Background: Defects in the physiological mechanisms of apoptosis are one of the pivotal factors implicated in carcinogenesis. Thus, the development of novel compounds that target various apoptotic pathways has provided promising anticancer therapeutic opportunities. Objective: This study explores the cytotoxic effects of a novel unsymmetrical azine against specific cancer cell lines and investigates the mechanism of cytotoxicity. Methods: Molecular modeling was used to test the binding affinity of four new unsymmetrical azines to a model of an apoptosis inhibitor protein (XIAP). The compound with the highest binding affinity, C4, was further tested on different cell lines. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to study apoptosis induction biochemically and morphologically. Results: In comparison to cisplatin as a control, the compound C4 exhibited notable cytotoxicity against all tested cancer cell lines, especially the human colorectal carcinoma cell line (HCT-116). Furthermore, C4-treated cells demonstrated marked overexpression of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3 as well as the tumor suppressor p53. On the other hand, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was inhibited. On TEM examination, C4-treated HCT-116 cells showed classical structural signs of apoptosis. Conclusion: This study identifies a novel azine (C4) which induces remarkable cytotoxicity against colorectal carcinoma cell line, mediated through apoptosis induction. These novel insights suggest C4 as a promising therapeutic agent in colorectal cancer.

Herein we report the synthesis of new trans-bis(2-phenylselenylmethyl)oxolane)dichloroplatinum(II) complex Pt1. Newly synthetized complex, together with two, structurally related trans-Pd(II) complexes (trans-bis(2-(phenylselenylmethyl)oxolane)dichloropalladium(II) Pd1 and trans-bis(2-(phenylselenylmethyl)oxane)dichloropalladium(II)) Pd2, were screened for cytotoxic activity through in vitro study on the HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma cell line and on the MRC-5 healthy lung pleura cell line. Activity of complexes was assessed by comparing it to the cisplatin. The cells viability and proliferation were determined using MTT assay.

HCT116 cells are adherent epithelial cells derived from the human colorectal carcinoma cell line commonly used to study inflammatory responses in colonic epithelial cells. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of active anionic H2O8 oxygen solution, which is a very strong antiviral and antimicrobial agent, on HCT-116 human colorectal cancer cell line. Cell viability was determined by MTT analysis. Antiproliferative activity of the anionic H2O8 was investigated on HCT 116 (human colorectal carcinoma) cancer cells. Anionic H2O8 displayed the outstanding activities for MTT test, IC50= 9.44 for 24th hour was calculated as IC50= 11.73 for 48th hour on HCT 116 cell line. It is thought that it can serve as an agent with strong potential to be used in treatment.
