The article was titled 《Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel thiazole-derivatives as mitochondrial targeting inhibitors of cancer cells》, and you may find the article in Bioorganic Chemistry.COA of Formula: C8H6BrN The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Mitochondria are pivotal energy production sources for cells to maintain necessary metabolism activities. Targeting dysfunctional mitochondrial features has been a hotspot for mitochondrial-related disease researches. Investigation with cancerous mitochondrial metabolism is a continuing concern within tumor therapy. Herein, we set out to assess the anti-cancer activities of a novel family of TPP-thiazole derivatives based on our earlier research on mitochondrial targeting agents. Specifically, we designed and synthesized a series of TPP-thiazole derivatives and revealed by the MTT assay that most synthesized compounds effectively inhibited three cancer cell lines (HeLa, PC3 and MCF-7). After structure modifications, we explored the SAR relationships and identified the most promising compound R13 (IC50 of 5.52μM) for further investigation. In the meantime, we performed ATP production assay to assess the selected compounds inhibitory effect on HeLa cells energy production The results displayed the test compounds significantly restrained ATP production of cancer cells. Overall, we have designed and synthesized a series of compounds which exhibited significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells and effectively inhibited mitochondrial energy production In the experiment, the researchers used 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide(cas: 17201-43-3COA of Formula: C8H6BrN)
4-Cyanobenzyl bromide(cas: 17201-43-3) is a white solid. Its melting point is 113-117°C, and flash point is 125.1°C. It is insoluble in water at 20°C. It is stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It should be stored at 0-5°C.COA of Formula: C8H6BrN
