Cancer is one of the major leading causes of death worldwide. Designing the new anticancer drugs is remained a challenging task due to ensure complexicity of cancer etiology and continuosly emerging drug resistance. Glycolipid biosurfactants are known to possess various biological activities including antimicrobial, anticancer and antiviral properties. In the present study, we sought to decipher the mechanism of action of the glycolipids (lactonic-sophorolipd, acidic-sophorolipid, glucolipid, and bolalipid) against cancer cells using lung cancer cell line (A549), breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB 231), and mouse skin melanoma cell line (B16F10). Scratch assay and fluorescence microscopy revealed that glycolipids inhibit tumorous cell migration possibly by inhibiting actin filaments. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis exhibited that lactonic sophorolipid and glucolipid both induced the reactive oxygen species, altered the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) and finally led to the cell death by necrosis. Furthermore, combinatorial effect of lactonic-sophorolipd and glucolipid demonstrated synergistic interaction on A549 cell line whereas additive effect on MDA-MB 231 and B16F10 cell lines. Our study has highlighted that lactonic-sophorolipd and glucolipid could be useful for developing new anticancer drugs either alone or in combination.

The synthesis, characterization and photodynamic therapy activity of a novel metal free phthalocyanine (complex 3), with or without silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), are reported. The in vitro photodynamic activity of this complex was investigated using metastatic melanoma cancer cell line. In the presence of different concentrations of complex 3 or 3 in combination with silver nanoparticles, the viability of the cells showed a concentration dependent decrease upon irradiation with red light. The photodynamic activity of complex 3 showed an increase in the presence of the AgNPs. Although complex showed a high degree of aggregation in water, it still demonstrated reasonable potency towards the melanoma cancer cell line.

Background: Cancer is a fatal disease for mankind; continuous research is still going on for the invention of potent anticancer drugs. In this view, 1, 3, 4-Oxadiazoles are privileged molecules which attracted medicinal chemists towards their anticancer properties. Methods: A new series of benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)-5-(substituted)-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives was synthesized in an efficient ‘one-pot’ nitro reductive cyclization using sodium dithionite as a cyclizing agent by a conventional method with good yield. All the structures of the synthesized molecules were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, HRMS and Mass spectral analysis. Anticancer activity screening against A375 melanoma cancer cell line and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line along with antimicrobial activity were carried out using agar well diffusion method. Results: Compounds 8a and 8j of the series emerged as potent anticancer agents against A375 melanoma cancer cell line with IC50 47.06 µM and 36.76 µM, respectively. In silico studies also revealed that compounds 8a and 8j showed highest interaction with 2OH4 protein of VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase. Substantial antibacterial and antifungal activities against the tested microorganism were observed for compounds 8j and 8g. Conclusion: Potent anticancer property has been observed with 1,3,4-Oxadiazole linked tetrafluro substituted benzene ring 8j indicating that future research on these type of molecules can be continued to improve the anticancer activity.
