Dihydrotanshinone I (DI), a naturally occurring compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has been reported to have cytotoxicity to a variety of tumor cells. In this study, we investigated its anti-angiogenic capacity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. DI induced a potent cytotoxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells, with an IC50 value of approximately 1.28 μg/ml.At 0.25-1μg/ml, DI dose-dependently suppressed human umbilical vein endothelial cell migration, invasion, and tube formation detected by wound healing, Transwell invasion and Matrigel tube formation assays, respectively. Moreover, DI showed significant in vivo anti-angiogenic activity in chick embryo chorioailantoic membrane assay. DI induced a 61.1% inhibitory rate of microvessel density at 0.2 μg/egg. Taken together, our results showed that DI could inhibit angio-genesis through suppressing endothelial cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tube formation, indicating that DI has a potential to be developed as a novel anti-angiogenic agent. 相似文献

Angiogenesis leads to tumor neovascularization by promoting tumor growth and metastatic spread, therefore, angiogenesis is considered as an attractive target for potential small molecule anticancer drug discovery. Herein, we report the structural modification and biological evaluation of baicalein derivatives, among which compound 42 had potent in vivo anti-angiogenic activity and wide security treatment window in transgenic zebrafish model. Further, 42 exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity on HUVEC proliferation, migration and tube formation in vitro. Moreover, 42 significantly inhibited growth of human lung cancer A549 cells and weak influence on human normal fibroblast L929 cells. The present research demonstrated that the significant anti-angiogenic and anticancer effects, which provided the supportive evidence for 42 could be used as a potential compound of cancer therapy. 相似文献

Proliferation of endothelial cells is critical for angiogenesis. We report orally available, in vivo active antiangiogenic agents which specifically inhibit endothelial cell proliferation. After identifying human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation inhibitors from a cell-based high-throughput screening (HTS), we eliminated those compounds which showed cytotoxicity against HCT116 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) inhibitory activity. Evaluations in human Calu-6 xenograft model delivered lead compound 1. Following extensive lead optimization and alteration of the scaffold we discovered 32f and 32g, which both inhibited the proliferation and tube formation of HUVEC without showing inhibitory activity against any of 25 kinases or cytotoxicity against either normal fibroblasts or 40 cancer cell lines. Upon oral administration, 32f and 32g had good pharmacokinetic profiles and potent antitumor activity and decreased microvessel density (MVD) in Calu-6 xenograft model. Combination therapy with a VEGFR inhibitor enhanced the in vivo efficacy. These results suggest that 32f and 32g may have potential for use in cancer treatment. 相似文献

Chalcones are precursors of flavonoids and have been shown to have anti-cancer activity. Here, we identify the synthetic chalcone derivative 4′-acetoamido-4-hydroxychalcone (AHC) as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of glioma. Treatment with AHC reduced glioma cell invasion, migration, and colony formation in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, AHC inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor-induced migration, invasion, and tube formation in HUVECs. To determine the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of AHC on glioma cell invasion and migration, we investigated the effect of AHC on the gene expression change and found that AHC affects actin dynamics in U87MG glioma cells. In actin cytoskeleton regulating system, AHC increased tropomyosin expression and stress fiber formation, probably through activation of PKA. Suppression of tropomyosin expression by siRNA or treatment with the PKA inhibitor H89 reduced the inhibitory effects of AHC on glioma cell invasion and migration. In vivo experiments also showed that AHC inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft mouse tumor model. Together, these data suggest that the synthetic chalcone derivative AHC has potent anti-cancer activity through inhibition of glioma proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis and is therefore a potential chemotherapeutic candidate for the treatment of glioma. 相似文献

Previous studies revealed that wogonin, a naturally occurring monoflavonoid extracted from Scutellariae radix, possessed anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism of its potent anticancer activity remains poorly understood and warrants further investigations. In this study, we found for the first time that wogonin inhibited the growth and tumor angiogenesis of human gastric carcinoma in nude mice. We explored the inhibitory effect of wogonin on angiogenesis stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in vitro. Wogonin suppressed the VEGF-stimulated migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). It also restrained VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). This inhibition of receptor phosphorylation was correlated with a significant decrease in VEGF-triggered phosphorylated forms of ERK, AKT and p38. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that wogonin might be a promising antitumor drug. 相似文献

A series of polyphenolic curcumin analogs were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase and the inhibition of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical formation were evaluated. The results indictated that the analogs possessing m-diphenols and o-diphenols exhibited more potent inhibitory activity on tyrosinase than reference compound rojic acid, and that the analogs with o-diphenols exhibited more potent inhibitory activity of DPPH free-radical formation than reference compound vitamin C. The inhibition kinetics, analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots, revealed that compounds B(2) and C(2) bearing o-diphenols were non-competitive inhibitors, while compounds B(11) and C(11) bearing m-diphenols were competitive inhibitors. In particular, representative compounds C(2) and B(11) showed no side effects at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg in a preliminary evaluation of acute toxicity in mice. These results suggest that such polyphenolic curcumin analogs might serve as lead compounds for further design of new potential tyrosinase inhibitors. 相似文献

