Alves, Celso; Silva, Joana; Afonso, Marta B; Guedes, Romina A.; Guedes, Rita C.; Alvariño, Rebeca; Pinteus, Susete; Gaspar, Helena; Goettert, Márcia I.Nature has revealed to be a key source of innovative anticancer drugs. This study evaluated the antitumour potential of the marine bromoditerpene sphaerococcenol A on different cancer cellular models. Dose-response analyses (0.1-100 µM; 24 h) were accomplished in eight different tumour cell lines (A549, CACO-2, HCT-15, MCF-7, NCI-H226, PC-3, SH-SY5Y, SK-MEL-28). Deeper studies were conducted on MFC-7 cells, nam...
Bromoditerpenes from the red seaweed Sphaerococcus coronopifolius as potential ...
Alves, Celso; Silva, Joana; Pintéus, Susete; Guedes, Romina A.; Guedes, Rita C.; Alvariño, Rebeca; Freitas, Rafaela; Goettert, Márcia I.; Gaspar, HelenaSeaweeds are a great source of compounds with cytotoxic properties with the potential to be used as anticancer agents. This study evaluated the cytotoxic and proteasome inhibitory activities of 12R-hydroxy-bromosphaerol, 12S-hydroxy-bromosphaerol, and bromosphaerol isolated from Sphaerococcus coronopifolius. The cytotoxicity was evaluated on malignant cell lines (A549, CACO-2, HCT-15, MCF-7, NCI-H226, PC-3, SH-...
