New antitumor 6-chloropurine nucleosides inducing apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest.

چکیده
Treating cancer has been challenging for decades, following countless approaches and attempts. Nucleosides, alone or as part of nucleotides, are vital elements of living systems and have shown pharmacological effects, e.g. as antibiotic or antiviral agents. We investigated the antitumor potential on human melanoma, lung and ovarian carcinomas, and on colon adenocarcinoma of a new series of purine nucleosides based on a 6-chloropurine or a 2-acetamido-6-chloropurine scaffold linked to perbenzylated hexosyl (glucosyl, galactosyl and mannosyl) residues. All compounds were tested in a sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay for their cytotoxicity and provided micromolar GI50 values with order of magnitude comparable to structurally similar chemotherapeutics, namely 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (cladribine). Furthermore, the induction of apoptosis was established and cell cycle analysis was accomplished demonstrating a G2/M cell cycle arrest.

Effects of berberine on proliferation, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of human breast cancer T47D and MCF7 cell lines
Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...
متن کاملNovel mechanism of harmaline on inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by up-regulating Fas/FasL in SGC-7901 cells
Harmaline (HAR), a natural occurrence β-carboline alkaloid, was isolated from the seeds of Peganum harmala and exhibited potent antitumor effect. In this study, the anti-gastric tumor effects of HAR were firstly investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results strongly showed that HAR could inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce G2/M cell cycle arrest accompanied by an increase in apoptotic ...
متن کاملBML-275, an AMPK inhibitor, induces DNA damage, G2/M arrest and apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells
Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a principal intracellular energy sensor which regulates energy producing pathways and energy requiring pathways when the cellular AMP/ATP ratio is altered. BML-275 (compound C), a well-known inhibitor of AMPK, has been found to induce apoptosis in myeloma, glioma and prostate cancer cells....

متن کاملGaliellalactone induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through the ATM/ATR pathway in prostate cancer cells
Galiellalactone (GL) is a fungal metabolite that presents antitumor activities on prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo. In this study we show that GL induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, caspase-dependent apoptosis and also affected the microtubule organization and migration ability in DU145 cells. GL did not induce double strand DNA break but activated the ATR and ATM-mediated DNA damage r...