A new Ru(II)–Se complex, Ru(bpy)2L2Cl2 (bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine, L?=?1,10-phenanthrolineselenazole) (Ru-Se) has been synthesized and characterized. The G-quadruplex DNA-binding properties of the complex and its selenium ligand (Phen-Se) were evaluated by thermal denaturation study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) stop assay, and telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP). The results showed that the obtained complex could induce and stabilize G-quadruplex structure as well as exhibit potent inhibitory activity against telomerase. In vitro cytotoxicity studies showed that complex Ru-Se inhibited the cancer cell growth through apoptosis. However, the presence of the ligand Phen-Se did not appear to have a significant effect either on G-quadruplex binding or on biological activity. Furthermore, the cell migration assay and the tube formation assay also demonstrated that the complex Ru-Se significantly inhibited human umbilical vascular endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration, and tube formation. These findings indicate that the Ru–Se complex may be a potential telomerase inhibitor and a viable drug candidate in antiangiogenesis for anticancer therapies. 相似文献

Involvement of calcium, calmodulin and protein phosphorylation in morphogenesis of Candida albicans 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine-induced germ tube formation in Candida albicans at 37 degrees C was accompanied by an increase in the rate of protein phosphorylation. The calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187, which inhibited germ tube formation, also reduced the rate of phosphorylation. The rate of phosphorylation was also reduced when cells were incubated at 25 degrees C, which favoured yeast-phase growth. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis of phosphoproteins from germ-tube-forming and yeast cells revealed two germ-tube-specific and three yeast-specific phosphoproteins. Germ tubes and hyphae had more calmodulin activity than yeast cells, irrespective of the germ-tube-inducing condition used. As a first step towards understanding the inhibitory effect of trifluoperazine on germ tube formation, calmodulin from C. albicans was purified to homogeneity. It was heat stable, and displayed a pronounced Ca2(+)-induced shift in electrophoretic mobility. 相似文献

TGFbeta is a potent regulator of cell differentiation in many cell types. On aortic endothelial cells, TGFbeta1 displays angiogenic properties in inducing capillary-like tube formation in collagen I gels, in vitro. We investigated cytoskeletal changes that precede tube formation and related these alterations to the effects of TGFbeta1 on the activation state of members of the RhoGTPase family. TGFbeta1 promotes cell elongation and stress fiber formation in aortic endothelial cells. Using cell lines with inducible expression of Rac1 mutants, we show that these events are mimicked by expression of dominant-negative Rac1 whereas the constitutively active mutant prevents the TGFbeta1-mediated change of phenotype. Although TGFbeta1 induces an initial rise in the Rac1-GTP content, this phase is followed by a prolonged loss of the active form. In contrast, RhoA activity increases progressively and reaches a plateau when Rac1-GTP is no longer detectable. Prolonged inhibition of Rac1 appears necessary and sufficient for the increase in RhoA-GTP. In situ examination of Rho activity in TGFbeta1-treated cells provides evidence that active RhoA relocalizes to the tips of elongated cells. Inhibiting the Rho effector ROCK abrogates tube formation. Thus, Rac1 and RhoA are regulated by TGFbeta1 in the process of endothelial tube formation in collagen I gels. 相似文献

Various thioacetal artemisinin derivatives can inhibit the angiogenesis and might be angiogenesis inhibitors. In particular, 10 alpha-phenylthiodihydroartemisinins (5), 10 beta-benzenesulfonyl-9-epi-dihydroartemisinin (11) and 10 alpha-mercaptodihydroartemisinin (13) exhibit strong growth inhibition activity against HUVEC proliferation. Compound 11 have a good inhibitiory activity upon HUVEC tube formation, and 5 and 11 show a strong inhibitory effect on angiogenesis using CAM assay at 5 microg/egg by 90%. 相似文献

A water-soluble and low-molecular-weight fraction (SB) was obtained from tomato paste. The effects of SB on the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) in protein glycation were studied by the methods of specific fluorescence, ELISA and a Western blot analysis, using the anti-AGE antibody after incubating protein with sugar. The results suggest that SB had strong inhibitory activity, in comparison with aminoguanidine as a positive control, and that the inhibitory mechanism of SB differed from that of aminoguanidine to involve trapping of reactive dicarbonyl intermediates in the early stage of glycation. SB contained an antioxidant, rutin, which showed potent inhibitory activity. The results also suggest that rutin chiefly contributed to inhibiting the formation of AGE, and that other compounds in SB may also have been related to the activity. 相似文献

A series of (4-substituted prolyl)prolinenitriles were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV). Among those tested, the 4beta-[4-(hydroxyphenyl)prolyl]prolinenitriles showed a potent inhibitory activity with a long duration of action. Metabolic formation of the corresponding phenol glucuronates was found to contribute to their long duration of action. The activity profiles of the synthesized compounds are reported and structure-activity relationships are also presented. 相似文献

