The effect of hydrazine derivatives of 3-formylchromones on angiogenic basic fibroblast growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 in human melanoma cell line WM-115

Abstract

The hydrazine derivatives of benzopyrones remain an unexplored group of chemical compounds. This preliminary study investigates the influence of A-5, CH-3 and K-2 derivatives at concentrations of 1, 10, 100 nM and 1 μM on selected biochemical factors of a melanoma cell line WM-115, with regard to their potential angiogenic properties. The studied compounds were found to influence cell proliferation, as well as total protein, bFGF and FGFR1 concentration.
