Hydrophosphination as a valuable tool to chiral diphosphines and their derivatives by Teo, Ronald Hong Xiang

“…Next, the synthesis of C-chiral diphosphines from naturally occurring curcumin and derivatives was attempted and the cytotoxicity of the diphosphine metal complexes was evaluated and compared against cisplatin and curcumin in the MKN74 and MCF7 cancer cell-lines. Lastly, the challenges associated with the generation of chiral phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide and their complexes were discussed in detail and an example of the catalytic property of the phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide metal complexes was illustrated.…”

Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”
