Objective: Cancer has risen as the main cause of diseases with the highest rate of mortality in the world. Drugs used in cancer, usually demonstrate side effects on normal tissues. On the other hand, anticancer small peptides, effective on target tissues, should be safe on healthy organs, as being naturally originated compounds. In addition, they may have good pharmacokinetic properties. carnos...

In an effort to establish new benzimidazole related structural leads with improved anticancer activity, several new benzimidazole derivatives (5a-i) with 1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffold incorporated were synthesized and studied for their anticancer activity. The anticancer screening against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines showed that compound (5c) exhibited moderate cytotoxicity.

Quantitative estimation of the structure-anticancer activity relationship in a series of macrocyclic Schiff bases of 2,6-bis(formylaryloxymethyl)pyridines was carried out by the topological approach. Correlation equations describing the relationship between the anticancer activity and structural parameters of the molecules studied and descriptors characterizing their structure were obtained on ...

In the present work a series of novel 2,4-disubstituted -1, 5 -diphenyl substituted -1H-imidazole derivatives were screened for anticancer activity using human liver cancer cell line. Derivatives were evaluated for anticancer activities against Hep G2 (Human liver cancer) cell lines. Newly synthesized compounds A-IVn, A-IVo,B-IVb, B-IVc, B-IVd, and B-IVe showed highly significant cytotoxic acti...

The healthy live fish Mugil cephalus were purchased from lower Anaikkat in Kollidam River, Thanjavur District. Tamilnadu, India. Mucus was carefully scraped from the dorsal body using a sterile spatula, the collected fish mucus was stored separately at 4 °C for further use. Anticancer activity was done by laryngeal cancer cell lines. Primarily the hemolytic activity was done in chicken and goat...

The antimicrobial peptide HPA3 shows anticancer activity in gastric cancer and leukaemia. However, how HPA3 exerts its anticancer activity, as well as whether it also exhibits activity in other cancers, remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the anticancer activity of HPA3 and its analogues in colon cancer and to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this activity....

the development and discovery of new anticancer agents is one of the main goals in medicinal chemistry. the conventional anticancer drugs are concomitant with high incidence of unpleasant side effects like severe gastrointestinal side effects and bone marrow suppression. in recent years, various selective anticancer agents have been emerged like dasatinib. the exact mechanism of dasatinib is th...

Stilbene is an abundant structural scaffold in nature, and stilbene-based compounds have been widely reported for their biological activity. Notably, (E)-resveratrol and its natural stilbene-containing derivatives have been extensively investigated as cardioprotective, potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agents. Starting from its potent chemotherapeutic activity against a wide...

chamaemelum nobile (asteraceae) commonly known as 'roman chamomile' is a medicinal plant used for numerous diseases in traditional medicine, although its anticancer activity is unknown. the present study was carried out to investigate the anticancer as well as apoptotic activity of ethyl acetate fraction of c. nobile on different cancerous cell lines. the cells were treated with varyi...
