Abstract

In order to develop novel anti-cancer agents, a series of asymmetrical 2,6-bis (benzylidene)cyclohexanone derivatives containing nitrobenzylidene moiety were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity were determined in vitro against MDA-MB 231, MCF-7 and SK-N-MC cell lines using MTT assay. Among the tested compounds, the highest activity against MDA-MB 231 cells was achieved by 2-(3-bromo-5-methoxy-4-propoxybenzylidene)-6-(2-nitrobenzylidene)cyclohexanone (compound 5d). Whereas, compound 5j (the 3-nitro analog of compound 5d) was the most potent compound against MCF-7 and SK-N-MC cell lines. The results indicated that the cytotoxic activity profile against different tumor cells can be optimized by desired 4-alkoxy-3-bromo-5-methoxybenzylidene scaffold.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
