Substituted adamantylphthalimides: Synthesis, antiviral and antiproliferative activity
AbstractIn this study, three groups of adamantylphthalimides, bearing different substituents at the phthalimide moiety, N‐(4′‐R2)phthalimidoadamantanes (1–7), 3‐[N‐(4′‐R2)phthalimido]‐1‐adamantanols (8–10), and 3‐[N‐(4′‐R2)phthalimido]adamantane‐1‐carboxylic acids (11–15), were synthesized and screened against tumor cells and viruses.

Antiproliferative Activity of IL-27 on Melanoma [PDF]
Abstract IL-27 is a member of the IL-6/IL-12 family and activates both STAT1 and STAT3 through its receptor, which consists of WSX-1 and gp130. We previously demonstrated that IL-27 has potent antitumor activities, which are mediated through CD8+ T cells, NK cells, or its own antiangiogenic activity. In this study, we demonstrate that IL-
