hydantoin/breast neoplasms

One-electron oxidation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) yielded a guanidinohydantoin derivative (dGh) and a spiroiminodihydantoin derivative (dSp), both putatively mutagenic products that may be formed in vivo. The nucleoside dGh was the major product at room temperature, regardless

4-Hydroxyphenylmethylene hydantoin (PMH, 1), isolated from the Red Sea sponge Hemimycale arabica, and delta-tocotrienol (3), isolated from the tocotrienol-rich fraction of palm oil, are important antimetastatic and antiproliferative natural products that proved effective against metastatic prostate

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide and a critical public health concern. Here we investigated the anticancer potential and effects of low-molecular-weight bridgehead oxygen and nitrogen-containing spiro-bisheterocycles on proliferation and apoptosis of the

In this study, a series of synthesized 3-(4-substituted benzyl)-5-isopropyl-5-phenylhydantoin derivatives as a potential antiproliferative and antimigratory agents were investigated. The possible antitumor mechanisms of investigated hydantoin derivatives were examined on human breast cancer cell

Breast and prostate cancers are among the most common cancers worldwide with devastating statistics for the metastatic, chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-resistant phenotypes. Novel therapies interfering with new and/or multiple pathways involved in the pathology of cancer are urgently needed.

OBJECTIVE To develop a rationally designed new nitrogen mustard namely Fluorenhymustine (compound 2), where N,N'-bis(2chloro-ethyl)amino group, the established anticancer functionality, is attached to the 2-ethyl fluorenone hydantoin moiety. METHODS Starting from fluorenone hydantoin, a 3-step

New derivatives based upon the tetrahydro-β-carboline-hydantoin and tetrahydro-β-carboline-piperazinedione scaffolds were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit PDE5 in vitro, and numerous compounds with IC(50) values in the low nanomolar range were identified

The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) has been reported as a key mediator in inflammatory processes and cancer invasion/metastasis. In this study, we report the discovery of novel P2X7R antagonists and their functional activities as potential antimetastatic agents. Modifications of the hydantoin core-skeleton

Effective protection from the harmful effects of UV radiation may be achieved by using sunscreens containing organic or inorganic UV filters. The number of currently available UV filters is limited and some of the allowed molecules possess limitations such as systemic absorption, endocrine
