The promising antitumor effects of progesterone derivatives have been identified in many studies. However, the specific mechanism action this class compounds has not fully described. Therefore, study, we investigated antiproliferative and (anti)estrogenic activities novel pentacyclic benzylidenes series. were evaluated on hormone-dependent MCF7 breast cancer cells using MTT test. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) activity was assessed by a luciferase-based reporter assay. Immunoblotting used to...

Metformin, a biguanide antidiabetic drug, is used to decrease hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Recently, the epidemiological studies revealed potential of metformin as an anti-tumor drug for several types cancer, including breast cancer. Anti-tumor action was found be mediated, at least part, via activation adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)—intracellular energy sensor, which inhibits mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) and some other signaling pathways....

Most breast and prostate tumors are hormone-dependent, making it possible to use hormone therapy in patients with these tumors. The design of effective endocrine drugs that block the growth have no severe side effects is a challenge. Thereupon, synthetic steroids promising therapeutic for treatment diseases such as hormone-dependent cancers. Here, we describe novel series steroidal pyrimidines dihydrotriazines anticancer activities. A flexible approach unknown pyrimidine dihydrotriazine...
