Novel chalcone derivative for cancer treatment
Researchers of the Medical University of Vienna have identified highly
active synthetic chalcones derived from the chalcone scaffold. These
cytotoxic compounds were found and developed by modifying the
chalcone lead structure concurrent with in vitro tests to evaluate their
cytotoxic potential in different cancer cell lines. Compounds were
thoroughly tested regarding their efficacy in inhibiting proliferation and
viability in cancer cell lines of the hematopoietic system. The combination of the new chalcone compound with the targeting agents, Idelalisib and Ibrutinib, which are novel compounds in the treatment of hematological malignancies, displayed higher cytotoxicity on CLL cells than Idelalisib and Ibrutinib alone.
