Curcumin (CUR) is a phytochemical that inhibits the xenobiotic ABC efflux transporters implicated in cancer multidrug resistance (MDR), such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and multidrug resistance-associated proteins 1 and 5 (MRP1 and MRP5). The use of CUR in the

Previous studies from this laboratory demonstrated that 2,6-bis-([3,4-dihydroxyphenyl]methylene)cyclohexanone (BDHPC) and related compounds mimic methyl p-hydroxyphenyllactate (MeHPLA) as endogenous ligands for nuclear type II [H-3]estradiol binding sites. Occupancy of type II sites by these agents

Breast cancer is commonly treated with anti-estrogens or aromatase inhibitors, but resistant disease eventually develops and new therapies for such resistance are of great interest. We have previously isolated several tamoxifen-resistant variant sub-lines of the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and

In order to metastasize, tumor cells need to migrate and invade the surrounding tissues. It is important to identify compound(s) capable of disrupting the metastasis of invasive cancer cells, especially for hindering invadopodia formation, so as to provide anti-metastasis targeted therapy.

Curcumin is a non-nutritive yellow pigment found in the spice turmeric, which is derived from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa Linn. Six cyclohexanone analogues of curcumin (A(1)-A(6)) were investigated for their effects on growth and apoptosis in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. The ability

Many prostate cancer patients develop resistance to treatment called castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) which is the major cause of recurrence and death. In the present study, four cyclohexanone curcumin analogs were synthesized. Additionally, their anticancer progression activity on CRPC

The drug research and development nowadays is focusing on multi-target drugs. In the treatment of cancer, therapies using drugs inhibiting one numerous targets signify a novel viewpoint. In comparison with traditional therapy, multi-targeted drugs directly aim cell subpopulations which are involved

Novel cytotoxins 3-5 containing the 1,5-diaryl-3-oxo-1,4-pentadienyl pharmacophore are disclosed. The compounds in series 3 and 5 have the potential to liberate niacin which may reduce some of the side effects of antineoplastic compounds. 3a-c emerged as the most potent cytotoxic compounds with IC50

BACKGROUND Cancer is a grave health problem for the world as the global cancer burden rises to 14 million new cases with 8.2 million deaths every year which is expected to rise by 70% in the next 2 decades as reported by the WHO.These steady rises in death demand for rapid developments in

Marine compounds are a potential source of new anticancer drugs. In this study, the antiproliferative effects of 20 invertebrate marine extracts on three colon cancer cell models (HGUE-C-1, HT-29, and SW-480) were evaluated. Extracts from two nudibranchs (Phyllidia varicosa, NA and

Two new cyclohexenones (antheminones A and B) and a new cyclohexanone, (antheminone C) along with five known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Anthemis maritima L. The structures were mainly deduced from extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The new compounds were

Curcumin and its chalcone derivatives inhibit the growth of human cancer cells. It is reported that replacement of two OH groups in curcumin with less polar groups like methoxy increases its anti-proliferative activity. In this study, we explored benzylidine cyclohexanone derivatives with non-polar

Curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound that exhibits strong antioxidant and anticancer activities; however, low bioavailability has restricted its application in chemotherapeutic trials. The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effect of the novel curcumin derivative

A new class of substituted thiazole derivatives 6a-c which showed promising anticancer activity was synthesized via the reaction of cyclohexanone with phenylisothiocyanate with a good yield. The latter compounds reacted with benzendiazonium chloride to form corresponding 5-phenylazothiazole

In order to develop novel anti-cancer agents, a series of asymmetrical 2,6-bis (benzylidene)cyclohexanone derivatives containing nitrobenzylidene moiety were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity were determined in vitro against MDA-MB 231, MCF-7 and SK-N-MC cell lines using MTT assay. Among the
