Antibacterial fluoroquinolones have emerged as potential anticancer drugs, thus prompting the synthesis of novel molecules with improved cytotoxic characteristics. Ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin derivatives, previously synthesized by our group, showed higher potency than their progenitors. However, no information about mechanisms action was reported. In this study, we selected most active among these promising evaluated, on a panel breast (including those triple-negative) bladder cancer cell...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anticancer/antibacterial strategy in which photosensitizers (PSs), light, and molecular oxygen generate reactive species induce cell death. PDT presents greater selectivity towards tumor cells than conventional chemotherapy; however, PSs have limitations that prompted the search for new molecules featuring more favorable chemical-physical characteristics. Curcumin its derivatives been used PDT. However, low water solubility, rapid metabolism, interference...
