Front Cover: Synthesis, Computational Docking Study, and Biological Evaluation of a Library of Heterocyclic Curcuminoids with Remarkable Antitumor Activity (ChemMedChem 18/2018)
Abstract:The Front Cover shows the microscope slides of colorectal cancer cells (DLD‐1) treated with two new indole‐based heterocyclic curcuminoids bearing SCN substituents [3‐thiocyanato‐indole‐5‐curcuminoid–BF2 adduct (4‐BF2) on the left and (1E,4E,6E)‐5‐hydroxy‐1,7‐bis(3‐thiocyanoindole‐4)hepta‐1,4,6‐trien‐3‐one (5) on right] at 10 μM concentrations for 24 h. For comparison, the center slide shows cells treated with DMSO alone (control) for 24 h. Heterocyclic CUR‐BF2 compounds, such as indole‐4‐curcuminoid‐BF2 adduc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
