Based on the existing structure activity relationship for proteasome inhibitors, a number of substituted aryl-2-nitrovinyl derivatives have been synthesized as Michael acceptor and their cytotoxicity and proteasome inhibitory effects were evaluated on two cancer cell lines. Compound 2d exhibited IC50 values of 0.71 and 17.79 μM comparable to bortezomib against MCF-7 and PC-3, respectively. The ...

Four known flavonoids: quercetin 3-O-β-D-rutinoside (Q3Rut), myricetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (M3Gal), quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (Q3Gal) and quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (Q3Glc), for the first time were isolated from aerial parts of Euphorbia microsciadia. The chemical structure of them was elucidated on the basis of 1 and 2 D-NMR spectra and different spectroscopic techniques...

the concept of fuzzy soft γ-ring is introduced; and some properties of fuzzy soft γ-rings are given. then the definitions of fuzzy soft γ-ideals are proposed and some of their theories are considered.

a number of n-arylmethyl substituted indole derivatives have been synthesized and their effectiveness against adp and arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation in human plasma was determined. the desired compounds were synthesized by reacting the appropriate aniline derivative with isatin (or substituted isatin) to form the corresponding imine structures. the so formed compound was then act...

Rapid activation of p53 by ionizing irradiation is a classic DNA damage response mediated by the ATM kinase. However, the major signalling target and mechanism that lead to p53 stabilization are unknown. We show in this report that ATM induces p53 accumulation by phosphorylating the ubiquitin E3 ligase MDM2. Multiple ATM target sites near the MDM2 RING domain function in a redundant manner to p...

Laser flash photolysis has been used to determine the second-order rate constants for the reduction of horse heart cytochrome c by the semiquinone and fully reduced forms of various flavin analogs. We find that substitution in the dimethylbenzene ring of the flavin causes appreciable changes in the rate constants, whereas substitutions at the N-10 position do not. Placing a charged phosphate gr...

Ten cytoselective compounds have been identified from 372 thiazolidinone analogues by applying iterative library approaches. These compounds selectively killed both non-small cell lung cancer cell line H460 and its paclitaxel-resistant variant H460 taxR at an IC 50 between 0.21 and 2.93 microM while showing much less toxicity to normal human fibroblasts at concentrations up to 195 microM. Struc...

Diversity oriented syntheses of some furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines and pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines related to folate, guanine, and diaminopyrimidine-containing drugs have been developed for the preparation of potential anti-infective and anticancer compounds. Amide couplings and Suzuki couplings on the basic heterocyclic templates were used, in the latter case yields being especially high using aromatic...

We previously reported a simple and efficient one-pot procedure for synthesis of 1-hydroxymethylene-1,1-bisphosphonic acids (HMBP). According to this method, we synthesized a series of new aromatic HMBP and investigated structure-activity relationships by evaluating their anti-proliferative activity against A431 human tumor cell line. Our results showed that the introduction of an extra methyle...
