Catechins and antitumor immunity: Not MDSC's cup of tea.

Only registered users can translate articles

Numerous laboratory and clinical studies have reported that the green tea catechin extract Polyphenon E exert anticancer activity, but the underlying mechanism of action was elusive. We have recently shown that Polyphenon E exerts antineoplastic effects by antagonizing tumor-induced myeloid derived

Reading the tea leaves: anticarcinogenic properties of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Green tea is an extremely popular beverage worldwide. Derivatives of green tea, particularly (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), have been proposed to have anticarcinogenic properties based on preclinical, observational, and clinical trial data. To summarize, clarify, and extend current

Cancer preventive mechanisms of the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Accumulating evidence indicates that consumption of tea, especially green tea, is good for preventing cancer. To elucidate the cancer preventive mechanisms of green tea, much effort has been devoted to investigating the anticancer effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major component

Drink your prevention: beverages with cancer preventive phytochemicals.

Specific alimentary habits, including oriental and Mediterranean diets characterized by high consumption of vegetables, fruits, cereals and, for the Mediterranean diet, olive oil, are associated with a reduction of risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and

Natural Polyphenols and their Synthetic Analogs as Emerging Anticancer Agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyphenols are a structural class of natural and synthetic organic chemicals which contain phenol units. Numerous epidemiological, preclinical and clinical studies have strongly supported their benefical effects for human health. Polyphenols group include molecules of utterly different complexity

Antitumor activity of the tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate encapsulated in targeted vesicles after intravenous administration.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The therapeutic potential of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol with anticancer properties, is limited by its inability to specifically reach tumors following intravenous administration. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a tumor-targeted vesicular

Potent antimutagenic activity of white tea in comparison with green tea in the Salmonella assay.

Only registered users can translate articles

There is growing interest in the potential health benefits of tea, including the antimutagenic properties. Four varieties of white tea, which represent the least processed form of tea, were shown to have marked antimutagenic activity in the Salmonella assay, particularly in the presence of S9. The

Anticarcinogenic effects of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Our research objective is to develop nontoxic cancer chemopreventive agents and to apply these agents in treating humans. We are identifying agents that inhibit the process of tumor promotion in two-stage carcinogenesis experiments on mouse skin. METHODS We review (a) the inhibitory

Antitumor activity of novel fluoro-substituted (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate analogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Epidemiological studies support the cancer-preventive effects of green tea and its main constituent (-)-epigallocatechin gallate [(-)-EGCG], however, (-)-EGCG is unstable under physiological conditions. Here we report that two novel fluoro-substituted (-)-EGCG analogs inhibited tumor growth with

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity induced by DNA vaccination.

Only registered users can translate articles

Immunotherapy and chemotherapy are generally effective against small tumors in animal models of cancer. However, these treatment regimens are generally ineffective against large, bulky tumors. We have found that a multimodality treatment regimen using DNA vaccination in combination with

Green tea and anticancer perspectives: updates from last decade.

Only registered users can translate articles

Green tea is the most widely consumed beverage besides water and has attained significant attention owing to health benefits against array of maladies, e.g., obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer insurgence. The major bioactive molecules are epigallocatechin-3-gallate,

Design, semisynthesis, and evaluation of O-acyl derivatives of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate as antitumor agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

The partially purified catechin fraction isolated from green tea extract was treated with a variety of acylating agents (acyl anhydrides/chloride) to obtain (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) O-acyl derivatives in 20-25.4% yields. The (-)-EGCG O-acyl derivatives were characterized by physical

Improvement of idarubicin induced antitumor activity and bone marrow suppression by theanine, a component of tea.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have examined the effect of theanine, a specific amino acid in green tea, on idarubicin (IDA)-induced antitumor activity and toxicity. In combination with theanine, IDA (0.25 mg/kg per day x4 days, a dose that does not show antitumor activity) had significant antitumor activity in P388-bearing

Effect of dihydrokainate on the antitumor activity of doxorubicin.

Only registered users can translate articles

For biochemical modulation, components of green tea have been shown to be useful modulators in combination with doxorubicin (DOX). We have confirmed that theanine enhances the antitumor activity of DOX due to inhibition of DOX efflux from tumor cells. Because theanine is a glutamate analogue, we

Antitumor effect of a combination of lysine, proline, arginine, ascorbic acid, and green tea extract on pancreatic cancer cell line MIA PaCa-2.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Current treatment of pancreatic cancer is generally associated with poor prognosis, even if diagnosed early, owing to its aggressive rate of metastasis and non-responsiveness to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have received much attention in recent years
