Pingyangmycin is an anticancer drug known as bleomycin A5 (A5), discovered in the Pingyang County of Zhejiang Province of China. Bleomycin (BLM) is a mixture of mainly two compounds (A2 and B2), which is on the World Health Organizations list of essential medicines. Both BLM and A5 are hydrophilic molecules that depend on transporters or endocytosis receptors to get inside of cells. Once inside, the anticancer activities rely on their abilities to produce DNA breaks, thus leading to cell death. Interestingly, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of BLMs in different cancer cell lines varies from nM to μM ranges. Different cellular uptake, DNA repair rate, and/or increased drug detoxification might be some of the reasons; however, the molecules and signaling pathways responsible for these processes are largely unknown. In the current study, we purified the A2 and B2 from the BLM and tested the cytotoxicities and the molecular mechanisms of each individual compound or in combination with six

In last decades, biologically active natural compound (R)-goniothalamin and its derivatives received great attention from researchers. The reason for this interest is the wide range of biological properties of goniothalamin; including anti-microbial, antiprotozoan, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activities. The present study sets out the asymmetric large scale synthesis of α,β- unsaturated lactone derivative (R)-(+)-6-(2-Methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-5,6-dihydro-2Hpyran- 2-one. In recent studies, this linker modified analog of goniothalamin was shown to be cytotoxic against PC-3 (prostate cancer) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer) cell lines with half maximal inhibitory concentration values of 0.13 μM and 2.6 μM, respectively. The preparation of the target compound consists of three steps. First, asymmetric synthesis of homoallylic alcohol using (R)-Tol-BINAP AgF catalyst complex was performed with allyltrimethoysilane. After that, treating the chiral homoallylic alcohol ...

ABSTRACT The present study aims to investigate the cytotoxic effect of the major aflatoxins (B1, B2, G2 and G2) and also aflatoxin combination, using a simple, rapid and cheap cytotoxicity test like MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay in three in vitro models (human umbilical vein endothelial cells [HUVEC], human lung fibroblasts [HFL] and A2780 cell line) and to extrapolate the data to in vivo situation using a prediction model. A difference in cell sensitivity has been observed for B1 and B1 + B2, in the following order A2789 > HFL > HUVEC, while for B2, G1, G2, Mix (B1 + B2 + G1 + G2) the order was HFL > A2789 > HUVEC when comparing the IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) values. We confirm that in vitro cytotoxicity test MTT assay is able to predict in vivo toxicity, at least for aflatoxins using the prediction model. The values of LD50 (lethal dose 50%) calculated from experiments are different for each cell line. This fact may indicate that ...

Cadmium (Cd) is harmful for humans and animals, especially for the reproductive system. However, the mechanism of its toxicity has not been elucidated, and how to alleviate its toxicity is very important. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of action of sulforaphane (SFN) in protecting mouse Leydigs (TM3) cells from cadmium (Cd)-induced damage. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Cd and the safe doses of SFN were determined using a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The testosterone secretion from TM3 cells was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The intracellular oxidative stress was evaluated using corresponding kits. The cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of genes associated with NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling was detected using reverse transcriptionâ »polymerase chain reaction, including Nrf2, heme oxygenase I (HO-1), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), ...

Purpose: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is one of the most highly activated cellular signaling pathways in advanced ovarian cancer. Although several PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors have been developed to treat various types of cancer, the antitumor efficacy of many of these compounds against ovarian cancer has remained unclear.. Methods: Here, we tested and compared a panel of 16 PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors (XL765, Miltefosine, Rapamycin, CCI-779, RAD001, FK506, XL147, GSK2110183, IPI-145, GSK2141795, BYL719, GSK458, CAL-101, XL765 analogue SAR245409, Triciribine, and GDC0941) that have entered clinical trials for antitumor activity against ovarian cancer, as well as the front line drug, paclitaxel. Antitumor efficacy was measured in both ovarian cancer cell lines and patient-derived ovarian primary tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo.. Results: We identified the PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor GSK458 as a potent inhibitor of proliferation in all cell lines tested at half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of ...

A8326 AZD-5438 AZD5438 is a potent small molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 1, 2 and 9 with half maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 of 16 nmol/L, 6 nmol/L and 20 nmol/L respectively. AZD5438 has also been found to potently inhibit the human cyclin E/CDK2 complex, the cyclin B1/CDK1 complex and the cyclin A/CDK2 complex with IC50 of 0.006 μM, 0.016 μM and 0.045 μM respectively. In previous studies, AZD5438 has exhibited significant anti-proliferative activity in a few human tumor cell lines with IC50 ranging from 0.2 μmol/L to 1.7 μmol/L, in which the phosphorylation of a few proteins, including CDK substrates pRb, nucleolin, protein phosphatase 1a and RNA polymerase II COOH-terminal domain, and cell cycling at G2-M, S and G1 phases were inhibited. ...

