[ 1 ] - A comparative QSAR analysis, molecular docking and PLIF studies of some N-arylphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues as anticancer agents

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a simple and small anticancer drug that arouses the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) through inhibition of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). DCA can selectively promote mitochondria-regulated apoptosis, depolarizing the hyperpolarized inner mitochondrial membrane potential to normal levels, inhibit tumor growth and reduce proliferati...

[ 3 ] - Synthesis, Molecular Docking and Cytotoxic Activity Evaluation of Organometallic Thiolated Gold(I) Complexes

The complex [(PhCH2NC)AuCl], 1, was prepared by the reaction of [(Me2S)AuCl], A, with an equimolar amount of benzyl isocyanide (PhCH2NC) ligand. Through a salt metathesis reaction, the chloride ligand in 1 was replaced by potassium benzothiazole-2-thiolate (Kbt) and potassium benzoimidazole-2-thiolate (Kbi) to a...
