Induction of G1 Phase Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis in Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells by Sulphonamide Derivative CID-6861424
Abstract: Breast cancer is most frequently detected and leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. 80% of the breast cancer are estrogen receptor positive and the presently available drugs are ineffective either due to intrinsic resistance or due to acquired resistance. Sulfonamide compounds are a class of compounds showing activities like, antibacterial, antiviral including antitumor. In the present study we have investigated the anti-cancerous activity of sulfonamide derivative CID-6861424 on …

Anticancer, Bioactive, & Therapeutic Applications of Cannabinoids
Abstract: Cannabinoids, a complex class of lipophilic compounds found in Cannabis sativa L., are attracting significant clinical interest for their multifaceted therapeutic potential, particularly within oncology. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary knowledge detailing the distinct anti-cancer properties of phytocannabinoids (such as δ-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol), endogenous endocannabinoids, and synthetic analogues. Accumulating evidence from robust in vitro and in vivo oncological models demonstrates that these compounds aggressively suppress tumor progression …

Molecular Docking Studies of Wildtype P53 with Damnacanthal and Scopoletin- Phytochemicals Derived from Morinda Citrifolia
Abstract: Cancer is a prominent cause of mortality globally, and it has the potential to impact any region of the body. The tumor suppressor protein P53 plays a significant role in inhibiting tumor growth by regulating DNA repair, inducing cell cycle arrest, promoting senescence, and triggering apoptosis when confronted with genotoxic stress. P53 is found mutated in 50% of cancers where it loses its tumor suppressive properties and gains oncogenic properties …
