The reactions between [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(micro-X)](2) (dmba=N,N-dimethylbenzylamine; X=Cl, Br) and thiourea (tu) in the 1:2 molar ratio at room temperature resulted in the mononuclear compounds [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(Cl)(tu)] (1) and [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(Br)(tu)] (2), which were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared (IR), (1)H- and (13)C{(1)H} NMR spectroscopies. The crystal and molecular structures of 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In vitro cytotoxicity assays of the compounds 1, 2, tu, dmba and cisplatin were carried out using two murine tumor cell lines, namely mammary adenocarcinoma (LM3) and lung adenocarcinoma (LP07). The compounds 1, 2, tu and dmba were also tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and their MIC values were determined.

Introduction: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemical compounds used to reduce the flammability of various products; some BFRs exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties and can leach into the environment leading to human and wildlife exposure. The mammary gland has specific vulnerability windows during which it is more sensitive to the effects of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), such as the life, puberty and pregnancy. Our previous studies revealed precocious mammary gland development, disruptions in junctional proteins, and altered proliferation-apoptosis balance during puberty in rats exposed to BFRs and through lactation.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mammary gland carcinoma is a serious cancer caused by the carcinogen DMBA, which damages DNA, while flavonoids in black soybean possess anti-cancer properties.
  • - A study tested the effects of black soybean extract on cancer in rats, using different dosages and measuring their impact on cancer-related proteins BRCA1 and TNF-α.
  • - Results showed that black soybean extract is non-toxic and effectively inhibits cancer progression, with the best dosage being 200 mg/kg body weight, likely due to components like catechin and genistein.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assesses the effectiveness of PLGA-loaded Nedaplatin (PLGA-NDP) in treating oral cancer induced by DMBA in a hamster model, where DMBA exposure led to the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
  • PLGA-NDP was administered both before and after carcinogen exposure, showing promising results in reducing tumor formation and altering key molecular proteins associated with cancer progression.
  • Findings revealed that PLGA-NDP inhibits Notch signaling, which is linked to apoptosis, suggesting that targeting this pathway could provide a new strategy for treating OSCC.
