Investigation of the synergistic effects of paclitaxel and herbal substances and endemic plant extracts on cell cycle and apoptosis signal pathways in prostate cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paclitaxel, which isolated from Taxus brevifolia, is recently started to be used against prostate cancer treatment and it is a very effective compound against cancer. In this study, we aimed to test the synergistic effect of two plant active compounds (sulphoraphane (SFN) and silymarin (SILY)) and

Targeted tumor therapy by Rubia tinctorum L.: analytical characterization of hydroxyanthraquinones and investigation of their selective cytotoxic, adhesion and migration modulator effects on melanoma cell lines (A2058 and HT168-M1).

BACKGROUND Alizarin and purpurin are di- and trihydroxyanthraquinones derived from Rubia tinctorum L. Previous pharmacological studies have demonstrated that they exhibit certain degree of selective inhibitory effects towards cancer cells suggesting their application as a targeted drug for cancer.

A pH-responsive natural cyclopeptide RA-V drug formulation for improved breast cancer therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

The natural plant cyclopeptide RA-V, which was isolated from the roots of Rubia yunnanensis, was discovered to be a novel anti-cancer candidate. However, the cyclic hexapeptide exhibited poor solubility in physiological conditions, limiting its application for cancer therapy in vivo. To solve this

In vivo anti-cancer activity of RC-18: a plant isolate from Rubia cordifolia, Linn. against a spectrum of experimental tumour models.

Only registered users can translate articles

Anti-tumour activity of RC-18, a pure isolate from Rubia cordifolia was repeatedly tested in different sets of experiments on a spectrum of experimental murine tumours, viz. P388, L1210, L5178Y, B16 melanoma, Lewis lung carcinoma and sarcoma-180. RC-18 exhibited significant increase in life span of

2D- and 3D-QSAR studies on 54 anti-tumor Rubiaceae-type cyclopeptides.

Only registered users can translate articles

RA-VII, a bicyclic hexapeptide isolated from the roots of Rubia cordifolia, Rubia akane belongs to Rubiaceae-type cyclopeptides (RAs) and has attracted much attention for its potent anti-tumor activity and its bicyclic structure incorporating the isodityrosine moiety. In this work, hologram

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Rubia tinctorum extract and evaluation the anti-cancer properties in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cancer is one of the leading causes of human death. Nanotechnology could offer new and optimised anticancer agents in order to fight cancer. It was shown that metal nanoparticles, in particular silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were effective in cancer therapy. In this study, AgNPs were synthesised using

FFJ-3 inhibits PKM2 protein expression via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and activates the mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathway in human cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pyruvate kinase isoenzyme M2 (PKM2) has previously been identified as a tumor biomarker and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. In the present study, FFJ-3, a structurally modified version of mollugin, an extract of the Traditional Chinese herbal medicine Rubia tinctorum

Apoptosis induction and G2/M arrest of 2-methyl-1,3,6-trihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone from Rubia yunnanensis in human cervical cancer Hela cells.

2-Methyl-1,3,6-trihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (MTA), one of the major components isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rubia yunnanensis, exhibited inhibitory activity on the proliferation of several human cancer cell lines. The results from an annexin V-FITC (fluoresein-5-isothiocyanate)

Mollugin induces tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/p70S6K and ERK signaling pathways.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mollugin, a bioactive phytochemical isolated from Rubia cordifolia L., has shown preclinical anticancer efficacy in various cancer models. However the effects of mollugin in regulating cancer cell survival and death remains undefined. In the present study we found that mollugin exhibited

RA-XII, a bicyclic hexapeptidic glucoside isolated from Rubia yunnanensis Diels, exerts antitumor activity by inhibiting protective autophagy and activating Akt-mTOR pathway in colorectal cancer cells

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The roots of Rubia yunnanensis Diels (Chinese name 'Xiao-Hong-Shen'), a traditional Chinese medicine native to Yunnan province (China), have a long history of use for treating several diseases, such as

Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis arrests colorectal neoplasm growth and metastasis: Anti-cancer therapeutical effects of natural cyclopeptide RA-XII.

Only registered users can translate articles

Emerging evidence has shown that metabolism, in particular the synthesis of fatty acids, has great significance for growth and metastasis of colorectal neoplasm. The previous results showed that RA-XII, a natural cyclopeptide isolated from Rubia yunnanensis, inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by

Mollugin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis by suppressing fatty acid synthase in HER2-overexpressing cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mollugin is a naphthohydroquine found in the roots of Rubia cordifolia, and has been reported to have a variety of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and apoptotic effects. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which mollugin exerts anti-tumor effect in

Mollugin Has an Anti-Cancer Therapeutic Effect by Inhibiting TNF-α-Induced NF-κB Activation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The NF-κB signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating the immune response and inflammation. However, it has been shown that NF-κB also has a major role in oncogenesis. Therefore, NF-κB inhibitors have been considered as potential drugs against cancer. Herein, we searched for NF-κB

Involvement of Nrf2-mediated upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 in mollugin-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in human oral cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although previous studies have shown that mollugin, a bioactive phytochemical isolated from Rubia cordifolia L. (Rubiaceae), exhibits antitumor effects, its biological activity in oral cancer has not been reported. We thus investigated the effects and putative mechanism of apoptosis induced by