Curcumin (1) and ten derivatives (2-11) were synthesized and evaluated as cytotoxic and antioxidant agents. The results of primary screening by Sulforhodamine B assay against five human cancer cell lines (U-251 MG, glioblastoma; PC-3, human prostatic; HCT-15, human colorectal; K562, human chronic myelogenous leukemia; and SKLU-1, non-small cell lung cancer) allowed us to calculate the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for the more active compounds against HCT-15 and K562 cell lines. Compounds 2 and 10 were the most active against both cell lines and were more active than curcumin itself. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay showed that 7 has potent activity; even stronger than curcumin, α-tocopherol, and quercetin.

IL-12, a heterodimeric cytokine, consists of two disulfide-linked subunits, p40 and p35. We investigated the role of p40 in ligand binding and signal transduction by expressing this subunit alone in COS cells. Culture media of the transfected COS cells exhibited specific dose-dependent binding to KIT225/K6 cells, a human T cell line that expresses IL-12R. Analysis of the culture media by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting demonstrated the presence of 40-kDa monomers and 80-kDa disulfide-linked homodimers. The two p40 species were purified and identified by N-terminal sequencing and proteolytic peptide mapping. Characterization of the p40 proteins for binding and bioactivity showed that both the p40 monomer and dimer inhibited 125I-labeled IL-12 binding to IL-12R, but the 80-kDa species, having a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 20 to 70 ng/ml, was at least 20-fold more effective than the monomer. Although neither the monomer nor the dimer stimulated human PHA-blast proliferation, the 80-kDa ...

Dengue is a major mosquito-borne disease currently with no effective antiviral or vaccine available. Effort to find antivirals for it has focused on bioflavonoids, a plant-derived polyphenolic compounds with many potential health benefits. In the present study, antiviral activity of four types of bioflavonoid against dengue virus type -2 (DENV-2) in Vero cell was evaluated. Anti-dengue activity of these compounds was determined at different stages of DENV-2 infection and replication cycle. DENV replication was measured by Foci Forming Unit Reduction Assay (FFURA) and quantitative RT-PCR. Selectivity Index value (SI) was determined as the ratio of cytotoxic concentration 50 (CC50) to inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) for each compound. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of quercetin against dengue virus was 35.7 μg mL-1 when it was used after virus adsorption to the cells. The IC50 decreased to 28.9 μg mL-1 when the cells were treated continuously for 5 h before virus infection and up to

Betulinic acid (BA) is a novel antineoplastic agent under evaluation for tumor therapy. Because of the selective cytotoxic effects of BA in tumor cells (including gliomas), the combination of this agent with conservative therapies (such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy) may be useful. Previously, the combination of BA with irradiation under hypoxic conditions had never been studied. In this study, the effects of 3 to 30 μM BA on cytotoxicity, migration, the protein expression of PARP, survivin and HIF-1α, as well as radiosensitivity under normoxic and hypoxic conditions were analyzed in the human malignant glioma cell lines U251MG and U343MG. Cytotoxicity and radiosensitivity were analyzed with clonogenic survival assays, migration was analyzed with Boyden chamber assays (or scratch assays) and protein expression was examined with Western blot analyses. Under normoxic conditions, a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 23 μM was observed in U251MG cells and 24 μM was observed in U343MG

The study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity and α-amylase activity inhibitory potential of Sarotherodon galillaeus muscle protein hydrolysates. Sarotherodon galillaeus muscle protein isolate was hydrolysed with three digestive proteases namely trypsin, chymotrypsin and pepsin. Degree of hydrolysis was determined. The antioxidative potential of the hydrolysates was investigated using DPPH radical scavenging, ferric reducing power, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and metal chelating activity. The ability of the hydrolysates to inhibit the activity of sugar-hydrolysing enzyme was also evaluated. Highest degree of hydrolysis was obtained with pepsin (55.86%) followed by trypsin (47.11%) and chymotrypsin (42.36%) after 6 hrs of hydrolysis. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of hydrolysates produced by trypsin, chymotrypsin and pepsin for DPPH radical scavenging activity were 1.26 ± 0.95, 0.98 ± 0.07 and 1.18 ± 0.34 mg/ml respectively. Trypsin-produced hydrolysates ...

