Assessment of cytotoxic properties of tetrahydroisoquinoline oximes in breast, prostate and glioblastoma cancer cells
Autori: Antonio Zandona, Matea Jurić, Ludovic Jean, Pierre-Yves Renard, Maja Katalinić Sažetak radaTetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) oximes have been investigated as antidotes for poisoning by toxic organophosphorus compounds. Recent studies have shown that some THIQ oximes induce cytotoxic effects and trigger apoptosis in various cell types. Since this pathway activation is desirable for anticancer drugs, we further explored the …
