摘要: The progression of cancer is accelerated by increased proliferation, angiogenesis, and inflammation. These processes are mediated leukotrienes. Several cell lines overexpress 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme that converts arachidonic acid into An early inhibitor the 5-lipoxygenase pathway Rev-5901, which, however, lacks in in vivo efficacy, as it rapidly metabolized. We investigated introduction carboranes highly hydrophobic metabolically stable pharmacophores lipoxygenase inhibitors. Carboranes icosahedral boron clusters remarkably used to increase metabolic stability unstable pharmaceutics without changing their biological activity. By meta-carborane first carborane-based was obtained. report synthesis inhibitory cytotoxic behavior these compounds toward several melanoma colon related anticancer mechanisms.
