a new series of anti-cancer agents based on 1,2-diaryl-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline scaffold containing n,n-diethylamino ethoxy, piperidinyl ethoxy or morpholinyl ethoxy group at the para position of the c-2 phenyl ring were synthesized and their cytotoxic activities were assessed against several human cancer cell lines including mcf-7 (er positive breast cancer cell), mda-mb231 (er-ne...

A new series of anti-cancer agents based on 1,2-diaryl-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline scaffold containing N,N-diethylamino‌ethoxy, piperidinyl‌ethoxy or morpholinyl‌ethoxy group at the para position of the C-2 phenyl ring were synthesized and their cytotoxic activities were assessed against several human cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (ER positive breast cancer cell), MDA-MB231 (ER-ne...

Background and purpose: Cancer is one of the major health challenges in the world. The efficacy of current treatments is low but their side effects are high. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a new modality for cancer treatment. This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity effect of CAP on the cell line models of common cancers and normal cells. Materials and methods: In this experimental study...

Background: Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy and the leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. The human epidermal growth factor receptor2 (HER2) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor that is usually overexpressed in human breast cancers. Stable cell lines heterogeneously overexpressing HER2 are highly required as in vitro models for breast cancer research. T...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of methanolic extract of achillea millefolium l. (mea) on the antiproliferative activity of bleomycin on human prostate cancer and normal skin cells. materials and methods: human prostate cancer cell (du-145) and human non-malignant fibroblast cell (hfff2) were treated with mea at various concentrations ( 20, 100, 500, 1000 and 200...

Abstract: Introduction: Cancer, a fatal disease, is the second leading cause of death reason exceeded only by cardiovascular disease. Breast cancer is common well known cancers in woman and is the second leading cause of death after lung cancer. In recent years researchers have focused on diet based on herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of certain types of cancer. Methods: In th...

abstract gastric cancer is one of the most common and most fatal neoplasms in human. its skeletal metastasis is less frequent, particularly when solitary. the objective of this article is to represent a case of solitary fibular metastasis from this cancer not reported before based on medline search.

introduction: human calprotectin is an abundant protein in the neutrophil, monocyte and macrophage cytosol. effect of proliferation inhibition of this protein has been elucidated on hepatoma, melanoma, murine fibrosarcoma lukemia and human adenocarcenoma breast cancer but not in human gastric cancer cell lines. in present study, in vitro proliferation inhibition effect of calprotectin in differ...
