Aberrant N-glycolylneuraminic acid in breast MCF-7 cancer cells and cancer stem cells
N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is not normally detected in humans because humans lack the hydroxylase enzyme that converts cytidine-5′-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) to CMP-Neu5Gc; thus, any Neu5Gc appearing in the human body is ...

New 3-Cyano-2-Substituted Pyridines Induce Apoptosis in MCF 7 Breast Cancer Cells
The synthesis of new 3-cyano-2-substituted pyridines bearing various pharmacophores and functionalities at position 2 is described. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-cancer activities on five cancer cell lines using 5-FU as

Assessment of the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of homosalate in MCF‐7
AbstractBackgroundUV filters should be determined a strict toxicological safety prior to approval. Homosalate (HMS) is one of the most widely used organic UV filter. HMS accumulates in aquatic biota ecosystems and humans through the food chain; therefore, it is important to consider the effects on health and know its mechanisms of action.AimsThe study ...