The study of the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation and its inhibition is of key medical importance due to the lack of amyloid assembly inhibitors that are approved for clinical use. We have previously demonstrated the potent inhibitory potential of phenolsulfonphthalein, a nontoxic compound that was approved for diagnostic use in human subjects, on aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) that is associated with type 2 diabetes. Here, we extend our studies on the mechanism of action of phenolsulfonphthalein by comparing its antiamyloidogenic effect to a very similar compound that is also approved for human use, phenolphthalein. While these compounds have very similar primary chemical structures, they significantly differ in their three-dimensional conformation. Our results clearly demonstrated that these two compounds had completely different inhibitory potencies: While phenolsulfonphthalein was a very potent inhibitor of amyloid fibril formation by IAPP, phenolphthalein did not show significant antiamyloidogenic activity. This behavior was observed with a short amyloid fragment of IAPP and also with the full-length polypeptide. The NMR spectrum of IAPP 20-29 in the presence of phenolsulfonphthalein showed chemical shift deviations that were different from the unbound or phenolphthalein-bound peptide. Differential activity was also observed in the inhibition of insulin amyloid formation by these two compounds, and density-gradient experiments clearly demonstrated the different inhibitory effect of the two compounds on the formation of prefibrillar assemblies. Taken together, our studies suggest that the three-dimensional arrangement of the polyphenol phenolsulfonphthalein has a central role in its amyloid formation inhibition activity. 相似文献

Oxazolomycin diacetate, dipropionate, monobutyrate and dibutyrate were derived from oxazolomycin, a product of Streptomyces sp. KBFP-2025. These esters were potent inhibitors of crown gall formation on potato tuber disks upon infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. They showed neither antibacterial nor phytotoxic activity, whereas oxazolomycin showed both antibacterial and phytotoxic activities. Further, they had no inhibitory activity against A. tumefaciens on the potato tuber disk. The inhibitory activity of these esters against crown gall formation seems to be due to specific inhibition of the transformation of plants with A. tumefaciens. 相似文献

In an effort to develop novel anti-tumor, or cancer chemopreventive agents, a series of 2',5'-dialkoxylchalcones were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of appropriate acetophenones with suitable aromatic aldehyde. In vitro screening revealed low micromolar activity (IC(50)) against several human cancer cell lines. Selective compound 10 induced an accumulation of A549 cells in the G(2)/M phase arrest which was well correlated with inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization. Cytotoxic compounds 3 and 12 showed significant inhibitory effects on NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells while cytotoxic compound 10 revealed potent inhibitory effect on TNF-alpha formation in RAW 264.7 cells in response to LPS. Compounds 3 and 10 also showed significant inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase. The present results suggested that compounds 3 and 10 were potential to be served as cancer chemopreventive agents. 相似文献

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a pivotal role not only in gene expression but also in DNA repair. Herein, we report the successful design, synthesis and evaluation of a chlorambucil derivative named vorambucil with a hydroxamic acid tail as a DNA/HDAC dual-targeting inhibitor. Vorambucil obtained both potent DNA and HDACs inhibitory activities. Molecular docking results supported the initial pharmacophoric hypothesis and rationalized the potent inhibitory activity of vorambucil against HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC6. Vorambucil showed potent antiproliferative activity against all the test four cancer cell lines with IC50 values of as low as 3.2–6.2 μM and exhibited 5.0–18.3-fold enhanced antiproliferative activity than chlorambucil. Vorambucil also significantly inhibits colony formation of A375 cancer cells. Further investigation showed that vorambucil remarkably induced apoptosis and arrested the cell cycle of A375 cells at G2/M phase. Vorambucil could be a promising candidate and a useful tool to elucidate the role of those DNA/HDAC dual-targeting inhibitors for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Inhibition of Germ Tube Formation by Candida albicans by Local Anesthetics: An Effect Related to Ionic Channel Blockade 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Rodrigues AA Pina-Vaz C Mårdh PA Martinez-de-Oliveira J Freitas-da-Fonseca A 《Current microbiology》2000,40(3):145-148
Formation of germ tubes by Candida albicans has been assumed as a putative virulence factor. Local anesthetics (LAs), e.g., lidocaine and bupivacaine, are known to inhibit
germ tube formation. The study confirmed this observation for the novel drug ropivacaine, although it was less potent than
the former two drugs. Hypothesizing that the effect is due to blockading ionic channels, we exposed Candida albicans to selective calcium blockers, i.e., nifedipine and verapamil, and to a general blocker of ionic channels, i.e., lanthanum.
All blockers inhibited germ tube formation. The effect was dose-dependent and pH-independent. Addition of calcium reverted
the effect of the blockers as well as the effect of lidocaine and ropivacaine. The study suggests that the inhibitory effect
of LAs on germ tube formation by C. albicans is due to blockade of ionic channels, particularly calcium channels. Therefore, LAs can affect morphology and probably also
the pathogenesis of C. albicans.
