A novel series of 2-arylquinazolinones 7a-o bearing trans-stilbene moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against human breast cancer cell lines including human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and human ductal breast epithelial tumor (T-47D). Among the tested compounds, the sec-butyl derivative 7h showed the best profile of activity (IC50 < 5 μM) against all cell lines, being 2-fold more potent than standard drug, etoposide. Our investigation revealed that the cytotoxic activity was significantly affected by N3-alkyl substituents. Furthermore, the morphological analysis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining test and flow cytometry analysis indicated that the prototype compound 7h can induce apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.

Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide. Despite advances in surgery and immune-chemotherapy, the therapeutic outcome remains poor. In recent years, the anticancer properties of natural compounds, along with their low toxic side effects, have attracted the interest of researchers.

For therapy of skin cancer, transdermal administration has been a potential way to enhance chemotherapy. However, the drug delivery efficacy remained unsatisfactory because of the physiological barriers from the skin to the tumor, which hindered the effect of 3,5,4'-trimethoxy-trans-stilbene (BTM), a drug that has toxicity to cancer. Herein, we prepared an oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion to load BTM (BTM-ME) for transdermal therapy of melanoma.

A series of fourteen liquid crystalline monomers and polyoxetanes containing trans-biphenyl side group have been successfully synthesized. The thermal and mesomorphic properties of monomers (~) and polymers (~) are measured using DSC, POM, and X-ray. All of the series monomers present enantiotropic smectic H and smectic G phase and the series polymers show enantiotropic smectic A phase which three polymers contained exhibit smectic E.

Background: 3,5,4'-trimethoxy-trans-stilbene (BTM) is a methylated derivative of resveratrol. To improve the pharmaceutical properties of BTM, BTM loaded PEG-PE micelles (BTM@PEG-PE) were fabricated and its anti-cancer efficacy against colon cancer was evaluated.
Methods: BTM@PEG-PE micelles were prepared by the solvent evaporation method and were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), size, zeta potential, polymer disperse index (PDI) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Mononuclear nonheme high-spin iron(III)-acylperoxo complexes bearing an N-methylated cyclam ligand were synthesized, spectroscopically characterized, and investigated in olefin epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation reactions. In the epoxidation of olefins, epoxides were yielded as the major products with high stereo-, chemo-, and enantioselectivities; cis- and trans-stilbenes were oxidized to cis- and trans-stilbene oxides, respectively. In the epoxidation of cyclohexene, cyclohexene oxide was formed as the major product with a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 1.
