Hematoporphyrin Ix

Two paramagnetic PdIII complexes of hematoporphyrin IX ((7,12-bis(1-hydroxyethyl)-3,8,13,17-tetramethyl-21H-23H-porphyn-2,18-dipropionic acid), Hp), namely a dinuclear one [PdIII2(Hp-3H)Cl3(H2O)5]·2PdCl2, Pd1 and a mononuclear metalloporphyrin type [PdIII(Hp-2H)Cl(H2O)]·H2O, Pd2 have been synthesized reproducibly and isolated as neutral compounds at different reaction conditions. Their structure and solution stability have been assayed by UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy. The compounds researched have shown in vitro cell growth inhibitory effects at micromolar concentration against a panel of human tumor cell lines. A DNA fragmentation test in the HL-60 cell line has indicated that Pd1 causes comparable proapoptotic effects with regard to cisplatin but at substantially higher concentrations. Pd1 and cisplatin form intra-strand guanine bis-adducts as the palladium complex is less capable of forming DNA adducts. This demonstrates its cisplatin-dissimilar pharmacological profile. The test for efficient removal of DNA-adducts by the NER synthesis after modification of pBS plasmids with either cisplatin or Pd1 has manifested that the lesions induced by cisplatin are far better recognized and repaired compared those of Pd1. The study on the recognition and binding of the HMGB-1 protein to cisplatin or Pd1 modified DNA probes have shown that HMG proteins are less involved in the palladium agent cytotoxicity.

Growth Inhibitory

Marine sponges of the Irciniidae family contain both bioactive furanosesterterpene tetronic acids (FTAs) and prenylated hydroquinones (PHQs). Both classes of compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties and known to display growth inhibitory effects against various human tumor cell lines. However, the different experimental conditions of the reportedin vitrobioassays, carried out on different cancer cell lines within separate studies, prevent realistic actual discrimination between the two classes of compounds from being carried out in terms of growth inhibitory effects. In the present work, a chemical investigation of irciniid sponges from Tunisian coasts led to the purification of three known FTAs and three known PHQs. Thein vitrogrowth inhibitory properties of the six purified compounds have been evaluated in the same experiment in a panel of five human and one murine cancer cell lines displaying various levels of sensitivity to proapoptotic stimuli. Surprisingly, FTAs and PHQs elicited distinct profiles of growth inhibitory-responses, differing by one to two orders of magnitude in favor of the PHQs in all cell lines. The obtained comparative results are discussed in the light of a better selection of drug candidates from natural sources.

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.

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.

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.

Further confirmation is provided to support the identity of the product formed by the in vitro eaction of isoniazid (INH) with cytosine as 4-deamino-4-isoniazidocytosine (INH-cytosine). Use of INH-treated mice, in which the tissue DNA is prelabelled by the neonatal administration of [3H]-deoxycytidine, has revealed the presence of two other DNA products in addition to INHytosine. Tissue differences in the persistence of these three DNA products suggest the presence of repair eactions for certain adducts. These processes and the effects of hepatotoxicity lead to a selective etention of adducts in the DNA of lung which is the target tissue for INH-carcinogenicity in mice. INH-modified DNA templates are weakly promutagenic during in vitro DNA synthesis. The implications of these observations for the role of INH as an initiating agent and for the pecies differences in its carcinogenicity are discussed.

The Relationship

The in vitro human tumor cloning assay originally described by Salmon and Hamburger has been applied recently to the investigation of differential anti-tumor drug sensitivities over a broad range of human neoplasms. A major problem in the acceptance of this technique has been the question of the relationship between the cultured cells and the original patient tumor, i.e., whether the colonies that develop derive from the neoplasm or from some other cell type within the initial cell population. A study of the ultrastructural morphology of the cultured cells vs. patient tumor has therefore been undertaken to resolve this question. Direct correlation was assured by division of a common tumor mass at surgical resection, one biopsy being fixed for TEM studies, the second being rapidly transported to the laboratory for culture.

The paper presents the results of the research on the antitumor activity of a new drug - atomic clusters of silver (ACS), the colloidal solution of nanostructured silver bisilicate Ag6Si2O7 with particles size of 1-2 nm in deionized water. In vitro studies to evaluate the effect of various ACS concentrations in human tumor cells cultures (breast cancer, colon carcinoma and prostate cancer) were conducted. The highest antitumor activity of ACS was observed in dilutions from 2.7 mg/l to 5.1 mg/l, resulting in the death of tumor cells in all studied cell cultures. In vivo experiments on transplanted Ehrlich carcinoma model in mice consuming 0.75 mg/kg ACS with drinking water revealed significant inhibition of tumor growth since the 14th day of experiment (maximally by 52% on the 28th day, p < 0.05) in comparison with control. Subcutaneous injections of 2.5 mg/kg ACS inhibited Ehrlich's tumor growth on the 7th and 10th days of the experiment (p < 0.05) as compared to control.

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.

Background: Natural plant metabolites and their semisynthetic derivatives have been used for years in cancer therapy. Xanthones are oxygenated heterocyclic compounds produced as secondary metabolites by higher plants, fungi or lichens. Xanthone core may serve as a template in the synthesis of many derivatives that have broad biological activities. Objective: This study synthesized a series of 17 new xanthones, and their anticancer potential was also evaluated. Methods: The anticancer potential was evaluated in vitro using a highly invasive T24 cancer cell line. Direct cytotoxic effects of the xanthones were established by IC50 estimation based on XTT assay. Results: 5 compounds of the total 17 showed significant cytotoxicity toward the studied cancer cultures and were submitted to further detailed analysis, including studies examining their influence on gelatinase A and B expression, as well as on the cancer cells migration and adhesion to an extracellular matrix. These analyses were carried out on five human tumor cell lines: A2780 (ovarian cancer), A549 (lung cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer), Hep G2 (liver cancer), and T24 (urinary bladder cancer). All the compounds, especially 4, showed promising anticancer activity: they exhibited significant cytotoxicity towards all the evaluated cell lines, including MCF-7 breast cancer, and hindered migration-motility activity of cancer cells demonstrating more potent activity than α-mangostin which served as a reference xanthone. Conclusion: These results suggest that our xanthone derivatives may be further analyzed in order to include them in cancer treatment protocols.
