Advance in the knowledge of molecular biology has thrown light on many aspects of apoptosis regulation mechanisms. This has allowed a change in anti-cancer therapy trends, from classic cytotoxic strategies to the development of new non-harmful therapies which target the apoptosis response
Herein we report the preparation and biological activity of three compounds with the general formula 1-[2-(5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzyloxy)-1-methoxyethyl]-5-fluorouracil. A catechol-derived compound such as 1-[3-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-1-methoxypropyl]-5-fluorouracil and two salicyl-derived compounds
Nanoparticle- and microsphere-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) have attracted wide attention in cancer therapy; those DDSs that are responsive to tumor environment can selectively identify tumor and normal tissues and therefore have shown enhanced anticancer efficacy and alleviated systemic
Genetic predisposition plays a key role in the development of familial breast cancer. In spite of strong familial clustering of the disease and extensive efforts made during the past decade; however, progress has been slow in identifying genetic predisposition for the majority of familial breast
Two steroid-linked phosphoramide mustard prodrugs, 7a and 7b, synthesized. The androgens testosterone and 19-nortestosterone were linked through the 17beta-position via an acetal bond to aldophosphamide (3). Proton-catalyzed, as well as cytochrome P450-mediated cleavage of the acetal bond resulted
A series of porphyrazines (Pzs) with chiral bis-acetal moieties in the β-pyrrole positions ((2R,3R)-2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-diox-2-ene) have been synthesized and screened as antitumor agents in MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells in vitro. The lead Pz 285 was further tested in a mouse tumor
The goal of cancer chemotherapy with classical drugs - the destruction of the tumor cells - is often complicated by significant toxicity. As an alternative, induced differentiation modulates the cell programme by transforming malignant cells into mature cells with no proliferative potential. Our
New treatment modalities are urgently needed to better manage advanced breast cancer. Combination therapies are usually more effective than monotherapy. In this context, the use of cyclic and acyclic O,N-acetals derivative compounds in combination with the suicide gef gene shown a potent anti-tumor
Attention is increasingly being focussed on the cell cycle and apoptosis as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in cancer. Taking 1-[(2-oxepanyl)]-5-fluorouracil previously prepared by us, we committed ourselves to increase the lipophilicity of this upper cyclohomologue of Ftorafur and
Objective: This study was aimed to develop DOX-TPP loaded acetal-PEG-PCCL micelles to improve the clinical efficacy of drug resistance tumor. Significance: Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for breast cancer but is plagued by multidrug resistance (MDR). DOX-TPP-loaded micelles
We first synthesized indomethacin (IND)-grafted dextran copolymer by acetal or ester linkage, which self-assembled with doxorubicin (DOX) into prodrug micelles (IDAC/DOX or IDES/DOX) with the size of ∼200 nm. In vitro drug release test verified IDAC/DOX could trigger
Oleuropein aglycone, which is the major phenolic component of extra virgin olive oil, is gaining popularity and importance in scientific and public communities. This paper summarizes the structure properties, acquisition protocols, and biological activities of oleuropein aglycone. There are three
Combination chemotherapy capable of overcoming cancer drug resistance can be facilitated by nanotechnology.Synthesis, characterization, statistical experimental design, analysis and optimization of stealth pH-sensitive polymeric nanoparticles suitable as a Two different synthetic routes were explored for the synthesis of fluoro furanyl norprogesterone (FFNP) 1, a high-affinity ligand for the progesterone receptor (PgR) that is being developed as a PET imaging agent for PgR-positive breast cancer. Both approaches proceed through a key intermediate,
Attention is increasingly being focussed on the cell cycle and apoptosis as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in cancer. We prepared a series of bioisosteric benzannelated seven-membered 5-FU O,N-acetals to test them against the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Benzo-fused
