acetylene/neoplasms

Nitroxides have great potential as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for tumor detection. Polyacetylenes(PAs) containing 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine oxyl (TEMPO) and poly(ethylene glycol) were synthesized via metathesis polymerization of the corresponding substituted acetylenes to

Nowadays, two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive attention as cancer drug delivery platforms owing to their unparalleled physicochemical properties and superior specific surface area. Graphdiyne (GDY) is a novel 2D carbon material. Compared with graphene, GDY not only has benzene

Topotecan, a novel anticancer drug, has been widely used in the treatment of ovarian and cervical cancers. Herein, acetylene black (AB) nanoparticles were used to modify the electrode surface, and the electrochemical behavior of topotecan was examined. At the AB film surface, an irreversible

We report the application of cationic tri- and tetra-nuclear gold(I) phosphine complexes [Au3(μ-dppen)3]X3 and [Au4(μ-dppa)4]X4 (X=OTf, PF6) [OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate, dppen=trans-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene, dppa=bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene] for cancer treatment. The results of

1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3, also known as calcitriol), the active form of vitamin D3, is being increasingly recognized for cancer therapy. Our previous work showed that phenyl-pyrrolyl pentane analogs, which mimicked anti-proliferative activities against several cancer cell lines of the

Icotinib is a novel anti-cancer drug that has shown promising clinical efficacy and safety in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At this time, the metabolic fate of icotinib in humans is unknown. In the present study, a liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass

Novel neolymphostin-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) precursors were synthesized either through amide couplings between both cleavable and non-cleavable linkers and neolymphostin derivatives, or through Cu(I)-catalyzed acetylene-azide click cycloadditon between non-cleavable linkers and

A stereoselective and efficient method for free radical addition of benzyl thiol to aryl acetylene in the presence of Et3B-hexane has been developed for the synthesis of (Z) and (E)-styryl benzyl sulfides where base catalyzed hydrothiolations have failed. The scope of this reaction was successfully

Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been deemed to be the most promising strategy for cancer treatment. To improve the efficacy for PDT, nanocarriers are expected to target mitochondria that are vulnerable to toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, overcoming tumor hypoxia is also

Previously, we reported the design and properties of alkyne C-lysine conjugates, a powerful and tunable family of DNA cleaving reagents. We also reported that, upon photoactivation, these molecules are capable of inducing cancer cells death. To prove that the cell death stems from DNA cleavage by

In this work two acetylene alcohols, compound 1 and compound 2, which were isolated and identified from the sponge Cribrochalina vasculum, and which showed anti-tumor effects were further studied with respect to targets and action mechanisms. Gene expression analyses suggested insulin like growth

A new series of theophylline containing acetylene derivatives (6a-6b and 7-13) and theophylline containing 1,2,3-triazoles with variant nucleoside derivatives (20-32) have been designed and synthesized. These compounds were screened for anticancer and antimicrobial activity. Further the

A number of interesting heterocycles were prepared through interaction of the intermediate 3-amino-8-hydroxy-4-imino-6-methyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-chromeno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1) and reagents such as hydrazonyl halides 2 to furnish triazine derivatives 4a-l. Reaction of 1 with phenacyl bromide

OBJECTIVE The n-hexane extracts of the roots of three medicinally used Echinacea species exhibited cytotoxic activity on human cancer cell lines, with Echinacea pallida found to be the most cytotoxic. Acetylenes are present in E. pallida lipophilic extracts but essentially absent in extracts from

Herein we describe the synthesis and evaluation of a series of novel 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinazolin-1-ones for in vitro cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines as well as for potential antimalarial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive strain 3D7 of Plasmodium falciparum.