Microalgae are at the start of the food chain, and many are known producers of a significant amount of lipids with essential fatty acids. However, the bioactivity of microalgal lipids for anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic activities have rarely been investigated. Therefore, for a sustainable source of the above bioactive lipids, the present study was undertaken. The total lipids of microalga Chlorococcum sp., isolated from the Irish coast, were fractionated into neutral-, glyco-, and phospho-lipids, and were tested in vitro for their anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic activities. All tested lipid fractions showed strong anti-platelet-activating factor (PAF) and antithrombin activities in human platelets (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging ~25-200 µg of lipid) with the highest activities in glyco- and phospho-lipid fractions. The structural analysis of the bioactive lipid fraction-2 revealed the presence of specific sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerols (SQDG) bioactive ...

Background and purpose: Artemisia is one of the well-known herbal medicinal plants for antimicrobial, insecticidal, antioxidant, and antimalarial activities. The antiproliferative effects of dichloromethane extracts of Artemisia biennis (A. biennis) and A. ciniformis and the petroleum ether extract of A. ciniformis have been demonstrated previously on human cancerous cell lines. In the current study, further fractionation was carried out on the aforementioned extracts and their cytotoxic effects were evaluated on three human cancer cell lines; B16/F10, PC3, and MCF7. F1 to F16, F1 to F11, and F1 to F10 were resulted from the fractionation of dichloromethane extracts of A. biennis, A. ciniformis, and petroleum ether extract of A. ciniformis, respectively. Experimental approach: The cytotoxic effects of 16 (F1-F16), 11 (F1-F11) and 10 (F1-F10) fractions, on B16/F10, PC3, and MCF7 cell lines were assessed using resazurin to measure viability and propidium iodide staining (sub G1) and flow ...

The bioactive lipid intermediate palmitoyl CoA (PCoA) can inhibit mitochondrial ADP/ATP transport, though the physiological relevance of this regulation remains unclear. We questioned whether myocardial ischemia provides a pathological setting in which PCoA regulation of ADP/ATP transport would be beneficial, and secondly, whether the chronically elevated lipid content within the diabetic heart could make mitochondria less sensitive to the effects of PCoA. PCoA acutely decreased ADP-stimulated state 3 respiration and increased the apparent Km for ADP twofold. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) of PCoA in control mitochondria was 22 µM. This inhibitory effect of PCoA on respiration was blunted in diabetic mitochondria, with no significant difference in the Km for ADP in the presence of PCoA, and an increase in the IC50 to 32 µM PCoA. The competitive inhibition by PCoA was localised to the phosphorylation apparatus, particularly the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC). During ischemia, the AAC imports

Artemisinin is the frontline fast-acting anti-malarial against P. falciparum. Emergence and spread of resistant parasite in eastern-India poses a threat to national malaria control programs. Therefore, the objective of our study is to evaluate the artesunate-sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine efficacy in Central India. 180 monoclonal P. falciparum-infected patients received standard ASSP therapy during August 2015-January 2017, soon after diagnosis and monitored over next 42-days. Artemisinin-resistance was assessed through in-vivo parasite clearance half-life (PC1/2), ex-vivo ring-stage survivability (RSA), and genome analysis of kelch13 and other candidate gene (pfcrt, pfmdr1, pfatpase 6, pfdhfr and pfdhps). ...

The Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship of a series of novel Thiazoline derivatives with anticancer activity has been studied by using the density functional theory by B3LYP/ 6-31G. Descriptors of quantum mechanics of 21 thiazoline derivatives with known activity were obtained. Multiple linear regressions were employed to model the relationships between molecular descriptors and biological activity of molecules using stepwise method. The most model shows not only significant statistical quality, but also predictive ability, with the square of adjusted correlation coefficient (R2=0.945) and standard error (SE=0.586). We find that the anticancer activity expressed that as half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), closely relates to the highest occupied molecular orbital, dipole moment, softness, hardness, ionization energy, electron affinity. Accordingly can be offered a quantitative model, and interpret the activity of the compounds relying on the multivariate statistical analysis. This

Masitinib is a selective, oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor with neuroprotective capability demonstrated via numerous preclinical studies. Two of masitinibs main cellular targets are the mast cell and microglia cell. It is well-established that mast cells play a prominent role in neuroinflammatory processes. Microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), also constitute an important source of neuroinflammatory mediators and may have fundamental roles in numerous neurodegenerative disorders. The development of masitinib in ALS is therefore based on the pharmacological action of masitinib in microglia cells and mast cells, thereby slowing microglial-related disease progression, reducing neuro-inflammation, and modulating the neuronal microenvironment in both central and peripheral nervous systems. This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group (two ascending dose titrations of masitinib and matching placebo), comparative study of oral ...

