MCF10A (normal breast tissue). Acetamide moiety modification (13 a-g) to introduce additional hydrophobicity was favoured with MCF-7 breast cancer cell activity enhanced at 1.3 nM. Other analogues were potent against the HT29 colon cancer cell line at 23 nM. Textbook SAR data was observed in the MCF-7 cell line, in an MTT assay, via the ortho (17 a), meta (17 b) and para (13 f). The amino alcohol -OH moiety was pivotal, but no stereochemical preference noted. But, these data did not fit our homology modelling expectations. Aberrant MTT ((3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) screening results and metabolic interference confirmed by sulforhodamine B (SRB) screening. Interfering analogues resulted in 120 and 80-fold CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 amplification, with no upregulation of SULT1A1. This is consistent with activation of the AhR pathway. Piperidine per-deuteration reduced metabolic inactivation. 3-OH / 4-OH piperidine analogues showed differential MTT and SRB activity supporting MTT assay metabolic inactivation. Data supports piperidine 3-OH, but not the 4-OH, as a CYP substrate. This family of β-amino alcohol substituted 3,4-dichlorophenylacetonitriles show broad activity modulated via the AhR pathway. By SRB analysis the most potent analogue was 23 b, (Z)-3-(4-(3-(4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-acrylonitrile.]]> Thu 18 Nov 2021 10:32:22 AEDT ]]> Steroids from an Australian sponge Psammoclema sp. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7404 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:43 AEDT ]]> Synthesis of 4-substituted-3-hydroxy-5-oxo-10-oxa-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1]dec-3-yl acetic acid ehyl esters as norcantharidin analogues https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8093 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:28 AEDT ]]> Norcantharidin analogues with nematocidal activity in Haemonchus contortus https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12397 50s of 25–40 μM. The high ‘hit rate’ (5.6%) indicates that the approach taken here has advantages over conventional drug screening methods. A major advantage of norcantharidin analogues over some other currently available anthelmintics is that they can be produced in one to two steps in large amounts at low cost and high purity, and do not require any additional steps for the isolation of the active isomer. This positions them well for commercial development.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:45 AEDT ]]> The dynamin inhibitors MiTMAB and OcTMAB induce cytokinesis failure and inhibit cell proliferation in human cancer cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11336 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:29 AEDT ]]> Synthesis and biological activity of Δ-5,6-norcantharimides: importance of the 5,6-bridge https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10855 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:42 AEDT ]]> Inhibition of dynamin by dynole 34-2 induces cell death following cytokinesis failure in cancer cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17425 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:39 AEDT ]]> Norcantharimide analogues possessing terminal phosphate esters and their anti-cancer activity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17424 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:39 AEDT ]]> The influence of ionic liquids on the Knoevenagel condensation of 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde with phenyl acetonitriles-cytotoxic 3-substituted-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitriles https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20489 25 fold) and 13 (5.7 to >80 fold).
