Abstract
A series of novel β-carboline derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities in vitro against two human tumor cell lines. Most of the compounds showed moderate to potent cytotoxic activities against the tested cell lines, in which compound 12l exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activities against KB cell line (IC50 = 4.58 µM). Preliminary mechanism research on compound 12l indicated that it could inhibit DNA intercalation and tubulin polymerization.

Navigating the Frontier: Probiotics' Promising Path in Combatting Viral Respiratory Infections, Spotlight on Coronaviridae.
Probiotics, well-known for their role in gut health, show promise in preventing and managing respiratory virus infections, particularly in children and at-risk populations. However, the profound influence of novel pathogenic viral RTIs such as coronaviruses has reshaped perspectives on the potential of probiotics. Despite their potential, significant gaps remain in ...read more