Anticancer bisdioxopiperazines, including ICRF-154, razoxane (Raz, ICRF-159) and ICRF-193, are a family of anticancer agents developed in the UK, especially targeting metastases of neoplasms. Two other bisdioxopiperazine derivatives, probimane (Pro) and MST-16, were synthesized at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China. Cytotoxic activities and mechanisms of Raz (+)-steroisomer (ICRF-187, dexrazoxane), Pro and MST-16 against tumor cells were evaluated by MTT colorimetry, flow cytometry and karyotyping. Pro was cytotoxic to human tumor cell lines in vitro (IC50|50 μM for 48 h). Four human tumor cell lines (SCG-7901, K562, A549 and HL60) were susceptible to Pro at low inhibitory concentrations (IC50 values | 10 μM for 48 h). Although the IC50 against HeLa cell line of vincristine (VCR, 4.56 μM), doxorubicin (Dox, 1.12 μM) and 5-fluoruouracil (5-Fu, 0.232 μM) are lower than Pro (5.12 μM), ICRF-187 (129 μM) and MST-16 (26.4 μM), VCR, Dox and 5-Fu shows

Class I PI3Ks can form an allosteric or specificity pocket (adjacent to the adenine pocket) only in the presence of propeller-like inhibitors (29). The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) for the propeller-like PI3K inhibitors (e.g., PIK-39) (fig. S9) are generally much worse for Vps34 than other PI3Ks. This is probably due to increased rigidity of the Vps34 pocket arising from a bulky residue substituted in the P loop (Phe612-Hs, Phe673-Dm) that packs against the aromatic hinge residue unique to Vps34 (Phe684-Hs, Tyr746-Dm). These differences effectively close off a corner of the adenine-binding pocket, giving it a more constrained appearance.. Currently there is no high-affinity, specific inhibitor of Vps34. We determined the structure of a complex of Vps34 with 3-methyladenine (3-MA) (Fig. 4, B and C), which is often used as a specific inhibitor of autophagy. We also determined the structures of Vps34 in complexes with three multi-targeted inhibitors: (i) PIK-90, (ii) PIK-93, ...

Scorpion venom-derived peptidyl toxins are valuable pharmacological tools for investigating the structure-function relationship of ion channels. Here, we report the purification, sequencing and functional characterization of a new K(+) channel blocker (MeuKTX) from the venom of the scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus. Effects of MeuKTX on ten cloned potassium channels in Xenopus oocytes were evaluated using two-electrode voltage-clamp recordings. MeuKTX is the orthologue of BmKTX (α-KTx3.6), a known Kv1.3 blocker from the scorpion Mesobuthus martensii, and classified as α-KTx3.13. MeuKTX potently blocks rKv1.1, rKv1.2 and hKv1.3 channels with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 203.15 ± 4.06 pM, 8.92 ± 2.3 nM and 171 ± 8.56 pM, respectively, but does not affect rKv1.4, rKv1.5, hKv3.1, rKv4.3, and hERG channels even at 2 μM concentration. At this high concentration, MeuKTX is also active on rKv1.6 and Shaker IR. Our results also demonstrate that MeuKTX and BmKTX have the same channel spectrum ...

Oxidative damage to the vascular endothelium may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and aging, and may account in part for reduced vascular prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis associated with both conditions. Using H2O2 to induce injury, we investigated the effects of oxidative damage on PGI2 synthesis in cultured endothelial cells (EC). Preincubation of EC with H2O2 produced a dose-dependent inhibition (inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 35 microM) of PGI2 formation from arachidonate. The maximum dose-related effect occurred within 1 min after exposure although appreciable H2O2 remained after 30 min (30% of original). In addition, H2O2 produced both a time- and dose-dependent injury leading to cell disruption, lactate dehydrogenase release, and 51Cr release from prelabeled cells. However, in dramatic contrast to H2O2 effects on PGI2 synthesis, loss of cellular integrity required doses in excess of 0.5 mM and incubation times in excess of 1 h. The superoxide-generating ...

immune Uncategorized Col4a2, Masitinib ( AB1010) interactions where the biological aftereffect of an publicity depends upon an individuals genotype are widely held to become ubiquitous-and rightly thus considering epidemiologists have got long abandoned the paradigm of ascribing disease to either character or nurture (if indeed they ever considered etiology in unifactoral conditions) and today seek to comprehend the joint actions of both character and nurture. gene-environment connections in individual observational research stands in sharpened contrast towards the wide-spread proof for gene-environment relationship from experimental research in model microorganisms (2). This discrepancy is certainly a puzzle. Masitinib ( AB1010) Will there be something fundamentally different about the biology of individual complicated attributes? Are there limitations to how gene-environment interactions have been analyzed in humans? Or both? Stenzel et al. (3) discuss two important methodological ...

