Synergistic activity of sorafenib and betulinic acid against clonogenic activity of non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The highly selective multi-targeted agent sorafenib is an inhibitor of a number of intracellular signaling kinases with anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic effects in various types of tumors, including human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Betulin displays a broad spectrum of

Characterization of NVX-207, a novel betulinic acid-derived anti-cancer compound.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Development of betulinic acid derivatives for clinical use has been hampered by adverse pharmacological and physico-chemical characteristics of this class of compounds. We here present a novel semi-synthetic betulinic acid-derived drug candidate well suited for further clinical

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

Betulinic acid does not modulate the activity of P-gp/ABCB1 or MRP1/ABCC1 in a non-tumoral renal cell line: Possible utility in multidrug resistance cancer chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a multifactorial phenomenon considered to be the main cause of failure in cancer chemotherapy. One of the underlying mechanisms of MDR is the overexpression of membrane transporter proteins, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein

A 3D QSAR study of betulinic acid derivatives as anti-tumor agents using topomer CoMFA: model building studies and experimental verification.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid (BA) is a natural product that exerts its cytotoxicity against various malignant carcinomas without side effects by triggering the mitochondrial pathway to apoptosis. Betulin (BE), the 28-hydroxyl analog of BA, is present in large amounts (up to 30% dry weight) in the outer bark of

Proteomic investigation into betulinic acid-induced apoptosis of human cervical cancer HeLa cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that exhibits anticancer functions in human cancer cells. This study provides evidence that betulinic acid is highly effective against the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa by inducing dose- and time-dependent apoptosis. The apoptotic process was

Doxorubicin combined with betulinic acid or lonidamine in RGD ligand-targeted pH-sensitive micellar system for ovarian cancer treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Synergistic combination therapy involving the integration of chemotherapeutics and chemosensitizers into micelles has demonstrated great potential for tumor-specific location release. Here, the natural product betulinic acid (BA) and chemical drug lonidamine (LN) were used as chemosensitizers in

Multiple molecular targets in breast cancer therapy by betulinic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world, and is by far the most prevalent form of cancer in women. However, the efficacy of current treatments for breast cancer is limited. In addition to the high risk of recurrence, some of these have side effects that significantly

Lung Cancer Inhibition by Betulinic Acid Nanoparticles via Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate (ATP)-Binding Cassette Transporter G1 Gene Downregulation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Despite scientific advancement in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 5-year survival rate of lung cancer patients is around 15%. The present study explored the anticancer potential of betulinic acid nanoparticles against lung cancer cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS The proliferative changes in

Betulinic acid decreases ER-negative breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo: role of Sp transcription factors and microRNA-27a:ZBTB10.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid isolated from tree bark is cytotoxic to cancer cells. There is evidence that specificity proteins (Sps), such as Sp1, Sp3, and Sp4, are overexpressed in tumors and contribute to the proliferative and angiogenic phenotype associated with cancer cells.

Betulinic acid inhibits cell proliferation and migration in gastric cancer by targeting the NF-κB/VASP pathway

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant neoplasms of the digestive system, with China leading in terms of morbidity and mortality rates. Betulinic acid (BA) is a widely-occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid that has been reported to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and

Bis-arylidene oxindole-betulinic Acid conjugate: a fluorescent cancer cell detector with potent anticancer activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Molecules offering simultaneous detection and killing of cancer cells are advantageous. Hybrid of cancer cell-selective, ROS generator betulinic acid and bis-arylidene oxindole with amino propyl-linker is developed. With intrinsic fluorescence, the molecule exhibited cancer cell-specific residence.

The efficacy of betulinic acid in triple-negative breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The treatment of triple-negative breast cancer remains a daunting challenge with the standard-of-care treatments eventually failing due to acquired drug resistance, toxic side effects and the presence of a deregulated immune response. New treatments for overcoming these drawbacks include

New ionic derivatives of betulinic acid as highly potent anti-cancer agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulinic acid is a natural compound with high in vitro cytotoxicity toward many cancer cells. However, the poor water solubility of this compound hampers an effective in vivo cancer study. We prepared new ionic derivatives of betulinic acid with higher water solubilities, without losing the

Design, synthesis, and anti-tumor activity of novel betulinic acid derivatives.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seventeen new derivatives of betulinic acid (BA) with potential anti-tumor activity have been synthesized. In order to improve the bioactivity of BA, we connected BA and nitric oxide donors together via different linkers. The results of the biological activity of these derivatives showed that four
