Downregulation of DLL1 protein (a ligand of the Notch signaling pathway) decreases the carcinogenic properties of cancer cells from various human breast cancer subtypes in different manners. This study, developed by scientists from iBET, contributes to the knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the pathobiology of breast cancer and to the development of new therapies to target this disease.
In this publication we report on the design and synthesis of a library of twenty-six spirotriazoline oxindoles and their in vitro evaluation as potential anticancer agents. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was assessed against four different cancer cell lines (HCT-116 p53(+/+), HCT-116 p53(-/-), MCF-7, MDA-MB-231). Four spirotriazoline oxindoles showed selectivity against the four cancer cell lines tested over the non-cancer derived HEK 293T cell line.
