Identification of a new bis-amino acid glycoside selectively toxic to multiple myeloma cells
摘要:
A bis-triazolyl phenylalaninyl galactoside was synthesized by a two-fold click reaction between an azido phenylalanine and a di-O-propynyl galactoside. By a cytotoxicity assay the compound was determined to be selectively toxic for multiple myeloma (MM) among a series of cancer cell lines with no toxicity to a control cell line. A Western blot analysis suggested that this compound could potentiate the cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase in MM cells, leading to apoptosis. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
