      Background: For several decades now an antagonism between Trypanosoma cruzi infection and tumor development has been detected. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remained basically unknown until our proposal that T. ...
    • Jaña Prado, Fabián (Universidad de Chile, 2012)
      Los cambios en la síntesis de ATP mitocondrial pueden afectar el desempeño de células tumorales, debido a que el primer paso de la glicólisis es dependiente del ATP mitocondrial que proviene de la fosforilación oxidativa. ...
    • Araya Maturana, Ramiro; Heredia Moya, Jorge; Donoso Tauda, Oscar; Vera Castillo, Mario Francisco; Toledo Hernández, Jorge; Pavani, Mario; Pessoa Mahana, Hernán; Weiss López, Boris; Ferreira Parker, Jorge (NATURAL PRODUCTS INC, 2008)
      A set of structurally related compounds incorporating a chromone moiety as an essential component of their structures were tested against the TA3 mouse carcinoma cell line and its multidrug-resistant variant TA3-MTX-R. A ...
    • Fuentes Retamal, Sebastián Andrés (Universidad de Chile, 2015)
      Estudios previos han demostrado que derivados del ácido gálico unidos a trifenilfosfonio mediante una cadena alifática de diez carbonos son efectivos agentes citotóxicos, desacoplando la cadena transportadora de electrones ...
    • Acevedo Arévalo, Luis (Universidad de Chile, 2011)
      En estudios anteriores se ha observado que algunas hidroquinonas, que poseen un núcleo naftaleno con la característica de tener el grupo hidroxilo conjugado con un sustituyente carbonilo, presentan actividad antitumoral. ...
    • Hasember Gijón, Gonzalo Andrés (Universidad de Chile, 2012)
      Se sintetizaron sales de fosfonio derivadas del ácido gálico con potencial actividad biológica, por medio de dos estrategias sintéticas. La primera ruta está compuesta de 3 pasos, donde la esterificación se realizó a través ...
    • Parra, Eduardo; Ferreira Parker, Jorge; Sáenz Iturriaga, Leonardo Enrique (2011)
      Previous studies suggest that the effects of Egr-1 on tumorigenesis are critically dependent on the levels of Egr-1 and the cellular context. For this reason, we examined the effects of blocking the Egr-1 activity by a ...
    • Pavani, M.; Fones, Elizabeth; Oksenberg Reisberg, Danny; García, Manuel; Hernández, Carolina; Cordano, Gianni; Muñoz, Sergio; Mancilla, Jerson; Guerrero, Aanibal; Ferreira Parker, Jorge (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 1994-11-16)
