cinnamate/neoplasms

To design a new anticancer drug capable of inhibiting not only the proliferation of the differentiated tumor cells but also reducing the tumorigenic capability of cancer stem cells (CSCs), the new Pt(IV) prodrugs with axial cinnamate ligands were synthesized. We demonstrate their superior

HER2-positive breast cancer represents aggressive subtype typical of poor response to standard chemotherapy. To design an anticancer drug selective for HER2 expressing breast cancer, the new Pt(IV) prodrug with axial oleate and cinnamate ligands was synthesized. We demonstrate its superior

OBJECTIVE The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases plays an important role in cancer cell progression. Thus, molecules that target PKC have potential as anticancer agents. The current study aims to understand the treatment of breast cancer cells with alkyl cinnamates. We have

Encouraging selectivity and low micromolar activity against HeLa cervical carcinoma (IC50⩾3.0μM) and the aggressive MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast carcinoma (IC50⩾9.6μM) cell lines has been exhibited by a number of readily accessible 4-(N-benzylamino)cinnamate esters. The potential of the ligands

Allylic acetates derived from Baylis-Hillman reaction undergo efficient nucleophilic isomerization with imidazoles and triazoles to provide imidazolylmethyl and triazolylmethyl cinnamates stereoselectively. Antifungal evaluation of these derivatives against Cryptococcus neoformans exhibits good

Oltipraz (4-methyl-5-(2-pyrazinyl)-1,2-dithiole-3-thione) is an antischistosomal drug presently under evaluation as a possible chemoprotective agent in humans. To date, oltipraz has proved effective as an inhibitor of carcinogenesis in experimental models for breast, bladder, liver, forestomach,

Formosan sweetgum (Liquidamber formosana) is an endemic tree species. Various parts of this tree are used as a traditional Chinese medicine for treating pain, inflammation, and rheumatic disorders. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of bornyl cinnamate, a cinnamic acid

This study examines the chemical composition and in vitro anticancer activity of the essential oil from Ocimum basilicum Linn. (Lamiaceae), cultivated in the Western Ghats of South India. The chemical compositions of basil fresh leaves were identified by GC-MS: 11 components were identified. The

Gliomas are lethal and aggressive form of brain tumors with resistance to conventional radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapies; inviting continuous efforts for drug discovery and drug delivery. Interestingly, small molecule hybrids are one such pharmacophore that continues to capture interest owing

The in vivo toxicity profiles in mice and the antitumour activity in tumour bearing mice were screened for four di-n-butyltin and five triorganotin carboxylates, di-n-butyltin diterebate (5), bis(phenylacetate) (6), bis(deoxycholate) (7), bis(lithocholate) (8), tri-n-butyltin terebate (9), cinnamate

The latex from Euphorbia tirucalli is used in Brazil as a folk medicine for several diseases, including cancer. Recently, we showed a cytotoxic activity of E. tirucalli euphol in a wide range of cancer cell lines. Moreover, we showed that euphol inhibits proliferation, motility and colony formation

Phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes confer amelioration of risk arising from potentially carcinogenic chemicals derived both endogenously, and exogenously, from food and the environment. In this study, efforts were made to isolate and identify potentially cancer preventive constituents from

From the methanol extract of the stem bark of the African tree Antiaris africana Engler, two new bioactive metabolites were isolated, namely, the α-amyrin derivative 1β,11α-dihydroxy-3β-cinnamoyl-α-amyrin (antiarol cinnamate, 1) and a cardiac glycoside,

In our continuing search for novel cancer chemopreventive compounds of natural and synthetic origin, we have evaluated 14 commonly used ultraviolet (UV) sunscreen agents (designated UV-1 to UV-14) for their skin cancer chemoprevention potential. They belong to 8 different chemical categories:

Flavaglines are flavonol-cinnamate-derived cyclopenta[b]benzofurans, so far reported only for the genus Aglaia of the plant family Meliaceae. They represent a group of highly bioactive metabolites already known for their strong antileukemic activities. To assess their suitability as chemotherapeutic
