PhD STUDIES

Topics of PhD studies currently carried out in our laboratory:
  • In vitro metabolic transformations responsible for activation and detoxication of antitumor derivatives of imidazo- and triazoloacridinone.
  • Effect of antitumor acridine and acridinone derivatives on the level, enzymatic activity and expression of enzymes metabolising anticancer drugs.
  • Effect of expression of metabolising enzymes on cellular response following treatment with imidazoacridinone derivatives.
  • Effect of antitumor imidazoacridinone C-1311 on cell cycle and type of cellular response in non-small lung cancer A549 and breast cancer MCF-7 cells.
  • Effects of 4 methyl-1-nitroacridine C-1748 on induction of oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitotic catastrophe, autophagy and senescence in tumor cells.
