Selective Pro-Apoptotic Activity of Novel 3,3′-(Aryl/Alkyl-Methylene)Bis(2-Hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-Dione) Derivatives on Human Cancer Cells via the Induction Reactive Oxygen Species
Selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells barring the normal cells is considered as an effective strategy to combat cancer. In the present study, a series of twenty-two (22) synthetic 3,3'-(aryl/alkyl-methylene)bis(2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione) bis-lawsone derivatives were assayed for their pro-apoptotic activity in six different cell lines (five cancerous and one normal) using MTT ass...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin D on apoptotic marker, reactive oxygen species and human sperm parameters during the process of cryopreservation
Objective(s): Sperm cryopreservation plays an undeniable role in assisted reproductive technology. However, this process significantly reduces the motility, viability, morphology and nuclear integrity of sperm. Reasons of these changes were oxidative stress and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of vitamin D on the survival and integrity of ...
متن کاملCytotoxic and Pro-Apoptotic Effects of Honey Bee Venom and Chrysin on Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
Background: The anti-cancer effects of honey bee venom (BV) and chrysin might open a new window for treatment of chemo-resistant cancers. This study was designed to evaluate cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects of BV and chrysin on A2780cp cistplatin- resistant human ovarian cancer cells. Methods: As per the study objectives, A2780cp cells were categorized to 4 groups: 3 experiment groups (treat...
متن کاملSynthesis and Pro-Apoptotic Activity of Novel Glycyrrhetinic Acid Derivatives
Triterpenoids are used for medicinal purposes in many countries. Some, such as oleanolic and glycyrrhetinic acids, are known to be anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic. However, the biological activities of these naturally occurring molecules against their particular targets are weak, so the synthesis of new synthetic analogues with enhanced potency is needed. By combining modifications to bo...
متن کاملEffect of Hesperetin on the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in gastric cancer stem cells: Short Communication
Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in cancer stem cell (CSC) function. Hesperetin (Hst) is a flavonoid that has been shown to affect cellular ROS level. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of Hst on the level of ROS in gastric CSCs (GCSCs). MTT assay was used to evaluate cell survival. Cellular ROS level was measured using 2′,7′-dichlorofluoresci...
