“…In C6 glioma cells, GIT-27NO simultaneously upregulated JNK and ERK, whereas the activity of p38 was not affected. It was shown that strong activation of ERK1/2 in L929 cells induced by cisplatin led cells to apoptosis, and its suppression neutralized the antitumor potential of the drug (41). Therefore, up-regulated ERK1/2 could be the possible reason for preferential apoptosis of L929 cells on treatment with GIT-27NO.…”

Preclinical studies have shown that nitric oxide (NO) -donating nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs possess anticancer activities. Here, we report in vitro and in vivo studies showing the antitumor effect of the NO-donating isoxazole derivative (S,R)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid (GIT-27NO). GIT-27NO, but not the NOdeprived parental compound VGX-1027, significantly affected viability of both rodent (L929, B16, and C6) and human (U251, BT20, HeLa, and LS174) tumor cell lines. GIT-27NO triggered either apoptotic cell death (e.g., L929 cells) or autophagic cell death (C6 and B16 cells). Moreover, GIT-27NO hampered the viability of cisplatinresistant B16 cells. NO scavenger hemoglobin completely prevented GIT-27NO-induced death, indicating that NO release mediated the tumoricidal effect of the compound. Increase in intracellular NO upon on the treatment was associated with intensified production of reactive oxygen species, whereas their neutralization by antioxidant N-acetylcysteine resulted in partial recovery of cell viability. The antitumor activity of the drug was mediated by the selective activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in a cell-specific manner and was neutralized by their specific inhibitors. In vivo treatment with GIT-27NO significantly reduced the B16 melanoma growth in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. The therapeutic effect occurred at dose (0.5 mg/mouse) up to 160 times lower than those needed to induce acute lethality (80 mg/mouse). In addition, a dose of GIT-27NO five times higher than that found effective in the melanoma model was well tolerated by the mice when administered for 4 consecutive weeks. These data warrant additional studies to evaluate the possible translation of these findings to the clinical setting.

“…And only in cytokine-activated cells these effects is observable. On the other hand, the same authors 97 also reported that aloe-emodin (20 mM) can slightly reduce the cytotoxicity activity of cisplatin in murine fibrosacroma L929 and rat glioma C6 cells. The inhibition of ERK kinase was believed to be a protective effect.…”

Rhubarb has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times and today it is still present in various herbal preparations. In this review the toxicological and anti-neoplastic potentials of the main anthraquinones from Rhubarb, Rheum palmatum, will be highlighted. It is interesting to note that although the chemical structures of various anthraquinones in this plant are similar, their bioactivities are rather different. The most abundant anthraquinone of rhubarb, emodin, was capable of inhibiting cellular proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and prevention of metastasis. These capabilities are reported to act through tyrosine kinases, phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC), NF-kappa B (NF-kappaB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades. Aloe-emodin is another major component in rhubarb found to have anti-tumor properties. Its anti-proliferative property has been demonstrated to be through the p53 and its downstream p21 pathway. Our recent proteomic study also suggests that the molecular targets of these two anthraquinones are different. However, both components were found to be able to potentiate the anti-proliferation of various chemotherapeutic agents. Rhein is the other major rhubarb anthraquinone, although less well studied. This compound could effectively inhibit the uptake of glucose in tumor cells, caused changes in membrane-associated functions and led to cell death. Interestingly, all three major rhubarb anthraquinones were reported to have in vitro phototoxic. This re-evaluation of an old remedy suggests that several bioactive anthraquinones of rhubarb possess promising anti-cancer properties and could have a broad therapeutic potential.

The present study describes the synthesis and anticancer activity of novel octahedral Pt(IV) complexes with cyclohexyl functionalized ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate-type ligands. Molecular mechanics calculations and density functional theory analysis revealed that s-cis is the preferred geometry of these Pt(IV) complexes with tetradentate-coordinated (S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-(3-cyclohexyl)propanoate. The viability of cancer cell lines (U251 human glioma, C6 rat glioma, L929 mouse fibrosarcoma, and B16 human melanoma) was assessed by measuring mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity and lactate dehydrogenase release. Cell-cycle distribution, oxidative stress, caspase activation, and induction of autophagy were analyzed by flow cytometry using appropriate fluorescent reporter dyes. The cytotoxic activity of novel Pt(IV) complexes against various cancer cell lines (IC(50) range: 1.9-8.7 microM) was higher than that of cisplatin (IC(50) range: 10.9-67.0 microM) and proceeded through completely different mechanisms. Cisplatin induced caspase-dependent apoptosis associated with the cytoprotective autophagic response. In contrast, the new Pt(IV) complexes caused rapid, caspase-independent, oxidative stress-mediated non-apoptotic cell death characterized by massive cytoplasmic vacuolization, cell membrane damage, and the absence of protective autophagy.
