Hypoxia enhances the antiglioma cytotoxicity of B10, a glycosylated derivative of betulinic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

B10 is a glycosylated derivative of betulinic acid with promising activity against glioma cells. Lysosomal cell death pathways appear to be essential for its cytotoxicity. We investigated the influence of hypoxia, nutrient deprivation and current standard therapies on B10 cytotoxicity. The human

Although betulinic acid (BA) is known to induce apoptosis and antiangiogenic response in tumor cells, the underlying mechanism of its action is unknown. Deregulation of tissue collagen metabolism is one of the consequences of neoplastic transformation. The final step of collagen degradation is

Betulinic acid alleviates myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation injury via inducing Nrf2/HO-1 and inhibiting p38 and JNK pathways.

Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (I/RI) can lead to acute myocardial infarction (MI), which is a common cardiovascular disease (CVD) leading to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Betulinic acid exerts protective effect on myocardial I/RI in rats; however, the mechanism remains unknown. The aim

Delphinidin prevents hypoxia-induced mouse embryonic stem cell apoptosis through reduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species-mediated activation of JNK and NF-κB, and Akt inhibition.

Delphinidin, gallic acid, betulinic acid, and ursolic acid, which are bio-active ingredients in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, have potent antioxidant activity and various biological activities. However, it is not clear whether these bio-active ingredients can significantly contribute

Suppression of STAT3 and HIF-1 alpha mediates anti-angiogenic activity of betulinic acid in hypoxic PC-3 prostate cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor that regulates various cellular processes such as cell survival, angiogenesis and proliferation. In the present study, we examined that betulinic acid (BA), a triterpene from the bark of white birch, had

A derivative of betulinic acid protects human Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells from cobalt chloride-induced acute hypoxic stress.

The Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of cells located above the choroid. It mediates human visual cycle and nourishes photoreceptors. Hypoxia-induced oxidative stress to RPE is a vital cause of retinal degeneration such as the Age-related Macular Degeneration. Most of these retinal

Betulinic acid hydroxamate prevents colonic inflammation and fibrosis in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease

Only registered users can translate articles

Intestinal fibrosis is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is defined as an excessive accumulation of scar tissue in the intestinal wall. Intestinal fibrosis occurs in both forms of IBD: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting

Suppression of HIF-1α accumulation by betulinic acid through proteasome activation in hypoxic cervical cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid (BA) exhibits various biological activities such as anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-human papilloma virus (HPV), and anti-cancer activities. HPV infection is associated with a high risk of cervical cancer, which is the leading cause of deaths among women worldwide. Therefore,

Combination of betulinic acid and chidamide inhibits acute myeloid leukemia by suppression of the HIF1α pathway and generation of reactive oxygen species.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disorder of the hematopoietic system with no common genetic "Achilles heel" that can be targeted. Most patients respond well to standard therapy, while a majority relapse, and development of an effective therapy for AML patients is still urgently

Betulinyl Sulfamates as Anticancer Agents and Radiosensitizers in Human Breast Cancer Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid (BA), a natural compound of birch bark, is cytotoxic for many tumors. Recently, a betulinyl sulfamate was described that inhibits carbonic anhydrases (CA), such as CAIX, an attractive target for tumor-selective therapy strategies in hypoxic cancer cells. Data on combined CAIX

Therapeutic effect of enhancing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and preventing eNOS uncoupling.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by the endothelium is an important protective molecule in the vasculature. It is generated by the enzyme endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). Similar to all NOS isoforms, functional eNOS transfers electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), via the
