Abstract
The study used rat glioma C6 cell line (ATCC®; cat no CCL-107), U-87MG cell line (ATCC; cat no. HTB-14™) and human glioblastoma T98-G cells (ATCC® CRL-1690™). Cell culture method, experimental pharmacological trials and γ-radiation in vitro, as well as flow cytofluorometry were used in the study. Cytotoxic effect of the tested compounds is stronger than the effect of unsubstituted fascaplysin, and appears to be dose-dependent and time-dependent. 3-bromofascaplysin is more efficient for cancer cells elimination, and by the end of the experiment the amount of living cancer cells in G0 phase remained at its lowest. Cytotoxic effect of 3-bromofascaplysin on glioblastoma T98-G cells is inferior to that of TMZ, and in case of preliminary radiation treatment of cancer cells with 48Gy the effect of the compound matches the TMZ treatment results. 3-Bromofascaplysin is a prospective chemical compound for development of new anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
