BACKGROUND
Colon cancer is the most aggressive form of cancers, that causes 0.5 million deaths per year around the globe. Targeting colon cancer by conventional therapeutic options elicits toxicity. Traditional medicines take lead to alleviate the existing clinical challenges.
OBJECTIVE
To
In this study we compared the in vitro antiproliferative activity of extracts from medicinal plants toward human tumor cell lines, including human erythromyeloid K562, B-lymphoid Raji, T-lymphoid Jurkat, erythroleukemic HEL cell lines. Extracts from Emblica officinalis were the most active in
Mango is rich in bioactive absorbable polyphenols, but also contains considerable amounts of unabsorbable gallotannins at varying degrees of polymerization. Gallotannins are not absorbable upon consumption and have rarely been considered in the discussion of health benefits of polyphenols.
Background: Colon cancer is aggressive and it causes 0.5 million deaths per year. Practicing natural medicinesfor cancer treatment is safer than conventional drugs. World health organization emphasizes on the importance ofpracticing natural medicines and developing natural product based drugs for
3α-Methoxyserrat-14-en-21β-ol (PJ-1) and 3β-methoxyserrat-14-en-21β-ol (PJ-2) were conjugated with well-known phenolic compounds, narigenin, hesperetin, genistein, and daidzein (1-8). Other conjugates of PJ-2-3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (9), PJ-2-pyrogallol (10), and derivatives of PJ-1,
Neoplasms affecting different subsections of the large bowel appear to have different risk factors. For the major type of neoplastic disease in the large bowel, that in the descending and sigmoid colon, a good association with nutrition and specific nutritional elements has been found. The risk of
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that serve as second messengers for intracellular signaling. Currently, precise roles of individual ROS in the actions of TNF-alpha remain to be elucidated. In this report, we investigated the roles of superoxide anion
The two stage model of carcinogenesis postulates that agents which lead to tumor formation are either initiating or promoting agents. Initiating agents induce chemical modifications of DNA. Promoting agents have been assumed to induce cell proliferation and thereby establish a milieu in which the
Green tea and its major active constituent, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are in clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of several diseases such as cancer. DNA topoisomerase (topo) poisons are commonly prescribed anticancer drugs that kill cancer cells by inducing topo-DNA
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GMCSF), a therapeutically important cytokine that helps in the proliferation of macrophages, was recombinantly expressed in E. coli BL21 and purified as a GST-tagged protein. Cell viability assay demonstrated significant enhancement in proliferation
Phytochemicals present in plants are more effective than their individual constituents in preventing cancer through synergetic effects. From this perspective, Shemamruthaa, a herbal formulation was evaluated with a view to potentiate more intense anticancer property. This study investigates the
Epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption of green tea provides protection against stomach cancer. Fractionation of green tea extract, guided by antiproliferative activity against human stomach cancer (MK-1) cells, has resulted in the isolation of six active flavan-3-ols,
The inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase (RR) of intact Ehrlich ascites tumor cells by different antitumor agents was compared using EPR spectroscopy. The inactivation of M2 subunit was measured via quenching of the functionally essential tyrosine radical. Inhibitors of different classes, for
Emblica officinalis Gaertn. or Phyllanthus emblica Linn, commonly known as Indian gooseberry or amla, is arguably the most important medicinal plant in the Indian traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda. Various parts of the plant are used to treat a range of diseases, but the most important is
A series of 21 tobacco smoke components and related compounds werere applied to mouse skin (50 female ICR/Ha Swiss mice/group) three times weekly with a low dose (5 mug/application) of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). The test compounds were of five classes: aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons,
