TL;DR

The Cu(II)-flavonoid combination demonstrates significant anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, and anti-metastatic properties in colorectal cancer cells, while exhibiting lower cytotoxic effects in normal colon cells.

Modulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions in prostate cancer: potential for novel therapeutics development

Research in the area of hallmarks of cancer has opened the possibility of designing novel therapeutic interventions based on modulating cancer properties. Interestingly, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), important in both tumour growth and metastasis, has not been targeted in prostate cancer (PCa). Previousl...

Molecular functional evaluation of novel c-myc targeting anticancer compounds in non-small cell lung cancer and colon cancer cells

The c-Myc protein is a key regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Its overexpression or dysregulation is linked to several cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we described ECD, a novel small molecule targeting c-Myc, which disrupts the c-Myc/MA...

Pharmacological inhibition of CDK7 and CDK9 suppresses gastrointestinal (colon) cancer progression through modulation of stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and chemoresistance.

GNE-3511 exerts potent anticancer activity by disrupting CDK7/9-dependent transcriptional programs that regulate proliferation, apoptosis, stemness, EMT, and multidrug resistance and is identified as a potential lead candidate for the treatment of colorectal cancers.
