The Structure And Cytotoxic Activity Of A New Saponin: Cephoside A From Cephalaria Elazigensis Var. Purpurea, Peyker Kayce, Nazli Boke Sarikahya, Murat Pekmez, Nazli Arda, Suheyla Kirmizigul

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Investigation of the aerial parts of Cephalaria elazigensis var. purpurea afforded one new oleanane-type saponin, namely cephoside A (1), and five known natural compounds (2-6). Compound 2, named anemoclemoside A, which is an unusual triterpene glycoside, was identified in the family Dipsacaceae for the first time. Chemical structures of all compounds were determined on the basis of the HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data. Cephoside A (1) and anemoclemoside A (2) were assessed for their cytotoxic activities against HeLa cells, having IC$_{50}$ values of 495 and 135 $\mu $g/mL, respectively.

Synthesis Of Novel 5-Substituted Phenyl-3-(P-Isopropylphenyl)-1-Phenylformazan And Their Biological Activities, Ayşe Şahi̇n Yağlioğlu, Hülya Şenöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Novel 1-substituted 3-(p-isopropylphenyl)-5-phenylformazans (3a--g) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, $^{1}$H NMR, and FT-IR techniques and UV-visible spectroscopy. Antiproliferative activities of 3a--g against HeLa and C6 cells were determined using the BrdU cell proliferation ELISA assay. 5-Florouracil was used as the positive control. The effects of substituents (--H, --CH$_{3}$, and --I) and their positions ($ortho$, $meta$, and $para$) on the antiproliferative activities were evaluated. The results of the assay indicate that I substituent exhibited higher activity against the cells at the $meta$ and $para$ positions than --CH$_{3}$ and --H substituents. 3a--g exhibited both high antiproliferative activities against C6 cells …
