Abstract
In a quest of developing carbohydrate derived anti-cancer agents, novel carbohydrate dithioacetal derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their potential as anti-proliferative agents against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) as well as non-cancerous kidney epithelial cell line (NKE). Total 18 compounds have been screened and 3 compounds showed promising anti-proliferative activities against cancer cells with low cytotoxicity to the normal cells using MTT assay. The mode of action of the best active compound has been proposed based on several microscopic studies. A molecular docking study also confirmed the proposed mechanism for the anti-proliferative properties.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
