OCA14. Characteristics of the author's contribution
OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.n this study, the effects of benzocamalexin on tumor (IC50 = 23.3-30.1 μM) and non-tumor cells (IC50> 100.0 μM) were studied. Benzocamalexin caused blockade in the G2 phase of the cell cycle in tumor cells associated with decreased expression of α-tubulin, α1-tubulin, β5-tubulin, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of benzocamalexin is mediated by inhibition of microtubule formation. In addition, it reduced the expression of the microtubule-related protein required for microtubule assembly. These changes subsequently led to apoptosis accompanied by decreased expression of the anti-apoptotic genes Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and overexpression of proapoptotic Bax and DNA fragmentation.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishUncontrolled angiogenesis is a major contributor to a number of disease states. It is also considered a key step in tumour growth, invasion, and metastasis. Therefore, modulation of angiogenesis is considered as therapeutic strategies of great importance for human health. Numerous bioactive plant compounds are recently tested for their antiangiogenic potential. Among the most frequently studied are polyphenols present in fruits and vegetables. This review focuses on the antiangiogenic properties of flavonoids and chalcones and examines underlying mechanisms.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceMany currently used drugs have been created by structural modification of natural substances, which play an important role in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer. Despite advances in the diagnosis and development of new treatments, cancer is one of the most common causes of death. Their current therapy is associated with a number of side effects, which is related to its non-selective action. For this reason, scientific teams are trying to find new compounds with lower toxicity and a better therapeutic response. This article discusses a possible mechanism of antiproliferative action of camalexin.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processGeneral pharmacology also includes the development of new drugs, including preclinical drugs. This issue is part of the pharmacology syllabus. The work enables medical and doctoral students to gain at least a simplified view of the complexity of the process of finding new compounds with potential antiproliferative effect in the basic preclinical screening phase in in vitro experiments at the cellular and subcellular level.
