Natural Phaeosphaeride A Derivatives Overcome Drug Resistance of Tumor Cells and Modulate Signaling Pathways.

In the present study, natural phaeosphaeride A (PPA) derivatives are synthesized. Anti-tumor studies are carried out on the PC3, K562, HCT-116, THP-1, MCF-7, A549, NCI-H929, Jurkat, and RPMI8226 tumor cell lines, and on the human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line. All the compounds synthesized turned out to have better efficacy than PPA towards the tumor cell lines listed.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Phaeosphaeride A Derivatives as Antitumor Agents.

New derivatives of phaeosphaeride A (PPA) were synthesized and characterized. Anti-tumor activity studies were carried out on the HCT-116, PC3, MCF-7, A549, К562, NCI-Н929, Jurkat, THP-1, RPMI8228 tumor cell lines, and on the HEF cell line. All of the compounds synthesized were found to have better efficacy than PPA towards the tumor cell lines mentioned.

Towards lead compounds as anti-cancer agents via new phaeosphaeride A derivatives.

New derivatives of phaeosphaeride A (PPA) were synthesized and characterized. Anti-tumor studies were carried out on the U937, HCT-116, PC3, MCF-7, A549, К562, NCI-H929, Jurkat, THP-1, RPMI8228 tumor cell lines, and on the HEF cell line. All the compounds synthesized were found to have better efficacy than PPA towards the tumor cell lines mentioned.
