Although the “war on cancer” is now in its fourth decade and much progress has been made in categorizing the environmental causes and cellular and molecular biological basis for this dreaded disease, we still do not have a precise understanding of the differences between a cancer cell and its normal counterpart. The completion of the human genome sequence and its subsequent improvements in the sequence data are important steps to fully comprehend cancer cell biology. Ag(I) is being used as an anticancer agent in several human cancers. The anticancer activity of these complexes againstEhrlich’s ascitestumor cells (EACs) has been reported. The aim of the present study is to synthesize some new water soluble Ag(I) mixed ligand complexes containing nitrogen and sulfur base and to evaluate their biomedicinal properties. Mixed ligand complexes of Ag(I) metal derived from L-lysine and thiouracil with 2,2′-bipyridyl; 2-aminopyridine with thiouracil have been synthesized. The composition of the prepared complexes was discussed on the basis of microanalysis, FAB-mass, and FT-ir, measurements. Molecular weight was confirmed by FAB-mass spectra. The elemental analysis data suggest the stoichiometry to be M : L : L′ (1 : 1 : 1) ratio. These Ag(I) mixed ligand complexes showed excellent anticancer activity againstEhrlich’s ascitestumor cells (EACs).

Synthesis of two new water-soluble mixed ligand [Pd(bpy)(dahmp)]Cl and [Ag(bpy)(Hdahmp)]NO3 complexes (dahmp and Hdahmp are the deprotonated monoanion and the protonated neutral 4,6-diamino-5-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine, resp.) is reported. The composition of the reported complexes was discussed on the bases of IR, H1 NMR, and mass spectra, as well as conductivity and thermal measurements. The reported complexes display a significant anticancer activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EACs). The higher activity of these complexes with their higher conductivity values corresponds to their complete ionization in aqueous solution.

Abstractvon Willebrand factor (VWF) is a complex multimeric plasma glycoprotein that plays critical roles in normal hemostasis. However, additional novel roles for VWF in modulating cancer cell biology, and in particular tumor metastasis, have recently been reported. Markedly elevated plasma VWF levels were associated with advanced tumor stage and metastatic disease. These observations have raised the question of whether VWF may be involved in regulating tumor progression. Interestingly, novel findings indicate that VWF is expressed by a variety of tumor cells of nonendothelial origin. Critically, tumor cells that exhibit de novo acquired VWF expression demonstrate enhanced binding to endothelial cells (EC) and platelets, and increased extravasation through EC barriers. Furthermore, in vitro studies have shown that VWF can bind a variety of different tumor cells mediated by specific receptors expressed on the tumor cell surface. The concept that VWF is important in modulating tumor metastasis is further supported by in vivo experiments demonstrating that antibody-mediated VWF inhibition significantly attenuated murine metastasis. Intriguingly, however, VWF binding to specific human tumor cell lines results in apoptosis. In this study, the authors provide an overview of recent advances supporting a role for VWF in regulating multiple aspects of cancer cell biology.

Ni(II) mixed-ligand complexes of [NiLNH3] (where L= N-salicylidene-o-aminophenol (L1), N-(5-methoxysalicylidene-o-aminophenol) (L2) and N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalidene)-o-aminophenol) (L3) containing ONO tridentate Schiff bases and ammonia were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, ultraviolet-visible, proton and carbon-13 spectroscopies. Theoretical calculations were also performed on the optimized structures of the Ni(II) mixed-ligand complexes. The Infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectra of the complexes were calculated, and the results compared with the corresponding experimental spectra to augment the experimental structural identification. The elemental analysis data confirmed the formation of 1:1:1 [metal: Schiff base: ammonia] molar ratio. The NMR spectra showed that the Schiff bases coordinated to the Ni(II) ion via the two deprotonated phenolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The biological studies showed that the complexes exhibited higher antibacterial and antioxidant activities than the free Schiff base ligands.

