Seminar in the Department of Life Sciences on the toxic effects and apoptosis
Tuesday، 31 December 2024
The Department of Life Sciences at the College of Science organized a panel discussion presented by Assistant Lecturer Abeer Irfan Adnan entitled:
"Cytotoxic Effects and Apoplastic Cell Death of Tin (IV) Complexes Containing a Chef's Base Derived from Cephalexin on the Breast Cancer Cell Line".
The panel examined a recent study focused on the synthesis of new mineral compounds and the evaluation of their toxic effect on human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and normal skin cells (HDFn). The results showed the ability of synthetic organic tin compounds to effectively inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells, with the debutyl derivative showing higher anti-cancer activity compared to other derivatives.
The study also indicated that high-content screening (HCS) technology revealed a significant decrease in the vitality of MCF-7 cells, reflecting the effectiveness of the compounds in inducing apoptosis.
The panel discussion concluded with positive interaction from the attendees who praised the importance of this type of research in developing innovative treatments against cancer.
