A novel basic heparin-binding monocyte chemotactic factor (MCF) was purified to homogeneity from the conditioned media of human myelomonocytic cell line THP-1 based on its in vitro monocyte chemotactic activity. The purified MCF was homogenous and estimated to be 15 kD on SDS-PAGE. Purified MCF stimulated normal human monocytes to be growth inhibitory in vitro at 2-3 d for several human tumor cell lines. This represents the first report of the identification and purification of a chemoattractant cytokine that also activates monocytes but is distinct from interferons and other known cytokines.

The synthesis of polysubstituted pyridines, in addition to some derived pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine ring systems supported with chemotherapeutically active functionalities, is described. They were evaluated for theirin vitrocytotoxic effects against three different human tumor cell lines (human colon carcinoma HT29, hepatocellular carcinoma Hep-G2, and Caucasian breast adenocarcinoma MCF7). Nine compounds displayed variable cytotoxic potential, among which alkylthio analogs33,34, and37emerged as the most active members, being almost twice as active as doxorubicin against the colon carcinoma HT29 cell line. In addition, the same three analogs showed a clear differential cytotoxic profile as they exhibited a marginal inhibitory effect on the growth of the normal nontransformed human foreskin fibroblast Hs27 cell line. Meanwhile, nineteen compounds were able to exhibit significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, together with moderate antifungal activities. The pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione30together with its alkylthio derivatives33and34stemmed as the most active antimicrobial members being equipotent to ampicillin againstS. aureus,E. coli,andP. aeruginosa,together with a noticeable antifungal activity againstC. albicans.Compounds33and34could be considered as a promising template for possible dual antimicrobial-anticancer candidates.

A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole-diazphenothiazine hybrids was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity against four selected human tumor cell lines (SNB-19, Caco-2, A549, and MDA-MB231). The majority of the synthesized compounds exhibited significant potent activity against the investigated cell lines. Among them, compounds 1d and 4c showed excellent broad spectrum anticancer activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.25 to 4.66 μM and 0.25 to 6.25 μM, respectively. The most promising compound 1d, possessing low cytotoxicity against normal human fibroblasts NHFF, was used for gene expression analysis using reverse transcription–quantitative real-time PCR (RT–qPCR). The expression of H3, TP53, CDKN1A, BCL-2, and BAX genes revealed that these compounds inhibited the proliferation in all cells (H3) and activated mitochondrial events of apoptosis (BAX/BCL-2).

Chrysin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with mild anticancer activity. In this paper we report the synthesis of new chrysin derivatives alkylated with N-phenylchloroacetamides in position 7. A novel method was developed for the preparation of 7-aminochrysin derivatives via the Smiles rearrangement, resulting in diphenylamine-type compounds. In silico studies of the Smiles rearrangement were performed. We also present the in vitro antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds against 60 human tumor cell lines (NCI60). The most potent derivative exhibited nanomolar antitumor activity on the MCF7 cell line of breast cancer (GI50 = 30 nM) and on the HCT-15 cell line of colon cancer (GI50 = 60 nM).

A simple synthesis of the β -lactams 11 - 13 and 16 - 17 as novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors is described. The key synthetic strategies involved the O-alkylation of 6-APA and the coupling reactions of freshly prepared N-carbobenzyloxy-L-prolines 5 and 6 and 6-aminopenicillanates 8 - 10 and 15 in high yields. It was found that all compounds show potent growth inhibitory activity on human tumor cell lines, the most potent compound 16 exhibiting an IC50 = 2.1 μM in vitro.

Epithelial- and haematopoietic-cell growth-inhibitory activities have been identified in the conditioned medium of the human peripheral neuroepithelioma cell line A673. An A673-cell-derived growth-inhibitory activity was previously fractionated into two distinct components which inhibited the proliferation of human carcinoma and leukaemia cells in culture. One inhibitory activity was shown to comprise interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha). Here, we have purified to homogeneity a distinct activity which inhibited the growth of the epithelial cells in vitro. Using a combination of protein-sequence analysis and mass spectrometry, we demonstrated that biological activity can be assigned to a dimeric protein with a molecular mass of 25,576 (+/- 4) Da and an N-terminal sequence identical with that of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Further characterization of the growth inhibitor with TGF-beta-isoform-specific antibodies showed that > 90% of the bioactivity consists of TGF-beta 1 and not TGF-beta 2 or TGF-beta 3. Although A673 cells were growth-inhibited by exogenous TGF-beta 1, we showed that TGF-beta 1 in A673-cell-conditioned media was present in the latent, biologically inactive, form which did not act as an autocrine growth modulator of A673 cells in vitro.

A series of 1,6-bis(3-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-on-4- yl)hexanes (3a-g) were synthesized by the cyclization reaction of 1,6-bis(1- substituted-semicarbazide-4-yl)hexanes (2a-g) in alkaline medium. New derivatives (3a-c) were screened in vitro for their antiproliferative and anticancer activity in human tumor cell lines derived from breast and lung carcinoma cells. Compounds 3a (in concentration of 0.18 mM), 3b (in concentrations of 0.12 mM and 0.02 mM) and 3c (in concentrations of 0.23 mM and 0.11 mM) were found to be the most effective against lung cell line. The compound (3a) had the most antiproliferative effect on breast carcinoma cell line. Representative compounds were established and evaluated as antimicrobial agents. All tested derivatives showed MIC in range 1.87-7.5 (?g/mL). The compound (3b) was the most effective against C. albicans (MIC 1.87 ?g/mL).

Chemical investigation of a collection of the fungus Neosartorya glabra from Thailand furnished sartoryglabins A-C (1a, 1b and 2) which are analogs of the reverse prenylated indole alkaloids known as (-) ardeemins. Structures of these compounds were established by NMR spectrometry and an X-ray analysis. Sartoryglabins A-C were evaluated for their in vitro growth inhibitory activity on three human tumor cell lines: MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer) and A375-C5 (melanoma). All the compounds exhibited strong to moderate activity against the MCF-7 cell line but weak or no activity against the NCI-H460 and A375-C5 cell lines. Sartoryglabin B was found to exhibit selectivity towards the MCF-7 cell line.

Background: Chemotherapy is one of the mainstays of cancer treatment, despite the serious side effects of the clinically available anticancer drugs. In recent years increasing attention has been directed towards novel agents with improved efficacy and selectivity. Compounds with chalcone backbone have been reported to possess various biological activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, etc. It was reported that aminomethylation of hydroxy chalcones to the corresponding Mannich bases increased their cytotoxicity. In this context, our interest has been focused on the design and synthesis of the so-called multi-target molecules, containing two or more pharmacophore fragments. Methods: A series of Mannich bases were synthesized by the reaction between 6-[3-(3,4,5- trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propenoyl]-2(3Н)-benzoxazolone, formaldehyde, and a secondary amine. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectra. The new Mannich bases were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, including BV-173, SKW-3, K-562, HL-60, HD-MY-Z and MDA-MB-231. The effects of selected compounds on the cellular levels of glutathione (GSH) were determined. Results: The new compounds 4a-e exhibited concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects at micromolar concentrations in MTT-dye reduction assay against a panel of human tumor cell lines, similar to those of starting chalcone 3. The tested agents led to concentration - dependent depletion of cellular GSH levels, whereby the effects of the chalcone prototype 3 and its Mannich base-derivatives were comparable. Conclusion: The highest chemosensitivity to the tested compounds was observed in BV- 173followed by SKW-3 and HL-60 cell lines.
