Abstract
A novel triazole nucleoside analogue was discovered to exhibit potent anticancer activity in prostate cancer cells via down-regulating heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and related heat shock proteins, along with the consequential inhibition of androgen receptor (AR) expression and transactivation, arresting the cell cycle in AR-governed phase. This triazole nucleoside therefore constitutes a novel structural paradigm and potential drug candidate for prostate cancer through inhibition of HSF1 and AR.
Keywords: Androgen receptor, anticancer activity, heat shock proteins, heat shock factor 1, nucleoside analogues, prostate cancer.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
