2. The effects of thymoquinone on pancreatic cancer and immune cells
SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: Black cumin is widely used as a spice and as a traditional treatment. The active ingredient in black cumin seeds is thymoquinone. Thymoquinone has shown anticancer effects in some cancers. We planned to investigate its anticancer effect on pancreatic cancer cell lines. METHODS: Thymoquinone chemical component in various doses was prepar

3. Linseed Oil Nanoemulsion with Pluronic® F127 Loaded with Betulinic Acid: Preparation, Rheology, MTT Assay and in vitro Release Kinetics
The main objective of this work was to develop a nanoemulsion based on linseed oil and betulinic acid, stabilized with Pluronic F127 and polyglycerol polyricinoleate, for anticancer applications. The nanoemulsions were synthesized by ultrasound and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology, encapsula

4. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Betulin Derivatives with Aromatic Hydrazone Side Chain as Potential Anticancer Agents
A series of novel betulin-28-hydrazone derivatives (7a-7o) were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicities in four human carcinoma cells (HepG2, MCF-7, HCT-116 and A549). Among them, compound 7l displayed the most potent cytotoxicity with an IC50 (concentration of the tested compound that inhibits 50% of cell growth) value of

5. Diacetate Naphthoquinone Derivatives Tethered to 1,2,3-Triazoles: Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation in Caco-2 Cells
Acetylated compounds prepared from naphthoquinones have been reported as antitumoral prodrugs. Exploring the synthetic versatility of the naphthoquinone and triazolic nuclei, herein we report a simple and efficient synthetic route to prepare a series of sixteen prodrugs prototype of 1,2,3-triazoles-naphthoquinodoic acetyl derivatives. The compounds 10a-10h a

6. METABOLIC PROFILING AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACTS FROM CHAMAECRISTA DUCKEANA (P. BEZERRA & A. FERN.) H. S. IRWIN & BARNEBY (LEGUMINOSAE, CAESALPINIOIDEAE)
The genus Chamaecrista comprises more than 330 species, with only a few studies on their chemical composition and biologic activities. In this study, the phytochemical profile of leaf, stems, and fruits extracts of the C. duckeana were examined by UPLC ESI HRMS analysis to determine possibly bioactive constituents. The antioxidant activity was carried out th

7. Natural and Semisynthetic Triterpenes from Combretum leprosum Mart. with Antiplasmodial Activity
Malaria is responsible for thousands of deaths each year. Currently, artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) is used as first-choice medication against the disease. However, the emergence of resistant strains prompts the search for alternative compounds. The present study aimed to investigate the antiplasmodial activities of natural triterpenes (compounds 1 an

8. Effect of Preparation Additives on the Antimicrobial Activity and Cytotoxicity of Polypyrrole
The search for new biomaterials has increased continuously in recent years and, in this context, the application of polypyrrole (PPy) as a promising material for this function has been reported as a result of positive responses, such as bioactivity and biocompatibility. In this study, PPy was obtained through modifications/adaptations made in methodologies o

9. Structure of prodigiosin from Serratia marcescens NJZT-1 and its cytotoxicity on TSC2-null cells
Abstract Prodigiosin, a secondary metabolite extracted from Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens), could induce apoptosis in various cancer cells, with however low toxicity on normal cells. The red pigment was extracted from a strain S. marcescens NJZT-1 isolated from soil, which had antibacterial activity. Spectral analyses (LC-ESI-MS, UV-VIS spectrophotometr

10. Expedient Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Bis(n)-lophine Analogues as Selective Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors: Cytotoxicity Evaluation and Molecular Modelling
In the brain of patients with chronic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) levels rise while the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels decrease. Therefore, development of new selective BuChE inhibitors is of vital importance. Here we present a series of bis(n)-lophine analogues, where two lophine derivatives are connected by a methylene

11. Design, Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of New Schiff Bases Bearing 2-Aminothiophene Derivatives Obtained by Molecular Simplification
Seventeen Schiff bases bearing 2-aminothiophene derivatives were designed and synthesized using molecular simplification. The resulting compounds (4a-4q) were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against dermatophytes. Prediction of their druglikeness and pharmacokinetic properties, establishment of their structure-activity relationships (SAR), a

12. Synthesis, in silico Study and Antileishmanial Evaluation of New Selenides Derived from 7-Chloro-quinoline and N-Phenylacetamides
This study describes a virtual screening performed for two series of selenides (28 compounds), derived from N-phenylacetamides chlorides and 7-chloro-quinoline, to determine their potential for leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania donovani. Seven compounds were predicted as potential leishmanicides; therefore, they were synth
