Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this investigation was to explore the cytotoxic structure-activity relationships of gamma-substituted gamma-aryloxymethyl-alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones against cancer cells. METHODS The target compounds were synthesized in two steps commencing with aryl-OH

Pharmacokinetics of gamma-hydroxybutylic acid (GHB) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), the anti-angiogenic metabolites of oral fluoropyrimidine UFT, in patients with gastric cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Gamma-hydroxybutylic acid (GHB) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), the metabolites of UFT, which is an oral fluoropyrimidine, have been reported to inhibit angiogenesis with IC50 values of 25.8 ng/ml. The pharmacokinetics of GHB and GBL were examined after the administration of UFT in patients with

1-Toluene-sulfonyl-3-[(3'-hydroxy-5'-substituted)-gamma-butyrolactone]-indoles: synthesis, COX-2 inhibition and anti-cancer activities.

Only registered users can translate articles

Indoles carrying a cyclic ester (gamma-butyrolactone) at C-3 position have been synthesized by the allylation of 3-indoleglyoxylate followed by iodocyclisation and the nucleophilic replacement of the iodo-group. Screening of these molecules for COX-2 inhibition and anti-cancer activities has

Inhibition of ICAM-1 gene expression, monocyte adhesion and cancer cell invasion by targeting IKK complex: molecular and functional study of novel alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone derivatives.

Only registered users can translate articles

The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a regulator related to cellular inflammation, immune responses and carcinogenesis. Therefore, components of the NF-kappaB-activating singnaling pathways are frequent targets for the anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. In this study,

Antitumor effects of butyrolactone I, a selective cdc2 kinase inhibitor, on human lung cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Butyrolactone I, which is a naturally occurring specific inhibitor of the cdc2 kinase family, showed antitumor effects on several non-small- and small-cell-lung cancer cell lines with IC50 values the order of 50 micrograms/ml on the former. No cross-resistance of several drug-resistant cell lines,

Inhibition of X-ray and doxorubicin-induced apoptosis by butyrolactone I, a CDK-specific inhibitor, in human tumor cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cell-cycle progression is coordinately regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). The inhibition of CDKs by p21Waf1/Cip1/Sdi1 prevents the apoptosis of cells treated with DNA-damaging agents. In this study, we found that butyrolactone I, a specific inhibitor of CDC2 family kinases, blocks the

Naphthalene-fused (α-alkoxycarbonyl)methylene-γ-butyrolactones: antiproliferative activity and binding to bovine serum albumin and DNA.

Only registered users can translate articles

A naphthalene-fused (α-alkoxycarbonyl)methylene-γ-butyrolactone (methyl 2-[7-hydroxy-2-oxonaphtho[1,2-b]furan-3(2H)-yliden]acetate) has been prepared as a representative compound of a potential class of cytotoxic agents. In vitro cytotoxicity has been evaluated against HCT-15 colon and MCF-7 breast

Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of g-Butyrolactone (CAS No. 96-48-0) in F344/N Rats and B6C3F1 Mice (Gavage Studies).

Only registered users can translate articles

g-Butyrolactone is an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers used as film formers in hair sprays, blood plasma extenders, and clarifying agents in beer and wine. Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering g-butyrolactone (greater than 97% pure) in corn oil by gavage to

Isolation and identification of phase I metabolites of butyrolactone I in rats.

1. Butyrolactone I (BL-I), one of the major secondary metabolites of fungus Aspergillus terreus, is a selective cdc2 kinase inhibitor. In the present study, the metabolism of BL-I in male Wistar rats was investigated by characterizing metabolites excreted into feces. 2. Following an oral dose of 40

Studies on mutagenic constituents of apple brandy and various alcoholic beverages collected in western France, a high incidence area for oesophageal cancer.

Apple brandies, alcoholic spirits produced in the west of France, as well as other types of alcoholic beverage (rums, whiskies, armagnacs, cognacs) were tested for mutagenicity on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 in the plate-incorporation assay in the presence or the absence of rat-liver S9.

Aspernolide F, as a new cardioprotective butyrolactone against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Endophytic fungi have known as a promising source of secondary metabolites. γ-Butyrolactones are a class of metabolites reported from Aspergillus genus, which attracted much attention for their bioactivities. This study aimed to assess the potential cardioprotective effects of aspernolide F (AF)

Cinnamomulactone, a new butyrolactone from the twigs of Cinnamomum cassia and its inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cinnamomum cassia (Lauraceae) has long been used as one of the most frequently used traditional oriental medicines for the treatment of gastritis, diabetes, blood circulation disturbance and inflammatory diseases. Cinnamomulactone (1), a new butyrolactone was isolated from the twigs of C. cassia

1. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f) Nees, commonly known as 'king of bitters', is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Family Acanthaceae. It has been widely used for centuries in Asian countries like China, India, Thailand and Malaysia for the treatment of sore throat, flu and upper respiratory

Synthesis of 2,3-di- and 2,2,3-trisubstituted-3-methoxycarbonyl-γ-butyrolactones as potent antitumor agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Various 2,3-substituted γ-butyrolactones have been synthesized by three-component reaction of aryl bromides, dimethyl itaconate and carbonyl compounds. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of these products was evaluated against a representative panel of cancer cell lines (KB, HCT116, MCF7, MCF7R, PC3,
