The natural compound Alizarin as an osteotropic drug for the treatment of bone tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Despite significant clinical improvements, conventional therapies for bone cancer treatment are limited by significant systemic toxicity and lack of specific targeting. In this study, we considered Alizarin, a natural hydroxyanthraquinone derived from madder root with high affinity to calcium and

Modulatory role of alizarin from Rubia cordifolia L. against genotoxicity of mutagens.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rubia cordifolia L. (Rubiaceae) is an important medicinal plant used in the Ayurvedic medicinal system. Its use as a traditional therapeutic has been related to the treatment of skin disorders and cancer. Besides its medicinal value, anthraquinones from this plant are used as natural food colourants

A Boronic Acid Assay for the Detection of Mucin-1 Glycoprotein from Cancer Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cell surface glycoproteins are commonly aberrant in disease and act as biomarkers that facilitate diagnostics. Mucin-1 (MUC1) is a prominent example, exhibiting truncated glycosylation in cancer. We present herein a boronic acid microplate assay for sensitive and high-throughput detection of such

[Effects of serum containing Fructus Cnidii and Psoralea corylifolia on highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231BO and bone marrow stromal cell line ST-2].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of different proportions of Fructus Cnidii (Shechuangzi) and Psoralea corylifolia (Buguzhi) on highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231BO and bone marrow stromal cell line ST-2 in vitro. METHODS Thirty-six female SD rats were randomly divided into 6

Targeted tumor therapy by Rubia tinctorum L.: analytical characterization of hydroxyanthraquinones and investigation of their selective cytotoxic, adhesion and migration modulator effects on melanoma cell lines (A2058 and HT168-M1).

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Alizarin and purpurin are di- and trihydroxyanthraquinones derived from Rubia tinctorum L. Previous pharmacological studies have demonstrated that they exhibit certain degree of selective inhibitory effects towards cancer cells suggesting their application as a targeted drug for cancer.

Carcinogenic potential of alizarin and rubiadin, components of madder color, in a rat medium-term multi-organ bioassay.

Only registered users can translate articles

Madder color (MC), a food coloring extracted from roots of Rubia tinctorum L., has been proven to exert carcinogenicity in the rat kidney and liver. Furthermore, it induces DNA adducts in the kidney, liver, and colon. MC is in fact composed of anthraquinones such as lucidin-3-O-primeveroside and

Synthesis and antitumor activities of novel α-aminophosphonate derivatives containing an alizarin moiety.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of novel α-aminophosphonate derivatives containing an alizarin moiety (6-7) was designed and synthesized as antitumor agents. MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay results indicated that most compounds exhibited moderate to high inhibitory activity

Synergistic effect of graphene oxide and zoledronic acid for osteoporosis and cancer treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a third generation bisphosphonate which can be used as a drug for the treatment of osteoporosis and metastasis. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) is conjugated with ZOL, and the nanostructured material is evaluated in terms viability, proliferation and differentiation.

Platycarya strobilacea leaf extract inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α production and bone loss induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Remodeling of alveolar bone is controlled by osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-induced bone formation. LPS of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major causative agent of periodontitis, produces proinflammatory cytokines in host immune cells, which thereby triggers

A small nuclear acidic protein (MTI-II, Zn2+-binding protein, parathymosin) attenuates TNF-α inhibition of BMP-induced osteogenesis by enhancing accessibility of the Smad4-NF-κB p65 complex to Smad binding element.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pro-inflammatory cytokines prevent bone regeneration in vivo and activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling has been proposed to lead to suppression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-induced osteogenesis via direct binding of p65 to Smad4 in vitro. Application of a small nuclear acidic

The effects of cyclophosphamide, melatonin and carvedilol on neural tube and skeletal system of mice fetuses in prenatal period.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cyclophosphamide (CP) as an alkylating agent is used for treatment of cancer and to prevent rejection of tissue transplantation. There are many reports that the teratogenic effects of cyclophosphamide can be prevented by application of antioxidant drugs and stimulation of the maternal immune system.

Antiretroviral activities of anthraquinones and their inhibitory effects on reverse transcriptase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alizarin complexone (AC), alizarin Red S (ARS) and various other anthraquinones were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on Rous-associated virus 2 reverse transcriptase (RAV-2 RT). Some 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinones were active against this enzyme and AC was the most potent inhibitor among these

Establishment of a cell line with phenotypes of chondrocyte from a human osteogenic sarcoma of the mandible.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have succeeded in transplanting a human osteogenic sarcoma of the mandible into athymic mice. The transplanted tumor showed marked chondrogenesis and mineralization. Recently, a cell line (USAC) with phenotypes of chondrocyte has been established from the transplanted tumor. USAC cells were

Greek plant extracts exhibit selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)-like properties.

Only registered users can translate articles

To prevent bone loss that occurs with increasing age, nutritional and pharmacological factors are needed. Traditional therapeutic agents (selective estrogen receptor modulators or SERMs, biphosphonates, calcitonin) may have serious side effects or contraindications. In an attempt to find food

Parthenolide Has Negative Effects on In Vitro Enhanced Osteogenic Phenotypes by Inflammatory Cytokine TNF-α via Inhibiting JNK Signaling

Only registered users can translate articles

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) regulates inflammatory gene expression and represents a likely target for novel disease treatment approaches, including skeletal disorders. Several plant-derived sesquiterpene lactones can inhibit the activation of NF-κB. Parthenolide (PTL) is an abundant sesquiterpene
