DNA binding and Topoisomerase inhibition: How can these mechanisms be explored to design more specific anticancer agents?
Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Amélia Galdino Ribeiro,Geilza Carla de Lima Silva,Josival Emanuel Ferreira Alves,Eduardo Isidoro Carneiro Beltrão,Jamerson Ferreira de Oliveira,Luiz Bezerra de Carvalho,Maria do Carmo Alves de Lima +7 more
TL;DR: The present review aims at showing through distinct biological tests the performance of different candidates to anticancer drugs and their respective chemical modifications, which are crucial and/or determinant for DNA affinity and inhibition of important enzymes in cells' vital processe to either separately or synergistically optimize anticancer activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
COVID-19 therapy: What weapons do we bring into battle?
Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,José Cleberson Santos Soares,Keriolaine Lima dos Santos,Josival Emanuel Ferreira Alves,Amélia Galdino Ribeiro,Iris Trindade Tenório Jacob,Cindy Juliane da Silva Ferreira,Jéssica Celerino dos Santos,Jamerson Ferreira de Oliveira,Luiz Bezerra de Carvalho Júnior,Maria do Carmo Alves de Lima +11 more
TL;DR: In this review, the drugs that have been repurposed so far are grouped according to their chemical class to provide better understanding of their structural similarities and possible correlations with mechanisms of actions that can help identifying anti-SARS-CoV-2 promising therapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel indole-thiazole and indole-thiazolidinone derivatives as DNA groove binders
Josival Emanuel Ferreira Alves,Jamerson Ferreira de Oliveira,Túlio Ricardo Couto de Lima Souza,Ricardo Olímpio de Moura,Luiz Bezerra de Carvalho Júnior,Maria do Carmo Alves de Lima,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis of eight novel indole-thiazole derivatives, as well as their ability to interact with DNA, analysed through the UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity techniques and molecular docking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topoisomerase inhibition and albumin interaction studies of acridine-thiosemicarbazone derivatives.
Francivaldo Araújo da Silva Filho,Thais de Freitas Souza,Amélia Galdino Ribeiro,Josival Emanuel Ferreira Alves,Jamerson Ferreira de Oliveira,Túlio Ricardo Couto de Lima Souza,Ricardo Olímpio de Moura,Maria do Carmo Alves de Lima,Luiz Bezerra de Carvalho Júnior,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida +10 more
TL;DR: In silico studies showed that all derivatives used in this research displayed good oral bioavailability potential and protein-ligand interactions, as well as the antitopoisomerase potential of these compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Albumin roles in developing anticancer compounds
Amélia Galdino Ribeiro,Josival Emanuel Ferreira Alves,José Cleberson Santos Soares,Keriolaine Lima dos Santos,Iris Trindade Tenório Jacob,Cindy Juliane da Silva Ferreira,Jéssica Celerino dos Santos,Rafael David Souto de Azevedo,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Sinara Mônica Vitalino de Almeida,Maria do Carmo Alves de Lima +10 more
TL;DR: There is an increasing tendency to use albumin in analyses of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties of anticancer molecules, which further demonstrated the promising character of this investigation for proposing new drugs.
