Novel indolyl-chalcone derivatives inhibit A549 lung cancer cell growth through activating Nrf-2/HO-1 and inducing apoptosis in vitro and in vivo

Abstract Increasing evidence indicates that Nrf-2, named the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor, may perform anticancer function. In this study, a series of novel substituted phenyl- (3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one (indolyl-chalcone) derivatives were synthesized and their effects on...
