Polymeric nanogels containing the triphosphate form of cytotoxic nucleoside analogues show antitumor activity against breast and colorectal cancer cell lines.

abstract：:We discovered a thalidomide analogue [5-hydroxy-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (5HPP-33)] with antiproliferative activity against nine cancer cell lines in vitro. Flow cytometric analyses showed that the compound caused G2-M arrest, which occurred mainly at the mitotic phase. In addition, immunofluores...
