Hypoxia in tumors contributes to chemotherapy resistance, worsened by acidosis driven carbonic anhydrases (
The therapeutic toxicity and resistance to currently available treatment options are major clinical challenges for the management of lung cancer. As a novel strategy, we synthesized analogues known flavonol, fisetin, which has shown anti-tumorigenic potential against cancer in cell culture with no adverse effects animal models. We studied synthetic fisetin their anti-cancer cells, mice efficacy xenograft model. Brominated were screened on viability A549 H1299 three (3a, 3b, 3c), showed...
