A kutatási téma leírása:
In our earlier studies several chalcone and cyclic chalcone analogues showed cancer cell cytotoxic effect. On the other hand, they showed structure-dependent antioxidant (cytoprotective) effect as well. Cytotoxic effect of related α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are frequently associated with their expected reactivity with the essential thiol groups in the living organisms Earlier results indicated that the investigated chalcones can react with reduced glutathione (GSH) even in spontaneous reaction. In the framework of the present program we are planning to investigate the kinetics and stereochemistry of the addition reactions by UV-Vis and HPLC methods. The kinetics of formation and the diasteromeric ratio of the chalcone-GSH adducts will be studied in the presence of GST enzyme as well.
