A new series of 1,2-diaryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles, possessing trimethoxy phenyl pharmacophore, were synthesized to evaluate their biological activities as tubulin inhibitors. Cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds 7a-f was assessed against several human cancer cell lines, including MCF-7 (breast cancer cell), HEPG2 (liver hepatocellular cells), A549 (adenocarcinomic h...

objective: irinotecan is a botanical derivative and an anti-cancer drug with cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. the present study evaluated the effect of lactobacillus plantarum a7 on the genotoxic activity of irinotecan in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (hepg2) by comet assay. materials and methods: hepg2 were incubated with irinotecan (100 µm), heat-killed cells (0.025 µg/ml) + irinotecan...

background: hyperglycemia is one of the important featurs of diabetes. in cell culture studies different methods are used to mimic the hyperglycemia condition. in this study we investigate response of human liver cancer cell line (hepg2) to high insulin, high glucose, and high insulin/ high glucose medium exposure. methods: hepg2 cells were settled in dmem+0.1% fbs or dmem free-serum medium wit...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate a co-encapsulated pegylated nano-liposome system based on two herbal anti-tumor drugs, silibinin and glycyrrhizic acid, for delivery to a hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) cell line (hepg2). materials and methods: in this experimental study, co-encapsulated nano-liposomes by the thin layer film hydration method with hepes buffer and sonication at 60% amplitu...

aim and background: hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) -an aggressive malignancy with high rate of mortality- is the third cause of cancer related death, worldwide. cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug used for treatment of hcc. however, serious side effects of drug limit the therapeutic administer dose.  nanotechnology based devices such as liposome nanoparticles are capable to overcome these drawback...