The current situation of Malignant Neoplasm is very different it’s the fourth decade and despite much progress has been made in categorizing the environmental causes and cellular and molecular biological basis for this dreaded disease, Malignant Neoplasm commonly known as (Cancer) till now we did not understand the actual difference between the cancer cell and its normal counterpart. If we did not understand we cannot control, eliminate, treat cancer. The human genome sequence and its subsequent improvements in the sequence data are important steps to fully comprehend cancer cell biology. The current recent advances in the understanding of pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic behaviour of drug have offered a more rational approach to the development of optimal drug delivery system. The novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) are carriers which maintain the drug concentration in therapeutic range for a longer period of time. Nanotechnology, a new, novel focus of research evolved from the convergence and coalescence of many diverse scientific disciplines which includes Nanomedicine will have an impact on the key challenges in cancer therapy: nanotubes, Nanopores, and nanoparticles are the most promising applications for various Malignant Neoplasm treatments.

A new series of water soluble mixed ligand complexes [MII(L)(bpy)AcO].nH2O M = Cu, (n=1) (1); Co (2), Mn (3), Ni (4) (n=4) and Zn (5) (n=2) have been synthesized from 2-(2-Morpholinoethylimino)methyl)phenol Schiff base ligand (HL) and 2,2�-bipyridine in a 1:1:1 molar ratio. The resulting complexes were characterized by spectral techniques. The spectral data of these complexes suggest an octahedral geometry. In vitro antioxidant activity results of DPPH assay, hydroxyl radical, super oxide and nitric oxide for complexes (1-5) were compared with ligand (HL) and in vitro antimicrobial activities of all compounds were examined against selected bacterial and fungal strains which indicate that the complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity than free ligand (HL). Gel electrophoresis results indicated that, complexes (1) and (2) have exhibited more DNA cleavage efficiency than others. The intrinsic binding constant (Kb) values for the complexes (1-5) observed by electronic absorption technique were in the order of (1) ] (4) ] (5) ] (2) ] (3) and DNA binding affinity values for these complexes obtained by viscosity measurements were in the order of ethidium bromide ] (1) ] (2) ] (3) ] (4) ] (5).

The problem of finding effective low-toxic anticancer agents is one of the most important in modern medicine and pharmacy. Despite a large selection of anticancer drugs and a variety of mechanisms of their action, the effectiveness of existing drugs continues to be insufficient. Among the numerous natural and synthetic heterocyclic compounds that exhibit anticancer activity, 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives, which are able to initiate different pathways of tumor cell death. Based on this, the synthesis of new derivatives of this class of compounds and the study of their anticancer properties is relevant. The aim of the work is to synthesis of new 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines and study their anticancer activity. Materials and methods. It was used methods of organic synthesis, physical and chemical methods of analysis organic compounds (1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis). Results. In order to obtain new 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines, the interaction implemented of 4-amino-4H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-thiols with the corresponding bromoacetophenones. The reaction proceeds by heating the above reagents in alcohol with the closure of the thiadiazine ring and the formation of 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine systems. The structure of all synthesized compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. The study of the anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was carried out in the framework of the international scientific program DTP (Developmental Therapeutics Program) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, Maryland, USA). It was found that the synthesized compounds exhibited different levels of anticancer activity. The most active among the tested substances was compound 3j with an average GP value of 28.73. The most sensitive to it were the lines of melanoma MDA-MB-435 and SK-MEL-2, kidney cancer A498 and RXF 393, CNS cancer SNB-75, and non-small cell lung cancer NCI-H522. The secondary stage of studies of this compound confirmed its high anticancer activity against most cancer cell lines. Conclusions. As a result of the interaction of 4-amino-4H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-thiols with the relevant bromoacetophenones, a series of new triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines was not described in the literature was synthesized. Testing the synthesized compounds for the antitumor activity made it possible to isolate 1 highly active compound with a pronounced anticancer effect, which in terms of activity approaches or exceeds the known drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin, as well as an anticancer agent, curcumin.

Amino group modified phthalocyanines (Pcs) and their derivatives have attracted great attention in the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of their satisfied anticancer activity. The existence of N atoms in these Pcs is very important because they not only provide water solubility of Pcs, but also greatly affect their PDT activity. To clear the influence of N atoms number on PDT activity of amino group modified Pcs and their derivatives, in this manuscript, two series of amine modified Pcs with different N atom number and their water soluble derivatives, hydrochloride and quaternizing derivatives were synthesized. Their photochemical and photobiology properties were studied and compared. The results indicated that with increasing the number on N atom, the reactive oxygen species (ROSs) generation ability, cancer cell uptaken ability and photoinduced anticancer activity were all increased in these ZnPcs.
