In vitro Cytotoxic Activity of Flavonoids on Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
The primary cause for this high mortality rate is the failure to detect ovarian cancer at an initial stage. Difficulties in early detection are associated with the absence of effective population screening methods and specific signs and symptoms characteristic for initial stages of disease [23-27]. The risk of developing ovarian cancer increases with age; other risk factors include inflammations, family history, nulliparity, early menarche and late menopause [4,10,19]. Approximately 80-90% of ovarian cancer cases are epithelial, whereas the heterogenic nature of tumor also confers a poor prognosis and high lethality [4,5,28].

Synthesis and In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity of Novel [1,3] Dioxolo[4,5-g]Chromen-8-ones as a Chalcone-Like Agent
In this investigation, new structures based on homoisoflavonoids were designed. Homoisoflavonoids are considered as an important class of flavonoids with various biological properties such as cytotoxicity. A new series of benzylidene-6,7-dihydro-8H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g] chromen-8-one derivatives were developed and their cytotoxic activities evaluated for all compounds on three human breast cancer...

Compounds containing triazene ring structure are cytotoxic agents and clinically used as antitumor alkylating agents. In this study, a series of triazene derivatives holding alkyl and aryl moieties were synthesized and proved to be potent cytotoxic agents in-vitro particularly against eight cancer cell lines (PC3, HT29, Hela, HL60, Jurkat, K562, MCF7, HepG2) and a non-cancerous cell line (HUVEC...

متن کاملComparison of Cytotoxic Activity of Bile on HepG2 and CCRF-CEM Cell Lines: An in Vitro Study
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of crude bile on the human HepG2 and CCRF-CEM cell lines. Cells were exposed to different dilutions of bile. Antiproliferative effects were determined by the cytotoxic MTT assay. Cells undergoing apoptosis were identified by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Bile administration resulted in dose-dependent c...
