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 کاملCytotoxic and insecticidal activities of derivatives of harmine, a natural insecticidal component isolated from Peganum harmala.
In a continuing effort to develop novel β-carbolines endowed with better insecticidal activity, a simple high-yielding method for the synthesis of harmine compounds starting from L-tryptophan has been developed and a series of 1,3-substituted β-carboline derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against insect cultured Sf9 cell line in vitro and insecticidal activit...
متن کاملMass Spectrometry of Natural and Synthetic Peptide Derivatives
INTRODUCTION Preliminary studies on the use of mass spectrometry for the determination of amino acid sequences in peptides have been published by Biemann a al.1' 2 who reduced the peptide bonds and the terminal carboxyl by LiA1H4 or LiA1D4 to obtain polyamino-alcohols or the corresponding polyamines. For the purpose of obtaining sufficiently volatile derivatives, all later authors have used N-a...
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(...
متن کاملNatural cinnamic acids, synthetic derivatives and hybrids with antimicrobial activity.
Antimicrobial natural preparations involving cinnamon, storax and propolis have been long used topically for treating infections. Cinnamic acids and related molecules are partly responsible for the therapeutic effects observed in these preparations. Most of the cinnamic acids, their esters, amides, aldehydes and alcohols, show significant growth inhibition against one or several bacterial and f...
