1 4 naphthoquinone/悪性腫瘍

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is one of the most commonly disrupted signaling pathways that plays a role in the development and pathogenicity of multiple cancers. Therefore, the critical proteins of this pathway have been targeted for anticancer therapy. The scientific community has increasingly been

Background: Natural naphthoquinones have shown diversified biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and cytotoxic activities. However, they are also compounds with acute cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity,

The aim of this study was to enhance the understanding of the antitumor mechanism of 1,4-naphthoquinones and ascorbate. Juglone, phenylaminonaphthoquinone-7, and 9 (Q7/Q9) were evaluated for effects on CT-DNA and DNA of cancer cells. Evaluations in MCF-7 cells are DNA damage, ROS levels, viability,

A series of ferrocene and (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes attached to the naturally occurring anticancer naphthoquinones plumbagin and juglone was tested for efficacy against various cancer cell lines and for alterations in the mode of action. The plumbagin ferrocene and (p-cymene)Ru(II) conjugates

1,4‑Naphthoquinone derivatives have superior anticancer effects, but their use has been severely limited in clinical practice due to adverse side effects. To reduce the side effects and extend the anticancer effects of 1,4‑naphthoquinone derivatives, 2‑(butane‑1‑sulfinyl)‑1,4‑naphthoquinone (BQ) and

BACKGROUND Malignacies are still a major public concern worldwide and despite the intensive search of new chemotherapeutic agents, treatment still remains a challenging issue. The present study was designed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of 2-acetyl-7-methoxynaphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-quinone (AMNQ)

OBJECTIVE • To evaluate the cytotoxicity of dimeric naphthoquinones (BiQs) in prostate cancer cells. • To assess the interaction of dimeric naphthoquinones with common therapies including radiation and docetaxel. METHODS • The cytotoxicity of 12 different dimeric naphthoquinones was assessed in

Redox signaling plays a fundamental role in maintaining cell physiological activities. A deregulation of this balance through oxidative stress or nitrosative stress has been implicated in cancer. Here, we reported that 2-methoxy-6-acetyl-7-methyl juglone (MAM), a natural naphthoquinone isolated from

Stereoselective synthesis of 1, one of biologically active naphthoquinones from a Brazilian traditional medicine Tabebuia avellanedae, was achieved by utilizing Noyori reduction as a key step. Compound 1 displayed potent cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines, whereas it showed lower

Two novel compounds, 2-(2-hydroxyethylthio)-5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HEDMNQ) and 2-(6-hydroxyhexylthio)-5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HHDMNQ), were synthesized to investigate the kill effects and mechanism of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives in lung cancer cells. The results of the CCK-8

Rhinacanthus nasutus KURZ. (Acanthaceae) has been used as Thai traditional medicine for the treatment of various cancers. Recently, we reported that rhinacanthins, active components of the plant, had antiproliferative activity against human cancer line cells. In the present study, we investigated

Tumor cells reprogram their cellular metabolism by switching from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis to support aberrant cell proliferation. Suppressing tumor cell metabolism has become an attractive strategy for treating cancer patients. In this study, we identified a

As a part of screening studies for cancer chemopreventive agents (anti-tumor promoters), six natural and four synthetic naphthoquinones and five of their analogs were tested for their inhibitory activities against Epstein-Barr virus early antigen activation induced by

Naphthoquinone pigment-LIII, an extract from Arnebia euchroma, could apparently inhibit the proliferation of stomach cancer cell line and esophagus cancer cell line. At the effective concentration of 5 micrograms/ml, the mitotic index and growth curve declined without showing any damage to human

In an effort to develop potent and selective antitumor agents, a series of 1,4-naphthoquinone oxime derivatives were designed and synthesized. The cytotoxicity of these compounds were evaluated against five human cancer cell lines (colorectal cancer cell: HCT-15, breast cancer cell: MDA-MB-231,
