Activation of Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Expression by Some New Symmetrical Bis-Substituted Derivatives of the Anthraquinone
13 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
As a part of our program aimed at exploring the biological activity of symmetrical substitution of side chains into the anthracene-9,10-dione chromophore, we have synthesized a series of 1,5-bisthioanthraquinones 2 and 1,5-bisacyloxyanthraquinones 3 that are related to the antitumor agent mitoxantrone. Since the telomerase enzyme is a novel target for potential anticancer therapy and stem cell expansion, we...
