چکیده
In the present investigation, we examined the cytotoxic effect of methanolic extract from Origanum vulgare on HCT-116 and MDA-MB-231 cell line in vitro. In order to determine the cytotoxic effects we used an MTT viability assay. The results showed that cell growth is significantly lower in extract treated cells compared to untreated control. The effect of inhibition of cell growth was higher in the treatment of HCT-116 cell line than in MDA-MB-231. Based on the results it is determined that O. vulgare is a significant source of biologically active substances that have cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity in vitro.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel anthranilamide derivatives as anticancer agents.
A new series of anthranilamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against human colon carcinoma cell lines (HCT 116) and human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MDA-MB-231) in vitro. The bioassay results indicated that compounds 7a-7d, 11a, and 11b with flexible linkers showed promising antiproliferative activity against both cell lines. Among the ...
متن کاملFive New Biphenanthrenes from Cremastra appendiculata.
Five new biphenanthrenes, cremaphenanthrenes A-E (1-5), along with six known ones, were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the tubers of Cremastra appendiculata (D. Don) Makino (Orchidaceae). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. All the compounds obtained were tested in vitro for cytotoxic activities against colon (HCT-116), cervix (Hela), and b...

In this study, we illustrate computer aided drug design of new benzothiazole and pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives as epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitors. Compounds 1-5 were screened at NCI, USA, for antitumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H522), colon cancer (HCT-116, HCT-15 and HT29) and breast cancer (MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231/ATCC)...
متن کاملSynthesis 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...
متن کاملA new cubitane diterpenoid from the soft coral Sinularia crassa.
A new cubitane diterpenoid, crassalone A (1), was isolated from the marine soft coral Sinularia crassa. The structure was determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 is not cytotoxic (IC₅₀ > 20 μg/mL) toward the four human cancer cell lines tested (HL60, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116 and DLD-1).
