Inappropriate DNA methylation of tumour suppressor genes can affect their expression and function, and as such, DNA methylation has been a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. In gynaecological malignancy, ovarian cancer has the highest associat... Read More about Sesquiterpene Lactones Modulated DNA Methylation through Inhibition of DNMTs in Ovarian Cancer Cells.

The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, combined with endocrine therapy, has been shown to be effective in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. However, palbociclib is not as effective in... Read More about Conjugation of Palbociclib with MHI-148 Has an Increased Cytotoxic Effect for Breast Cancer Cells and an Altered Mechanism of Action..

Thieno[2,3-b]Pyridine Derivative Targets Epithelial, Mesenchymal and Hybrid CD15s+ Breast Cancer Cells. (2021)

The adhesion of cancer cells to vascular endothelium is a critical process in hematogenous metastasis and might be similar to the recruitment of leukocytes at the site of inflammation. It is mediated by E-selectin and its ligands, of which the most s... Read More about Thieno[2,3-b]Pyridine Derivative Targets Epithelial, Mesenchymal and Hybrid CD15s+ Breast Cancer Cells..

Discovery of Novel Sultone Fused Berberine Derivatives as Promising Tdp1 Inhibitors. (2021)

A new type of berberine derivatives was obtained by the reaction of berberrubine with aliphatic sulfonyl chlorides. The new polycyclic compounds have a sultone ring condensed to C and D rings of a protoberberine core. The reaction conditions were dev...
