The article conveys some information:
Microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) remain a gold standard for the treatment of several cancer types. By interfering with microtubules dynamic, MTAs induce a mitotic arrest followed by cell death. This antimitotic activity of MTAs is dependent on the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which monitors the integrity of the mitotic spindle and proper chromosome attachments to microtubules in order to ensure accurate chromosome segregation and timely anaphase onset. However, the cytotoxic activity of MTAs is restrained by drug resistance and/or toxicities, and had motivated the search for new compounds and/or alternative therapeutic strategies. Here, we describe the synthesis and mechanism of action of the xanthone derivative pyranoxanthone 2 that exhibits a potent anti-growth activity against cancer cells. We found that cancer cells treated with the pyranoxanthone 2 exhibited persistent defects in chromosome congression during mitosis that were not corrected over time, which induced a prolonged SAC-dependent mitotic arrest followed by massive apoptosis. Importantly, pyranoxanthone 2 was able to potentiate apoptosis of cancer cells treated with nanomolar concentrations of paclitaxel. Our data identified the potential of the pyranoxanthone 2 as a new potent antimitotic with promising antitumor potential, either alone or in combination regimens.2-Iodobenzoic acid(cas: 88-67-5Category: iodides-buliding-blocks) was used in this study.
2-Iodobenzoic acid(cas: 88-67-5) belongs to organic iodides. Organic iodides are used in veterinary products (Organic Iodide Powder) as a nutritional source of iodine.Category: iodides-buliding-blocks In the chemical industry, alkyl iodides serve as excellent alkylating agents and, specifically, methyl iodide is used as a methylating agent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs.
