Background:: Indoles probably represent one of the most important heterocyclic structures that have been attracting the interest of many scientists in drug discovery. Methods:: Pd-catalyst Sonogashira coupling reactions, MTT Assay, Antioxidant capacity test, Antimicrobial test, GST enzyme activity test. Results and Discussion:: 1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-(phenylethynyl)-1H-indole had antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It displayed significant induction in glutathione S-transferases (GST) enzyme activity in human liver cancer cell lines (HepG2), but cytotoxic effect on all tested cancer cell lines could not be observed. Conclusion:: All of these results showed that 1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-(phenylethynyl)-1H-indole had antioxidant and antimicrobial properties without cytotoxic effect, which could make it a promising active component.

Abstract Purpose of review This article provides a brief overview of natural phytoprotective products of allium with a special focus on the therapeutic potential of diallyl polysulfanes from garlic, their molecular targets and their fate in the living organisms. A comprehensive overview of antimicrobial and anticancer properties of published literature is presented for the reader to understand the effective concentrations of polysulfanes and their sensitivity towards different human pathogenic microbes, fungi, and cancer cell lines. Recent findings The article finds polysulfanes potentials as new generation novel antibiotics and chemo preventive agent. The effective dose rates of polysulfanes for antimicrobial properties are in the range of 0.5–40 mg/L and for anticancer 20–100 μM. The molecular targets for these redox modulators are mainly cellular thiols as well as inhibition and/or activation of certain cellular proteins in cancer cell lines. Summary Antimicrobial and anticancer activities of polysulfanes published in the literature indicate that with further development, they could be promising candidates for cancer prevention due to their selectivity towards abnormal cells.

Purpose: To assess cytotoxic effect of ciprofloxacin conjugates with fatty acids on prostate cancer cells (LNCaP and DU-145) with different hormone sensitivity, based on previous promising results from the PC3 cells. Methods: Cytotoxicity were estimated using MTT and LDH tests, whereas its mechanisms were estimated by apoptosis and IL-6 assays. The intensity of proteins involved in lipid metabolism was determined using ML-CS assay. Results: The hormone insensitive DU-145 cells were more vulnerable than the hormone sensitive LNCaP cells. The IC50 values for oleic (4), elaidic (5) and docosahexaenoic acid (8) conjugates were 20.2 µM, 17.8 µM and 16.5 µM, respectively, in DU-145 cells, whereas in LNCaP cells IC50 exceeded 20 µM. The strong conjugate cytotoxicity was confirmed in the LDH test, the highest (70.8%) for compound (5) and 64.2% for compound (8) in DU-145 cells. This effect was weaker for LNCaP cells (around 60%). The cytotoxic effect of unconjugated ciprofloxacin and fatty acids was weaker. The early apoptosis was predominant in LNCaP while in DU-145 cells both early and late apoptosis was induced. The tested conjugates decreased IL-6 release in both cancer cell lines by almost 50%. Proteomic analysis indicated influence of the ciprofloxacin conjugates on lipid metabolic proteins in prostatic cancer. Conclusion: Our findings suggested the cytotoxic potential of ciprofloxacin conjugates with reduction in proteins involved in prostate cancer progress.

Background: The fruit rinds of Garcinia pedunculata has potential medicinal properties and used in many chronic ailments. It has been demonstrated that cytoprotective effects in various experimental research works. But its cytotoxic effect has not been evaluated. The present study was aimed to screen its relative cytotoxic effect on normal and cancer cell lines.Methods: In the present study, the cytotoxic effect of hydro alcoholic extract of Garcinia pedunculata was evaluated on normal human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) and M.D. Anderson metastatic breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB 231) using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.Results: Higher dose level of hydro alcoholic extract of Garcinia pedunculata (HAGP) (500 μg/ml) has shown considerable increase (112.503) in the percentage viability of HEK-29 whereas; there is a remarkable decrease in the viable cell population (77.490) in MDA-MB 231.Conclusions: Based on the observed results we could conclude that HAGP has potential cytotoxic effect on the cancer cell line without altering the normal cell growth and proliferation. Thus it has potential to develop as a safer chemotherapeutic agent. Further detailed exploration is required to confirm its therapeutic efficacy in different cancer cell lines.

Prostaglandins may inhibit or promote tumor cell replication, depending on the cell system that is investigated. In our laboratory, we have established and characterized four different specific human cancer cell lines. The objectives of this study were to examine and compare the prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PG synthase, EC 1.14.99.1) activity of these cell lines by measuring the conversion of arachidonate to 3H-PGE2 and 3H-PGF2α. We found that the oral epidermal carcinoma cell line (OEC-M1) had a moderate degree of PG synthase activity. Enzyme activity could be partially blocked (statistically significant) by the addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) at 20 ng/mL and almost completely inhibited by platelet-derived growth factor at (PDGF) 20 mU/mL. By contrast, we discovered that the human breast adenocarcinama cell line (BC-M1) did not contain significant PG synthase, and enzyme activity could be significantly activated by the addition of epidermal growth factor at 20 ng/mL and platelet-derived growth factor at 20 mU/mL. We also found that the human stomach adenocarcinoma cell line (SCM-1) had a significant amount of PG synthase activity, and these PG synthase activities were not activated or inhibited by EGF at 20 ng/mL or PDGF at 20 mU/mL. Furthermore, the human fibrosarcoma (FS-Ml) cell line also contained a moderate degree of PG synthase activity, which could be significantly inhibited by PDGF at 20 mU/mL but was not inhibited by EGF at 20 ng/mL. The results suggest that EGF and PDGF may be involved in the regulation of the PG synthase activities of human oral, breast, stomach, and fibrosarcoma cancer cells.
