Abstract
Several successful applications of differentiating agents in leukemic diseases, led to a regained interest in differentiation therapy. In this report we focus on novel classes of natural and synthetic compounds, which were not extensively reviewed and have a promising potential as anticancer agents e.g. protein kinase analogues, butyric acid, vitamin D-3 and purine and pyrimidine derivatives. The biological activities, preclinical and clinical studies of these agents are described.
