amide/breast neoplasms

The transcription factor C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) is a key component of the terminal unfolded protein response (UPR) that mediates unresolvable endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis. CHOP induction is known to cause cancer cell death. Chemicals that induce CHOP expression would thus

Invasiveness and metastasis are the primary factors indicating poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. To identify a novel lead compound for the development of therapeutics for the treatment of breast cancer through inhibiting invasion, we screened the natural piper amide-like compounds library

A series of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives bearing piperazine amide moiety has been synthesized and investigated for their potential anticancer activities. 1-[4-(5,6-Bis(4-subtituted phenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-[4-(3-substituted phenyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanone derivative (1-32) compounds

A set of 2-galactosylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amides was synthesized with different length for the carbon chain amide moiety. The cytotoxicity of the molecules was evaluated against A375 melanoma and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines. For the derivatives tested, the one that contains a C(16) amide

Amide substituted (Z)-β-enaminones were synthesized by green chemistry and stereo-specific synthetic pathway as novel phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and breast cancer drugs. PI3K inhibition was measured by competitive ELISA. A panel of cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (breast cancer),

Purpose Raloxifene (RA) receptors have over-expressed GPER-positive breast cancer tumors. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the antitumor activity and pharmacokinetic behavior of docetaxel (DTX), loaded in RA-targeted nanomicelles, which were designed to overcome a lack of specific

BACKGROUND To reduce the nonspecifically distribution of chemotherapeutic agents throughout the whole body, which causes severe toxicity in normal tissues, targeting them towards a receptor overexpressed on tumor tissue, is a promising method for cancer therapy. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present

BACKGROUND The purpose of this work was to investigate noninvasive early detection of treatment response of breast cancer patients to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) measurements sensitive to amide proton transfer (APT) at 7 T. METHODS CEST images

The endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide (arachidonoylethanolamide), and the sleep-inducing factor, oleamide (cis-9-octadecenoamide), represent two classes of long-chain fatty acid amides with several neuronal actions and metabolic pathways in common. Here we report that these two compounds are

Objectives: To compare the value of amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions and analyze the correlations between the derived parameters and

OBJECTIVE Endocannabinoids such as anandamide (AEA) are important lipid ligands regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Their levels are regulated by hydrolase enzymes, the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL). Here, we investigated whether FAAH
