Eleven phthalimide derivatives were evaluated with regards to their antiproliferative activity on tumor and normal cells and possible toxic effects. Cytotoxic analyses were performed against murine tumors (Sarcoma 180 and B-16/F-10 cells) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using MTT and Alamar Blue assays. Following, the investigation of cytotoxicity was executed by flow cytometry analysis and antitu...
The lapachol, one naphthoquinone natural, and its derivatives synthetic have demonstrated, in recent years, important actions cytotoxic against several lineages of tumor cells, well as signifier antitumoral activity against some tumors. Thus, the objective this work was to evaluate the mechanisms of action cytotoxic in cells HL-60 of two naphthoquinones synthetic analogous of lapachol (compounds 1 and 2). Initi...
