Novel harmine derivatives for tumor targeted therapy
Harmine is a beta-carboline alkaloid found in medicinal plant PeganumHarmala, which has served as a folk anticancer medicine. However, clinical applications of harmine were limited by its low pharmacological effects and noticeable neurotoxicity. In this study, we modified harmine to increase the therapeutic efficacy and to decrease the systemic toxicity. Specifically, two tumor targeting harmin...
متن کاملTumor-targeted gene therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The unique feature of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is its almost universal association with the EBV, which is expressed in a latent form exclusively in cancer cells, and not in the surrounding tissues. We have exploited this differential by constructing a novel replication-deficient adenovirus vector (ad5.oriP) in which transgene expression is under the transcriptional regulation of the...
متن کاملApatinib for molecular targeted therapy in tumor
As tumor angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling has become an attractive anticancer approach. Apatinib, a small-molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, has demonstrated encouraging anticancer activity across a broad range of malignancies, including gastric cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, bre...
متن کاملSynthesis and mechanisms of action of novel harmine derivatives as potential antitumor agents
A series of novel harmine derivatives bearing a benzylindine substituent in position-1 of β-carboline ring were synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. The N2-benzylated β-carboline derivatives 3a-g represented the most interesting anticancer activities and compound 3c was found to be the most active agent to diverse cancer cell lines such as gastric carcinoma, melanoma and colorectal ca...
متن کاملBinding of Harmine Derivatives to DNA: A Spectroscopic Investigation.
Harmine belongs to a group of β-carboline alkaloids endowed with antitumor properties. Harmine and its derivatives are thought to bind to DNA and interfere with topoisomerase activities. We investigated the base-dependent binding of harmine, and three of its synthetic anticancer-active derivatives to the genomic DNA from calf thymus and two synthetic 20-mer double helices, the poly(dG-dC)·poly(...
