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...
Discovery and Characterization of R/S-N-3-Cyanophenyl-N'- (6-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H- 1-ben...
...Published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
A new series of N-aryl-N'-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)ureas bearing an alkoxycarbonylamino group at the 6-position were synthesized and examined as putative anticancer agents targeting sirtuins in glioma cells. Based on computational docking combined to in vitro sirtuin 1/2 inhibition assays, we selected compound 18 [R/S-N-3-cyano...
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...

9th International International society for the study of xenobiotics Meeting
Prostate cancer is the most commun cancer in men in the western world. Lifestyle, diet and environmental as well as genetic factors (e.g. disregulations of the Wingless (Wnt) signaling pathway) promote the malignant transformation of healthy prostatic epithelium. Due to the high prevalence and the slow progressive development of prostate cancer, pr...

Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis
Published in Redox Signaling and Regulation in Biology and Medicine
The decision of a cell to die is triggered by the imbalance between the positive signals, those needed for continuing to survive (i.e. growth factors), and negative signals (i.e. DNA damages, increased levels of oxidants) [1]. There are two major mechanisms of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis. The severity of the injury leads the cells to decide ...

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....
