Abstract Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) redirect endogenous populations to cells expressing tumour associated antigens induce cell killing. This inherently relies upon a cytotoxic population that is able be recruited. In many cancers, immune checkpoints and other immunosuppressive factors in the microenvironment lead of anergic T-cells which cannot redirected killing thus impede efficacy Bi...

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) and cancer stem cells (CSCs) are two challenging causes of radiotherapy chemotherapy resistance, leading to most cases failure recurrence in breast therapy. This study was conducted investigated the inhibitory effect combination therapy with doxorubicin (an anthracycline) FM19G11 HIF inhibitor) on MCF-7 their CSC-like (CSC-LCs). CSC-LCs a CD44+/CD24- phenotype w...

objective(s): chalcones and their rigid analogues represent an important class of small molecules having anticancer activities. therefore, in this study the synthesis and cytotoxic activity of new 3-benzylidenchroman-4-ones were described as rigid chalcone analogues.   materials and methods: the reaction of resorcinol with 3-chloropropionic acid in the presence of cf3so3h was afforded correspon...

the genus stachys belongs to lamiaceae family with about 300 species and worldwide distribution. in the present study, the cytotoxic activity of four fractions of different satchys species (s. byzatina c. koch., s. inflata benth., s. setifera ten. and s. persica gmel.), has been investigated against ht-29 (colon carcinoma), caco-2 (colorectal adenocarcinoma), t-47d (breast ductal carcinoma) and...
