Resveratrol inhibits the growth of tumor cells under chronic stress via the ADRB‑2‑HIF‑1α axis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol that is abundantly present in knotweed and grapes, and has been confirmed to have tumor‑inhibitory properties. However, the effect of resveratrol on tumor cells under chronic stress conditions remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that

Amplexicaule A exerts anti-tumor effects by inducing apoptosis in human breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chemotherapy is the main treatment for patients with breast cancer metastases, but natural alternatives have been receiving attention for their potential as novel anti-tumor reagents. Amplexicaule A (APA) is a flavonoid glucoside isolated from rhizomes of Polygonum amplexicaule D. Don var. sinense

Suppression of growth and invasive behavior of human prostate cancer cells by ProstaCaid™: mechanism of activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Since the use of dietary supplements as alternative treatments or adjuvant therapies in cancer treatment is growing, a scientific verification of their biological activity and the detailed mechanisms of their action are necessary for the acceptance of dietary supplements in conventional cancer

Resveratrol derivatives increase cytosolic calcium by inhibiting plasma membrane ATPase and inducing calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum in prostate cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Resveratrol (RES) is a putative chemotherapeutic naturally found in grapes, peanuts, and Japanese knotweed. Previous studies demonstrate that RES modulates calcium signaling as part of its chemotherapeutic activity. In this study, we determined the chemotherapeutic activity of three RES esters that

Biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using anjbar (root of Persicaria bistorta) extract and their cytotoxic effects on human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7).

Only registered users can translate articles

Biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using biomass is now one of the best methods for synthesising NPs due to their nontoxic and biocompatibility. Plants are the best choice among all biomass to synthesise large-scale NPs. The objectives of this study were to synthesise zinc oxide nanoparticles

Evaluation of Polygonum bistorta for anticancer potential using selected cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

The chloroform and hexane fractions and their sub-fractions of Polygonum bistorta (Polygonaceae) were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against P338 (Murine lymphocytic leukaemia), HepG2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma), J82 (Bladder transitional carcinoma), HL60 (Human leukaemia), MCF7 (Human breast

Chemical composition of total flavonoids from Polygonum amplexicaule and their pro-apoptotic effect on hepatocellular carcinoma cells: Potential roles of suppressing STAT3 signaling.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polygonum amplexicaule D. Don var. sinense Forb (P. amplexicaule) is a medical plant traditionally used in the treatment of malignant diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the scientific basis underlying its anti-HCC activity remains poorly understood. Here, we explored the chemical

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of active ingredients from Chinese drugs for activating blood circulation and detoxicating, including notoginseng saponins (drug 1), Coptis chinensis (drug 2), giant knotweed rhizome (drug 3) and rhubarb (drug 4), on blood lipids and inflammatory reaction of aortic

In Vitro Comparison of the Bioactivities of Japanese and Bohemian Knotweed Ethanol Extracts.

Only registered users can translate articles

Knotweed is a flowering plant that is native to temperate and subtropical regions in the northern hemisphere. We evaluated Japanese (Reynoutriajaponica Houtt.) and Bohemian (Fallopiaxbohemica) knotweed rhizome and flower ethanol extracts and compared them in terms

Emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative triggers mitochondrial-dependent cell apoptosis involving in caspase-8-mediated Bid cleavage.

Only registered users can translate articles

AMAD, an emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative, was extracted from the nature giant knotweed rhizome of traditional Chinese herbs. Here, we investigated the anticancer activities and signaling pathways implicated in AMAD-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-453 and human

Blockade of Her2/neu binding to Hsp90 by emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative induces proteasomal degradation of Her2/neu.

Only registered users can translate articles

Overexpression of HER2/neu, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase acting as a coreceptor for other EGFR family members, is well-known to be associated with a poor prognosis in cancer. In the present study, we observed that emodin AMAD, a novel emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative, extracted from

Total flavonoids, extracted from Polygonum knotweed L, exert beneficial hepatoprotection against liver injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatic function is of great concern in metabolic and immunological homeostasis. Traditionally, medical management to liver damage may benefit from phytomedicine, such as Chinese herbs. In southern China, Polygonum perfoliatum L can contribute to alleviating pathological symptoms of liver disease,

Biological activity of piceatannol: leaving the shadow of resveratrol.

Only registered users can translate articles

Resveratrol (3,4',5-trans-trihydroxystilbene), a naturally occurring stilbene, is considered to have a number of beneficial effects, including anticancer, anti-aethrogenic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and estrogenic activity. Piceatannol (3, 3', 4, 5'-trans-trihydroxystilbene),
