Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic member of Bcl-2 family proteins. The development of inhibitors of Mcl-1 has been challenging. To develop metal-based Mcl-1inhibitors, twenty two copper(II) complexes 25-46 with 9-substituted β-carboline derivatives were reported. Complexes 38 and 39 showed higher
The prevalence of chronic alcoholism in patients with carcinomas of the upper digestive tract exceeds 60%. The patient's history and laboratory markers, preoperatively, are often not sensitive or specific enough to detect alcohol-dependent patients, preoperatively, who are at risk of developing
Cancer, an uncontrolled and rapid proliferation of abnormal cells, has become one of the leading cause of death worldwide. The development of resistance among the numerous drugs in clinical use has provided strong impetus for the identification and development of novel cancer therapeutics.
A harmine-derived beta-carboline, CM16, inhibits cancer cells growth through its effects on protein synthesis, as described in "A harmine-derived beta-carboline displays anti-cancer effects in vitro by targeting protein synthesis" (Carvalho et al., 2017)[1]. This data article provides accompanying
Sixteen novel N-(3-carboxyl-9-benzyl-beta-carboline-1-yl)ethylamino acids (6a-p) were synthesized as intercalating lead compounds. In the in vitro cytotoxic assay their IC(50) values against five human carcinoma cell lines ranged from 10.95 microM to about 400 microM. On S180 mouse model eight of
A new series of β-Carboline/Schiff bases was designed, synthesized, characterised and biologically evaluated as inhibitors of PLK-1. The synthesized compounds exhibited strong to moderate cytotoxic activities against NCI-60 panel cell assay. Compound SB-2 was the most potent, particularly against
Targeting tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial in order to overcome the anti-cancer therapy resistance. In this study, we report the antitumor activity of a newly synthesized β-carboline derivative "B-9-3." Here, this small molecule showed a promising antitumor activity in vivo along with an
Cichorium endivia. L, consumed either cooked or eaten raw in salads, is a popular kind of vegetable cultivated all around the World. Its components have been widely used in folk medicine in anti-inflammatory therapy. However, the anti-cancer activity of the components has never been reported. In
OBJECTIVE
There is an unmet clinical need to develop new anticancer and chemopreventive agents. The aim of the present study was to identify β-carboline derivatives with cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic potential.
METHODS
Forty-eight tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives were synthesized and
β-Carboline alkaloids are naturally occurring plant substances that have a wide spectrum of neuropharmacological, psychopharmacological, and antitumor effects. Recently, we have demonstrated that harmol, a β-carboline alkaloid, induces apoptosis by caspase-8 activation independently from Fas/Fas
Background: In the discovery of DNA intercalators, β-carbolines compose one member of the most interesting alkaloid family and are of clinical importance. In the efforts, N-(3-benzyloxycarbonyl-β-carboline-1-yl)ethyl-Ser-Ala-OBzl (BCESA) was designed as a nano-scaled DNA intercalator without
The tropical shrub, Rauwolfia vomitoria, is a medicinal plant used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments. A bioactive beta-carboline alkaloid, alstonine, present in this extract was previously shown to have anti-cancer activity against cancer cell lines. This study considers the potential
A series of novel β-carboline-based hydroxamate derivatives 12a-k were designed and synthesized, and their biological activities in a series of in vitro assays were evaluated. Several of these β-carboline derivatives not only showed excellent HDAC1/3/6 inhibitory effects, but also displayed
A series of β-carbolines possessing the aryl group at C-1 position has been synthesized from tryptophan. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against various human cancer cell lines by MTT assay. Some of them exhibited anticancer activity with IC50
The synthesis and in vitro anticancer activity of novel β-carbolines is reported. New tryptamines have been prepared via hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of nitrosoalkenes with indoles and used to prepare functionalized β-carbolines by the Pictet-Spengler approach. These included
