- * Targeting CSCs with specific drugs holds potential for curing HCC, as these cells are linked to the cancer's initiation, spread, and recurrence.
- * Mitochondria are vital for CSC drug resistance due to their roles in metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) dynamics; understanding mitochondrial functions could lead to new cancer therapies.
A series of pregnenolone derivatives were synthesized and assessed for anti-cancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). The synthesized hetero-steroids (compounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8a and 8b) were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities using MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Apoptotic activity was assessed using dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining method and DNA fragmentation assay.
