New 2-Aryl-1,4-naphthoquinone-1-oxime Methyl Ether Compound Induces Microtubule Depolymerization and Subsequent Apoptosis

In this study, we describe the antitumor activity of QO-1, one of the new 2-aryl-1,4-naphthoquinone-1-oxime methyl ether derivatives. QO-1 is a derivative of macarpine, a natural occurring product from Rutaceae plant. It could potently inhibit cell growth when tested on 19 cancer cell lines. To inve...