To discover leads for next-generation chemoprotective antimalarial drugs, we tested more than 500,000 compounds for their ability to inhibit liver-stage development of luciferase-expressing Plasmodium spp. parasites (681 compounds showed a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of less than 1 micromolar). Cluster analysis identified potent and previously unreported scaffold families as well as other series previously associated with chemoprophylaxis. Further testing through multiple phenotypic assays that predict stage-specific and multispecies antimalarial activity distinguished compound classes that are likely to provide symptomatic relief by reducing asexual blood-stage parasitemia from those which are likely to only prevent malaria. Target identification by using functional assays, in vitro evolution, or metabolic profiling revealed 58 mitochondrial inhibitors but also many chemotypes possibly with previously unidentified mechanisms of action.

N2 - A series of 3,5-bis(arylidene)-4-piperidones 1 and related N-acryloyl analogues 2 were prepared as candidate cytotoxic agents with a view to discerning those structural features which contributed to bioactivity. A number of the compounds were markedly cytotoxic toward murine P388 and L1210 leukemic cells and also to human Molt 4/C8 and CEM neoplasms. Approximately 40% of the IC50 values generated were lower than the figures obtained for melphalan. In virtually all cases, the N-acyl compounds ...

A new study reviews the potential for curcumin and nanosystems to treat COVID-19. Curcumin has been characterized and studied thoroughly, as a natural molecule with medicinal properties. Its tolerability and safety have been well documented, with a maximum dose of 12 g/day. Curcumin inhibits viral enzymes due to its ability to inhibit the virus itself, as well as to modulate inflammatory pathways. It regulates viral transcription and regulation, binds with high potency to the viral main protease (Mpro) enzyme that is key to replication, and inhibits viral attachment and entry into the host cell. It may also disrupt viral structures. It has been reported to inhibit the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) more effectively than other natural products, including quercetin, or drugs like chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. It also inhibits papain-like protease (PLpro) with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 5.7 µM that surpasses quercetin and other natural products. Modeling studies have shown that ...

As expected, the soluble CD4 positive control inhibited CXCR4 (50% inhibitory concentration [IC(50)] 3.7 μg/ml) and CCR5 (IC(50) 0.03 μg/ml) tropic HIV-1 infectivity. Free melittin doses ,2 μM were not cytotoxic and were highly effective in reducing HIV-1 infectivity for both CXCR4 and CCR5 strains in TZM-bl reporter cells, while VK2 vaginal cell viability was adversely affected at all free melittin doses tested. However, VK2 cell viability was not affected at any dose of melittin-loaded nanoparticles. Melittin nanoparticles safely and significantly decreased CXCR4 (IC(50) 2.4 μM and IC(90) 6.9 μM) and CCR5 (IC(50) 3.6 μM and IC(90) 11.4 μM) strain infectivity of TZM-bl reporter cells. Furthermore, melittin nanoparticles captured more HIV-1 than blank nanoparticles.. ...

Pharmaceuticals 2016, 9, 78 19 of 33 aptamers, exhibited cross-protection against infections of H1N1, H5N1, H7N7, and H7N9 influenza viruses, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) around 10 nM. The association of the viral polymerase, bound to the cap, and eIF4GI may be involved in the preferential translation of viral mRNAs during influenza infection. In addition, the interaction of NS1, bound to a conserved 5untranslated region (UTR) element of the viral mRNA, with eIF4GI and PABP1 could promote the formation of a closed loop between the 5′ and 3′ ends of the viral mRNA; (4) RIG-I is a cytosolic receptor for non-self RNA that mediates immune responses against viral infections through IFNα/β production. Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling (MAVS) protein. Table 6 shows information on the aptamers described against influenza virus. Vaccination is a powerful approach to diminish the effects of influenza epidemics, but the use of antiviral drugs can also be very useful, particularly in ...

The selective activity of genes is affected by displacements (morpho-genetic movements) of cells, their spatial location. They are provided by the ability of cells to actively move and adhere (selective formation of contacts with each other, in which glycocalyx plays an important role). Neighboring cells exert physical, chemical, and other influences on the cells that migrated and came into contact with them, selectively activating and inactivating the genes of their nuclei. Morphogenetic movement of cells is one of the mechanisms of selective activation of genes ...
