Growth inhibitory dioxonaphthoimidazoliums related to YM155: Synthesis and mechanistic investigations
by Sherman, Ho Si Han, Ph.D., National University of Singapore (Singapore), 2015, 212; 10006013
Abstract (Summary)
YM155 is a dioxonaphthoimidazolium analog with potent growth inhibitory activities on a variety of cancer cell lines. Although initially reported as a suppressor of survivin, its specificity has been queried with concerns raised over its purported DNA damaging activity. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that a detailed understanding of the mode of action of YM155 would promote the development of dioxonaphthoimidazolium analogs as a promising class of anti-cancer therapeutics.
