Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. The treatment options for colorectal carcinoma generally consist of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug resistance to chemotherapy agents used in the current cancer treatment has brought about the finding of new drug molecules from some plant and aquatic species in the treatment approaches. Some species of aquatic biota create novel biomolecules as potential drugs for cancer and other diseases. Toluhydroquinone belongs to these groups of biomolecules and it shows anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. In this study, we tested the cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic effects of Toluhydroquinone on Caco-2(Human colorectal carcinoma cell line) cells. It was observed that the amount of closure of the wound space, colony forming ability (in vitro cell survivability) and formation of tubule-like structures in matrigel decreased in comparison to the control group. As a result of this study, Toluhydroquinone has cytotoxic, anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic properties on the Caco-2 cell line.

Drug repurposing of well-established drugs to be targeted against lung cancer has been a promising strategy. Bosentan is an endothelin 1 (ET-1) blocker widely used in pulmonary hypertension. The current experiment intends to inspect the anticancer and antiangiogenic mechanism of bosentan targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) /extra-cellular Signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) /c-Jun/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) carcinogenic pathway.

Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells and targeting of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3).
Materials And Methods: The (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells. Various concentrations of hinokitiol (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 μg/mL) were tested, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) was calculated.

The discovery of novel anti-cancer drugs motivated us to synthesize a new series of triple 1,2,3-triazole-based arm scaffolds featuring distinct un functionalized alkyl and/or aryl side chains with possible anti-cancer action using the click chemistry approach under both conventional and green microwave irradiation (MWI) methods. The Cu(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of targeted tris-alkyne with un functionalized aliphatic and aromatic azides has been adopted as an efficient approach for synthesizing the desired click adducts. Microwave irradiation improved the synthetic processes, resulting in higher yields and faster reaction times.
