Pterocarpans represented the largest isoflavonoid class after isoflavones and recent studies have revealed that representatives of this group can act on specific targets of mitosis. This study evaluated the potential cytotoxic , genotoxic and mutagenic of the CP001 in tumoral and normal human cell lines. The inhibitory effect in Eg5 kinesin and quantum biochemistry calculation has been peformed as well. Cytotox...

Guanylhydrazones have shown promising antitumor activity in preclinical tumor models in several studies. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the cytotoxic effect of a series of synthetic guanylhydrazones. Different human tumor cell lines, by including HCT-8 (colon carcinoma), MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) and SF-295 (glioblastoma) were continuous exposed to guanylhydrazone derivatives for 72 hours and growth inhibiti...
Bauhinia purpurea (Fabaceae). Plants of the Bauhinia species (Fabaceae) are used in the treatment of several infections and diseases, especially diabetes. In this paper, with an aim to contribute to the knowledge of the chemistry and therapeutic potential of the Amazonian species of the genus Bauhinia, flavonoid profiles in the leaves and branches of Bauhinia purpurea collected in Manaus and São Gabriel da Cach...
Triterpenoids are compounds that in recent years have aroused considerable interest because of their structural diversity and the discovery of a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. This study evaluated the cytotoxic potential of four derivatives of a mixture of α-, β-amyrin in human tumor cell lines. Among these, only compound 3-O-α-Carboximaleinato of, β-amyrin (3a/3b) was active, especially in the l...
