abstract = {Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a group of
molecules with an ambiguous background in literature. PBDEs
were first isolated from marine sponges of Dysidea species
in 1981 and have been under continuous research to the
present day. This article summarizes the two research
aspects, (i) the marine compound chemistry research dealing
with naturally produced PBDEs and (ii) the environmental
toxicology research dealing with synthetically-produced
brominated flame-retardant PBDEs. The different bioactivity
patterns are set in relation to the structural similarities
and dissimilarities between both groups. In addition, this
article gives a first structure–activity relationship
analysis comparing both groups of PBDEs. Moreover, we
provide novel data of a promising anticancer therapeutic
PBDE (i.e.,
4,5,6-tribromo-2-(2′,4′-dibromophenoxy)phenol; termed
P01F08). It has been known since 1995 that P01F08 exhibits
anticancer activity, but the detailed mechanism remains
poorly understood. Only recently, Mayer and colleagues
identified a therapeutic window for P01F08, specifically
targeting primary malignant cells in a low µM range. To
elucidate the mechanistic pathway of cell death induction,
we verified and compared its cytotoxicity and apoptosis
induction capacity in Ramos and Jurkat lymphoma cells.
Moreover, using Jurkat cells overexpressing antiapoptotic
Bcl-2, we were able to show that P01F08 induces apoptosis
mainly through the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.},
