consumption is associated with hepatotoxic effects due to the furan ring present in the molecule. This group is responsible for toxicity reactions in other drugs. In this work, we inserted a COOH group into the molecule to prevent the formation of toxic intermediates. We assessed the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of both molecules on HepG2 cells. Results showed that the new derivative (CCTN) is less cytotoxic
巴豆(Euphorbiales, Euphorbiaceae) 植物广泛分布于亚马逊地区,那里的人们食用其叶子和茎皮来治疗多种疾病。次级代谢产物反式- 脱氢巴豆素 (DCTN) 主要负责这种植物的生物活性。然而,由于分子中存在呋喃环,长期食用与肝毒性作用有关。该组负责其他药物的毒性反应。在这项工作中,我们在分子中插入了一个 COOH 基团,以防止有毒中间体的形成。我们评估了两种分子对 HepG2 细胞的细胞毒性和遗传毒性。结果表明,新衍生物 (CCTN) 的细胞毒性较小,并且在任何测试浓度下都不会降低细胞活力。通过彗星和微核试验评估,遗传毒性也有所降低。因此,新的衍生物似乎很有前途,应该进行额外的测试来评估其治疗活性。
