Abstract
A fluorescent analog of ET-18-OCH3, 1-O-(7’-N,N-dimethylamino-3’-pentadecanoyl-1’-naphthyl)-2-O-methyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine (1), was synthesized and its bioactivity was screened against 12 human cancer cell lines. The bioactivity of 1 was found to differ markedly from that of ET-18-OCH3. Growth of two prostate cell lines (PC3 and DU145) and a glioma cell line (U251) was significantly affected by 1, with IC50 values of 2, 6, and 12 µM, respectively. Compound 1 was cytotoxic to PC3 cells by caspasedependent apoptosis. The subcellular distribution of 1 differed from that reported for a phenyl-polyene analog of ET-18-OCH3; 1 was found to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes but not in the plasma membrane or nucleus of PC3 cells. However, no differences in accumulation of 1 were found between PC3 and cells that were not affected by the compound, implying that the selective PC3 cytotoxicity is a consequence of specific molecular components of PC3 cells.
Keywords: Antitumor ether lipids, edelfosine, fluorescent alkylphospholipid analog, naphthol-edelfosine, PC3 cells, selective toxicity.

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
