Toward drug repurposing in epigenetics: olsalazine as a hypomethylating compound active in a cellular context.

abstract：:Two series of racemic goniothalamin analogues displaying nitrogen-containing groups were designed and synthesized. A total of 19 novel analogues were evaluated against a panel of four different cancer cell lines, along with the normal prostate cell line PNT2 to determine their selectivity. Among them, goniothalamin ch...
