Indole in the target-based design of anticancer agents: A versatile scaffold with diverse mechanisms.

TL;DR: The present article aims to review the current application of indole core in the design of new anticancer agents that may act via various targets such as histone deacetylases, sirtuins, PIM kinases, DNA topoisomerases and σ receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive review of topoisomerase inhibitors as anticancer agents in the past decade.

TL;DR: This review summarizes types of topoisomerase inhibitors in the past decade, and divides them into nine classes by structural characteristics, including N-heterocycles compounds, quinone derivatives, flavonoids derivatives, coumarin derivatives, lignan derivatives, polyphenol derivatives, diterpenes derivatives, fatty acids derivatives, and metal complexes.

Small Molecule Inhibitor of Mitotic Spindle Bipolarity Identified in a Phenotype-Based Screen

TL;DR: In vitro, monastrol specifically inhibited the motility of the mitotic kinesin Eg5, a motor protein required for spindle bipolarity, and will therefore be a particularly useful tool for studying mitotic mechanisms.
