New asterosaponin, acanthaglycoside G (), along with three previously known steroidal oligoglycosides (), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the starfish , collected off the coast of Vietnam. The structure of was mainly elucidated by extensive NMR and ESIMS techniques as sodium 6--{-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→4)-[-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)]--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→3)--D-quinovopyranosyl}-6-hydroxy-5-pregn-9(11)-en-20-one-3-yl sulfate. Compounds and showed slight cytotoxic activities against cancer RPMI-7951, HT-29, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, but effectively inhibited in non-toxic concentrations colony formation of HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cells and cell migration of MDA-MB-231 cells. Compounds and were inactive or less active, respectively.

Nitrogen-based organic heterocyclic compounds are an important source of therapeutic agents. About 75% of drugs approved by the FDA and currently available in the market are N-heterocyclic organic compounds. The N-heterocyclic organic compounds like pyridine, indole, triazoles, triazine, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, quinazolines, pyrazoles, quinolines, pyrimidines, porphyrin, etc.

This study investigates the structural, vibrational, and biological properties of novel palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with 5-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (5ClL) and 4-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (4ClL) ligands. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, combined with DFT (ωB97X-D) calculations, provided valuable information about metal-ligand interactions, the or conformation of the aldehyde group in the ligands, and the presence of isomers in the metal complexes obtained in the solid state. tests were used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the novel complexes against several cancer cell lines, including ovarian cancer (A2780), cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer (A2780cis), colon cancer (HT-29), and triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), as well as normal mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3).

A new series of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone-benzamides 5a-n was designed based on previously reported potent cytotoxic agents. These compounds were synthesized from the reaction of 1,4-naphthoquinone, 4-aminobenzoic acid, and appropriate amine derivatives in good yields. Cytotoxic activities of the target compounds 5a-n were evaluated against three cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, SUIT-2, and HT-29 by MTT assay and the obtained in vitro data.
