Phenylcinnamides as novel antimitotic agents.
Compound 8H is a phenylcinnamide that induces G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest and cell death in cancer cell lines. Here we show that 8H exerts its cytotoxic activity through disruption of microtubule dynamics in vitro and in cell culture. A series of cinnamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated, and several new compounds were identified that improve on the activity of the parent compound, ...
متن کاملPotential of indigenous microbes as helping agents for
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of heavy metal tolerant soil microbes inoculation on growth and metal uptake of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), couch grass (Triticum repens) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in a soil spiked (and subsequently aged) with increasing concentrations of Pb. A soil sample (soil 1) was spiked with increasing (0 to 1500 mg/kg) concentrations of Pb and in...
متن کاملS-glutathionylation: relevance in diabetes and potential role as a biomarker.
Glutathione is considered the main regulator of redox balance in the cellular milieu due to its capacity for detoxifying deleterious molecules. The oxidative stress induced as a result of a variety of stimuli promotes protein oxidation, usually at cysteine residues, leading to changes in their activity. Mild oxidative stress, which may take place in physiological conditions, induces the reversi...
متن کاملOligopeptides as potential antiaggregation agents for deoxyhemoglobin S.
Oligopeptides that mimic segments of the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin S at potential contact sites can be used to inhibit aggregation. These oligopeptide inhibitors raise the minimum gelling concentration of deoxyhemoglobin S so that chemical modification does not have to be used. The hexapeptide amides of both betaS 1-6 which is believed to be one of the contact areas among aggregates, an...
متن کاملEvaluation of natural anthracene-derived compounds as antimitotic agents.
Plants that contain anthracene-derived compounds such as anthraquinones have been reported to act as anticancer besides their use for millennia to treat constipation, but the mechanism of action is still unfolding. Therefore we pursue this study to explore a new horizon in the anticancer property of these agents with relevance to mitotic arrest. To achieve this goal, the antimitotic activity of...
