Characterization of novel natural compound derivatives with cancer-selective cytotoxicity (RNA-seq dataset 1)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent and lethal cancer in the world. Current therapeutic approaches are still not fully successful, yet cause numerous and severe side effects for the patient. We screened chemically synthesized derivatives from two natural compounds (a-Mangostin and Paeonol) as potential novel chemicals that increase cancer cell selectivity over non-transformed human cells. We found two of them that efficiently induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human cancer cells and organoids derived from tumor tissue without affecting the viability of human non-cancer cells and intestinal organoids derived from healthy tissue. Our findings increase the knowledge about cancer-specific compounds and propose two natural compound derivatives as potential novel chemotherapeutics.
