Published: December 2012

Our earlier research has shown that N-phenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues had much higher anti-cancer activity than the lead compound sodium dichloroacetate (DCA). In this current study, a variety of N-arylphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction and their anti-cancer activity was evaluated. The results showed that N-terphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues had satisfactory anti-cancer activity. Among them, N-(3,5-bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)phenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide (6 k) had an IC(50) of 2.40 μM against KB-3-1 cells, 1.04 μM against H460 cells and 1.73 μM against A549 cells.

Background: The objective of the present study is to examine the total phenolic and flavonoid content of an ethanol extract of and to evaluate its phytochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and capacity to protect DNA from damage. This pharmaceutical/food resource mushroom may serve as a novel substitute functional food for health-conscious consumers, given its promising source of phenolics and flavonoids.

Methods: ethanol extract (SEE) was evaluated for total phenolic and flavonoid contents, while UPLC-MS analysis was used for terpenoids, phenylpropanoid, flavonoids, steroidal, phenols identification, and function prediction.

Background: The outcomes of pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain far less than favorable. While apigenin is an anti-cancer agent, studies on the mechanism by which it regulates ALL cell cycle progression are inadequate. Ferroptosis and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling are important processes for ALL patients.

The multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib has shown potential to inhibit tumor cell growth and intra-tumoral angiogenesis by targeting several kinases, including VEGFR2 and RAF. Abnormal activation of the Ras/Raf/MAPK/ERK kinase cascade and the VEGF pathway is a common feature in breast cancer. However, the efficacy of sorafenib in breast cancer treatment remains limited.
