Studies on the Apoptotic Activity of Natural and Synthetic Retinoids: Discovery of a New Class of Synthetic Terphenyls That Potently Support Cell Growth and Inhibit Apoptosis in Neuronal and HL-60 Cells
摘要:
New terphenyl derivatives have been synthesized and tested for their effect on cell survival in serum-free cultures. These compounds protected HL60 cells from death and supported their growth with an activity higher than that of the natural 14-hydroxy-retro-retinol. Terphenyls 26 and 28 also possess antiapoptotic activity on neuronal cells, proving them as possible candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative and ischemic diseases.
