Comparative Study on The Preventive Effect of Saffron Carotenoids, Crocin and Crocetin, in NMU-Induced Breast Cancer in Rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Crocin (Cro) and crocetin (Crt) are two widely known saffron carotenoids, which exert anticancer effects by different mechanisms. Here, we investigated and compared the preventive effect of Cro and Crt at the initiation and promotion stages of breast cancer induction in an animal

Crocetin inhibits invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells via downregulation of matrix metalloproteinases.

Crocetin is a carotenoid dicarboxylic acid which, in nature, is esterified with glucose or gentiobiose units forming the crocins, abundant components of saffron (a spice with many reputed medicinal uses). We have previously reported that saffron, crocins and crocetin inhibit breast cancer cell

Crocetin and crocin decreased cholesterol and triglyceride content of both breast cancer tumors and cell lines

Objective: Inhibition of lipid metabolism in breast cancer has been suggested as an effective approach for cancer therapy. Saffron-derived crocetin (Crt) and crocin (Cro) with the known anticancer activity, have shown hypolipidemic effect

Isolation, purification and characterization of naturally derived Crocetin beta-d-glucosyl ester from Crocus sativus L. against breast cancer and its binding chemistry with ER-alpha/HDAC2.

Saffron plant (Crocus sativus L.) is being used as a source of saffron spice and medicine to cure or prevent different types of diseases including cancers. We report the isolation, characterization of bioactive small molecule ([crocetin (β-d-glucosyl) ester] from the leaf biowastes of saffron

Crocetin shifts autophagic cell survival to death of breast cancer cells in chemotherapy.

The chemotherapy with fluorouracil is not always effective, in which some breast cancer cells may survive the fluorouracil treatment through enhanced autophagy. Crocetin is the major constituent of saffron, a Chinese traditional herb, which has recently found to have multiple pharmacological

Anti-metastatic properties of a potent herbal combination in cell and mice models of triple negative breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

To determine the anti-metastatic potential of combinations of two bioactive carotenoids of saffron, crocin and crocetin, on 4T1 breast cancer and on a mice model of TNBC, and assess the effect of the most potent combination on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.The

Saffron carotenoids change the superoxide dismutase activity in breast cancer: In vitro, in vivo and in silico studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important member of the antioxidant defense system and is proposed as a therapeutic agent against the ROS-mediated diseases, and a therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Saffron carotenoids, crocin (Cro) and crocetin (Crt), are antioxidants with anticancer

Inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation by style constituents of different Crocus species.

Only registered users can translate articles

Among the different species of Crocus, only C. sativus has been extensively studied for the composition and the biological properties of its styles, since these constitute the well-known spice saffron, which is widely used in the Mediterranean, Indian and Chinese diet. With high performance liquid

Crocetin induces cytotoxicity and enhances vincristine-induced cancer cell death via p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the anticancer effect of crocetin, a major ingredient in saffron, and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Cervical cancer cell line HeLa, non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 and ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 were treated with crocetin alone or in combination with

A Comparative Study on Anti-Invasion, Antimigration, and Antiadhesion Effects of the Bioactive Carotenoids of Saffron on 4T1 Breast Cancer Cells Through Their Effects on Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway Genes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Crocus sativus L. (saffron) has been used as a spice and as a medicine for the past four thousand years. Recently, saffron has been well documented to possess anticancer effects on primary tumors. However studies of its antimetastatic potential are lacking. The present study is a comparative

Interaction of saffron carotenoids with catalase: in vitro, in vivo and molecular docking studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of saffron carotenoids, crocetin (Crt) and crocin (Cro) on the structure, function and kinetics of catalase (CAT) were investigated. Both Crt and Cro quenched the fluorescence emission of CAT through the dynamic mechanism, but Crt (Ksv= 8.1 × 10⁴ mol^-1) was more

Pre-conceptional maternal exposure to cyclophosphamide results in modifications of DNA methylation in F1 and F2 mouse oocytes: evidence for transgenerational effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cyclophosphamide (CPM), an agent widely used in breast cancer therapy, has strong gonadotoxic effects. Female reproductive potential after therapy relies on ovulated oocytes deriving from primordial follicles surviving CPM toxic insult. In this study, we investigated in the mouse model whether

Crocus sativus a natural food coloring and flavoring has potent anti-tumor properties.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Saffron, the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L., is a highly valued agricultural product that is used mainly as a food coloring and flavoring agent. Three main secondary metabolites of Crocus sativus including crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal are responsible for the color, the bitter
