چکیده
Several lymphoma T cell lines differ in membrane superficial markers and do not respond to the same drugs and compounds. Tilia x viridis (Bayer) Simonk nothosubspecie moltkei (Dippel) Xifreda is a plant widely distributed in Argentina. The aim of this work was to study comparatively the effects of dichloromethane extract and isolated compounds on BW 5147 and on another T lymphoma cell line EL-4, evaluating principally proliferation and viability. On BW 5147 cells, dichloromethane extract exerted antiproliferative action, presented cytostatic effect at low concentrations and cytotoxic action at high concentrations. Monoterpenes exerted antiproliferative action being the most potent limonene; low concentrations of them were cytostatic and high concentrations were cytotoxic. On EL-4 lymphoma, dichloromethane extract and monoterpenes exerted proliferative action, and none of them affected cell viability. It is extremely important to note that depending on tumor cell type the same extract or compounds can elicit different actions.

This study presents the influence of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) on the aqueous solubility of acyl esters of cyproterone. First, a number of esters of cyproterone were synthesized. Then the phase solubility analysis of the compounds in the presence of HPBCD was investigated in phosphate buffer solution at a pH of 7.4. To gain a better understanding of the complexation mechanism, ...

INTRODUCTION These are exciting times. Research in the pharmaceutical sciences, and medicinal chemistry in particular, has undergone considerable change over the past 40 years. As a graduate student in medicinal chemistry, it was inconceivable that we would know as much about drug receptors as we do today. It is mind-boggling to think that in the relatively short span of two decades, the amino ...
متن کاملMultitarget Drug Design, Molecular Docking and PLIF Studies of Novel Tacrine−Coumarin Hybrids for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a complicated and progressive neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia and memory loss. On account of the multifactorial etiology of AD, the multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) approach is a promising method in searching new drug candidates for this disease. Here, in this paper more than 500 tacrine-coumarin hybrids have been designed and drug-l...
