of the antibacterial drug nitrofurantoin were envisioned, employing drug repurposing and biology-oriented drug synthesis, to serve as possible anticancer agents. Eleven compounds showed superior safety in non-cancerous human cells. Their antitumor efficacy was assessed on colorectal, breast, cervical, and liver cancer cells. Three compounds induced oxidative DNA damage in cancer cells with subsequent
设想了抗菌药物呋喃妥因的结构修饰,采用药物再利用和以生物学为导向的药物合成,以作为可能的抗癌剂。11 种化合物在非癌性人类细胞中表现出优异的安全性。他们对结直肠癌、乳腺癌、宫颈癌和肝癌细胞的抗肿瘤功效进行了评估。三种化合物在癌细胞中诱导氧化性 DNA 损伤,随后发生细胞凋亡。他们还上调了 Bax 的表达,同时下调了 Bcl-2 的表达以及激活半胱天冬酶 3/7。通过 pATM 核穿梭证明,这些化合物诱导的 DNA 损伤在 MCF7 和 MDA-MB-231(p53 突变体)细胞系中具有可比性。机理研究证实了这些化合物对 p53 介导途径的依赖性,因为它们抑制了 p53-MDM2 相互作用。的确,1增强了对辐射的细胞毒性反应,表明可能存在协同作用。在 MCF7 异种移植动物模型中验证了体内抗肿瘤活性。
