A human breast carcinoma cell line (BOT-2) was derived from an infiltrating duct carcinoma (1). These cells were shown to have antigens that selectively bound antibodies from breast cancer patient sera (2). Furthermore, these tumor specific antigens could be removed from the living cells by low frequency sonication and have been partially characterized (3). These proteins have been shown to be around 100,000 MW and contain approximately 6% hexose and hexosamines. However, only the hexosamines appear to be available for lectin binding. This study was designed to use Concanavalin A (Con A) and Ricinus Communis (Ricin) agglutinin for the topagraphical localization of D-mannopyranosyl or glucopyranosyl and D-galactopyranosyl or DN- acetyl glactopyranosyl configurations on BOT-2 cell surfaces.

AbstractThe reactions of 5-azido-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (azidopyrazole) with several classes of organophosphorus reagents: phosphonium ylides, Wittig-Horner reagents, dialkylphosphonates, trialkylphosphites, tris(dialkylamino)phosphanes, triphenylstibane, triphenylarsane, and Lawesson’s reagent are reported. Structural reasoning for the new products was based on compatible analytical and spectral data. The cytotoxic activity of most of the new products was evaluated against human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF7) and human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line(HepG2). Certain tested compounds showed promising results.
