Two new flavonol glycosides as DNA topoisomerase I poisons.
Flavonoids are secondary plant metabolites whose anticancer properties are actually being studied from an epidemiological and pharmacological point of view. They are believed to be implicated in the lower risk of some forms of cancer observed in Asian countries, due to their capacity to control cell proliferation, to act on certain regulatory enzymes as protein kinases or topoisomerases. Based ...
متن کاملLuteolin, an emerging anti-cancer flavonoid, poisons eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I.
Luteolin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, is abundant in our daily dietary intake. It exhibits a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties, but little is known about its biochemical targets other than the fact that it induces topoisomerase II-mediated apoptosis. In the present study, we show that luteolin completely inhibits the catalytic activity of eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I at a conce...
متن کاملThe deubiquitinating enzyme Doa4p protects cells from DNA topoisomerase I poisons.
DNA topoisomerase I (Top1p) catalyzes changes in DNA topology via the formation of an enzyme-DNA covalent complex that is reversibly stabilized by the antitumor drug, camptothecin (CPT). During S-phase, collisions with replication forks convert these complexes into cytotoxic DNA lesions that trigger cell cycle arrest and cell death. To investigate cellular responses to CPT-induced DNA damage, a...
متن کاملCyclometalated gold(III) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as topoisomerase I poisons.
A panel of stable [Au(R-C--N--C)(N-heterocyclic carbene)](+) complexes displays prominent in vitro anticancer properties; [Au(C--N--C)(IMe)]CF(3)SO(3) (1, IMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) significantly poisons topoisomerase I in vitro and suppresses tumor growth in nude mice model.
متن کاملNatural Products as Topoisomerase II Poisons: Effects of Thymoquinone on DNA Cleavage Mediated by Human Topoisomerase IIα
The seeds of Nigella sativa (often referred to as black seed) have long been utilized as a medicinal herb in Middle Eastern, Northern African, and Indian cultures. Historically, black seed has been used to treat a variety of illnesses associated with inflammation. More recent studies have found that it induces apoptosis and displays anticancer activity in animal and cellular models. The major b...
