Lipoxygenase inhibitors as potential cancer chemopreventives.
Mounting evidence suggests that lipoxygenase (LO)-catalyzed products have a profound influence on the development and progression of human cancers. Compared with normal tissues, significantly elevated levels of LO metabolites have been found in lung, prostate, breast, colon, and skin cancer cells, as well as in cells from patients with both acute and chronic leukemias. LO-mediated products elic...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitors as potential cancer chemopreventives.
Epidemiological and experimental evidence strongly supports a role for estrogens in the development and growth of breast tumors. A role for estrogen in prostate neoplasia has also been postulated. Therefore, one chemopreventive strategy for breast and prostate cancers is to decrease estrogen production. This can be accomplished by inhibiting aromatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final, rate-...
متن کاملDesign, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 6-methoxy-2-arylquinolines as potential P-glycoprotein inhibitors
Objective(s): In the present study,a new series of 6-methoxy-2-arylquinoline analogues was designed and synthesized as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors using quinine and flavones as the lead compounds. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against two human cancer cell lines including EPG85-257RDB, multidrug-resistant gastric carcinoma cells (P...
متن کاملFarnesyl protein transferase inhibitors as potential cancer chemopreventives.
Among the most important targets for chemopreventive intervention and drug development are deregulated signal transduction pathways. Ras proteins serve as central connectors between signals generated at the plasma membrane and nuclear effectors; thus, disrupting the Ras signaling pathway could have significant potential as a cancer chemopreventive strategy. Target organs for Ras-based chemoprev...
متن کاملBacterial efflux pump inhibitors from natural sources.
The rapid spread of bacteria expressing multidrug resistance (MDR) has necessitated the discovery of new antibacterials and resistance-modifying agents. Since the initial discovery of bacterial efflux pumps in the 1980s, many have been characterized in community- and hospital-acquired Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia c...
