<P>Induction of apoptosis is a promising strategy that could lead to the discovery of new molecules active in cancer chemotherapy. This property is generally observed when cells are treated with agents that target microtubules, dynamic structures that play a crucial role in cell division. Small molecules such as benzo[b]furans are attractive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. A new class of inhibitors of tubulin polymerization based on the 2-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzoyl)benzo[b]furan molecular skeleton, with the amino group placed at different positions on the benzene ring, were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity, inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and cell-cycle effects. The methoxy substitution pattern on the benzene portion of the benzo[b]furan moiety played an important role in affecting antiproliferative activity. In the series of 5-amino derivatives, the greatest inhibition of cell growth occurred if the methoxy substituent is placed at the C6 position, whereas C7 substitution decreases potency. The most promising compound in this series is 2-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-methyl-5-amino-6-methoxybenzo[b]furan (3 h), which inhibits cancer cell growth at nanomolar concentrations (IC(50) =16-24 nM), and interacts strongly with tubulin by binding to the colchicine site. Sub-G(1) apoptotic cells in cultures of HL-60 and U937 cells were observed by flow cytometric analysis after treatment with 3 h in a concentration-dependent manner. We also show that compound 3 h induces apoptosis by activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9, and this is associated with cytochrome c release from mitochondria. The introduction of an α-bromoacryloyl group increased antiproliferative activity with respect to the parent amino derivatives.</P>

Gene polymorphisms involved in homocysteine- methionine pathway result in hyperhomocysteinemia, a predisposing condition to several diseases. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in folate and homocysteine metabolism. The two known functional polymorphisms of MTHFR gene, 677C>T and 1298A>C have been implicated in a variety of multifactorial diseases: cardio-cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune diseases, birth defects, diabetes, neuropsychiatric disorders, cancer and renal disease. C667T, and to a lesser extent A1298C polymorphisms, have been also reported to have a pharmacogenetic role in predicting drug toxicity in cancer and rheumatoid arthritis treatment. We review here the principal effects of the MTHFR gene variations in different clinical conditions.
