Abstract

To continue the quest of newer anticancer agents, herein a novel class of 1,4-Dihydroindenopyrazole linked oxadiazole conjugates 9(a-r) was designed, synthesized and experimented for their anti-proliferative activities against four different cancer cell lines (human) such as MDA MB-231 (breast), PANC-1 (pancreatic), MCF-7 (breast), and Caco-2 (Colorectal) by using MTT assay. Among the series compound 9h and 9 m demonstrated significant potency against the PANC-1 (human pancreatic cancer cells) with IC50 value 7.4 μM and 4.3 μM respectively. While compound 9 m was found to be equipotent to standard Gomitabine (IC50 = 4.2 μM). The detailed biological assays revealed S phase cell cycle arrest and their ability to propagate apoptosis by activating caspase 3 and 9 enzymes which was confirmed by Annexin-FITC assay and caspase assay. Moreover, docking study suggested their binding modes and interactions with caspase-3. In addition, in silico studies revealed that they exhibit good pharmacokinetics and drug likeliness properties. Furthermore, 3D-QSAR was carried out to achieve a pharmacophoric model with CoMFA (q2 = 0.631, r2 = 0.977) and CoMSIA (q2 = 0.686, r2 = 0.954) on PANC-1 cancer cells which were established, generated and valid...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

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.

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
