Quantitative yields of more than 80 % are obtained in both the steps. After characterization by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and analytical data, all the compounds of both series were tested for cytotoxic activity against a panel of different human cancer cell lines by MTT assay, during which compound 3e, 3f, 4e, 4f and 4h are very potent especially against HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Cell cycle analysis depicted the cell death in S-phase while as annexin V-FITC/PI analysis showed that compounds effectively induce apoptosis. Apoptotic degradation of DNA of MCF-7 cells in the presence of different steroidal derivatives was analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium bromide staining (comet assay). In western blotting analysis, the relative expressions of relevant apoptotic markers depicted an apoptosis by steroidal dihydropyrazole in MCF-7 cancer cells. </p>","PeriodicalId":15296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Biology","volume":"8 3","pages":"107-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s12154-015-0137-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33412585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report here the prediction of most probable protein targets of kinetin from spinach proteome using in silico approaches. Inverse docking and ligand-based similarity search was performed using kinetin as molecule. The former method prioritized six spinach proteins, whereas the latter method provided a list of protein targets retrieved from several model organisms. The most probable protein targets were selected by comparing the rank list of docking and ligand similarity methods. Both of these methods prioritized chitinase as the most probable protein target (ΔG pred = 5.064 kcal/mol) supported by the experimental structure of yeast chitinase 1 complex with kinetin (PDB: 2UY5) and Gliocladium roseum chitinase complex with 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione (caffeine; 3G6M) which bears a 3D similarity of 0.43 with kinetin. An in vitro study to evaluate the effect of kinetin on spinach seed germination indicated that a very low concentration of kinetin (0.5 mg/l) did not show a significant effect compared to control in inducing seed germination process. Further, higher levels of kinetin (>0.5 mg/l) constituted an antagonist effect on spinach seed germination. It is anticipated that kinetin may have a molecular interaction with prioritized protein targets synthesized during the seed germination process and reduces growth. Thus, it appears that kinetin may not be a suitable hormone for enhancing spinach seed germination in vitro. </p>","PeriodicalId":15296,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Biology","volume":"8 3","pages":"95-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s12154-015-0135-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33412584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
