    Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel indole-benzimidazole hybrids targeting estrogen receptor alpha (ER-?)
    (Elsevier Masson SAS, 2018) Singla R.; Gupta K.B.; Upadhyay S.; Dhiman, Monisha; Jaitak V.
    In the course of efforts to develop novel selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), indole-benzimidazole hybrids were designed and synthesised by fusing the indole nucleus with benzimidazole. All the compounds were first inspected for anti-proliferative activity using ER-? responsive T47D breast cancer cell lines and ER-? binding assay. From this study, two representative bromo substituted compounds 5f and 8f were found to be most active and thus were escalated for gene expression studies for targeting ER-?. Cell imaging experiment clearly suggest that compounds were able to cross cell membrane and accumulate thus causing cytotoxicity. RT-PCR and Western blotting experiments further supported that both compounds altered the expression of mRNA and receptor protein of ER-?, thereby preventing the further transactivation and signalling pathway in T47D cells lines. Structural investigation from induced fit simulation study suggest that compound 5f and 8f bind in antagonistic conformation similar to bazedoxifene by extensive hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces. All these results strongly indicate that compound 5f and 8f represents a novel potent ER-? antagonist properties and will proved promising in the discovery of SERM for the management of breast cancer.

    Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) targeting estrogen receptor a: - An in-vitro and in-silico mechanistic study
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Sharma R.; Jaitak V.
    Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the tissue of the breast, grow and divide without normal control. Breast cancer is second major cause for death in world wide. Importance of natural product increase due to adverse effect of existing synthetic drugs. Asparagus racemosus comprises phytoestrogens which can be used for the treatment of breast cancer. In the current study, In vitro antiproliferative activity of the extracts of A. racemosus is performed in T47D cancer cell lines. Outcomes of the result indicated that aqueous methanol and methanol extract showed excellent antiproliferative activity as compared to bazedoxifene (standard), ethyl acetate and petroleum ether extract. In silico study of reported phytochemical constituents of A. racemosus was performed for understand the molecular mechanism and prospect pharmacophore development. Furthermore, compound 26 (rutin) which has been earlier reported and isolated from alcoholic extract exhibited the remarkable binding profile with estrogen receptor ?. For that reason, our study proposed that A. racemosus could be used as a new source for the treatment of breast cancer.
