novel carbazole chalcones has been synthesised and evaluated for radical scavenging activity, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activities. Compounds 12m, 12o and 12c exhibited good 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, compounds 12e, 12m and 12d were excellent
7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC) is a potent liver and skin carcinogen when topically applied to the back skin of mice. This compound is found in complex mixtures produced during incomplete combustion of fossil fuels as well as in wood and tobacco smoke. The objective of this study was to elucidate
Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) facilitate controlled delivery of drugs loaded on photoactive platform to the target region under light stimulation. The present study investigated the synthesis and efficacy of carbazole-coumarin (CC)-fused heterocycles as a PTDDS platform for the
Novel carbazole aminoalcohols were designed and synthesized as anticancer agents. Among them, alkylamine-chain-substituted compounds showed the most promising antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values in the single-digit micromolar range against two human tumor cell lines. Topoisomerase I (topo
Chemotherapeutics used in cancer treatment may elicit pleiotropic effects interfering, for instance, directly on DNA metabolism or on endoplasmic organelles functions. Recently there has been a trend towards the use of molecular-targeted therapies as alternative treatments of cancer, arising from
Among the various DNA intercalating molecules prepared in our laboratory, ditercalinium, made up of two 7H-pyrido[4,3-c]carbazole rings linked by a rigid bis-ethylbipiperidine chain (NSC 366241) displays high anti-tumor properties. This dimeric molecule elicits its cytotoxicity through an original
The synthesis of an innovative delivery system for targeted cancer therapy which combines the drug controlled release ability of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) with magnetic properties of magnetite is described herein. In the present study, an easy and smart synthetic strategy, involving new
Based on the efficacy of EHop-016 as an inhibitor of migration and Rac1 activation, a new series of carbazole derivatives has been synthesized. Cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of these compounds were evaluated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Preliminary investigations of their
We have investigated a novel compound, 3,6-bis[2-(1-methylpyridinium)vinyl]carbazole diiodide (BMVC), for inhibiting telomerase activity and distinguishing human lung H1299 and oral Ca9-22 cancer cells from lung IMR90 and skin Detroit-551 normal fibroblast cells. The telomeric repeat amplification
The design, synthesis, and in vitro biological studies of a biotin-carbazole-dicyanovinyl-chlorambucil conjugate (Bio-CBZ-DCV-CBL; 6) are reported. This conjugate (6) is a multifunctional single-molecule appliance composed of a thiol-sensor DCV functionality, a CBZ-derived phototrigger as well as
BACKGROUND
The mitotic spindles are among the most successful targets of anti-cancer chemotherapy, and they still hold promise as targets for novel drugs. The anti-mitotic drugs in current clinical use, including taxanes, epothilones, vinca alkaloids, and halichondrins, are all microtubule-targeting
We have discovered a novel topoisomerase II (topo II) poison, ER-37328 (12,13-dihydro-5-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-4H-benzo[c]pyrimido[5,6,1-jk]carbazole-4,6,10(5H,11H)-trione hydrochloride), which shows potent tumor regression activity against Colon 38 cancer inoculated s.c. Here, we describe studies
In this study, we synthesized a novel carbazole derivative, MHY407, as a sensitizer of cancer cells to increase DNA damage. We then evaluated the anticancer effects of MHY407 and identified the molecular mechanism for the sensitization of breast cancer cell lines. MHY407 significantly increased DNA
Compelling evidence suggests that formation of guanine-quadruplex (G4) can protect the integrity of chromosome ends in eukaryotes, and regulate the activity of some gene promoters. In addition, G4 may be a novel therapeutic target. Thus, a number of ligands have been synthesized to stabilize G4.
Increased death rates due to lung cancer have necessitated the search for potential novel anticancer compounds such as carbazole derivatives. Carbazoles are aromatic heterocyclic compounds with anticancer, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. The study investigated the ability of the novel
