Tubulin-binding anticancer polysulfides induce cell death via mitotic arrest and autophagic interference in colorectal c...
...Published in Cancer Letters
Polysulfanes show chemopreventive effects against gastrointestinal tumors. We identified diallyl tetrasulfide and its derivative, dibenzyl tetrasulfide (DBTTS), to be mitotic inhibitors and apoptosis inducers. Here, we translate their application in colorectal cancer (CRC). MALDI-TOF-MS analysis identified both compounds as reversible tubulin binde...
Cardiac glycosides: From molecular targets to immunogenic cell death
Published in Biochemical Pharmacology
Cardiac glycosides (CGs) are approved for the treatment of cardiovascular alterations and their known cellular target is the alpha subunit of the sodium (Na+)/potassium (K+)-ATPase (NKA). Pharmacologically, they represent a well-known generation of drugs for treating cardiovascular problems, thus allowing the investigation of potential dose-depende...

Roles of Apoptosis and Cellular Senescence in Cancer and Aging
Published in Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry
Cancer and aging are two similar processes representing the final outcome of time-dependent accumulation of various irreversible dysfunctions, mainly caused by stress-induced DNA and cellular damages. Apoptosis and senescence are two types of cellular response to damage that are altered in both cancer and aging, albeit through different mechanisms....
