alpha tomatine/adenocarcinoma

This study first investigates the anti-metastatic effect of alpha-tomatine in the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line: A549. In this study, we first noted alpha-tomatine inhibited A549 cells invasion and migration by wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber assay. The data also showed alpha-tomatine

BACKGROUND Alpha-tomatine (α-tomatine) is the major saponin in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). This study investigates the chemopreventive potential of α-tomatine on androgen-independent human prostatic adenocarcinoma PC-3 cells. RESULTS Treatment of highly aggressive human prostate cancer PC-3

In recent years, α-tomatine has been studied for its anticancer activity. In the present study, we focused on the cytotoxic effect of α-tomatine in the MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, its mechanism of action, biotransformation and stability in the culture medium. We observed an

α-Tomatine, isolated from Lycopersicon esculentum Linn., is a naturally occurring glycoalkaloids in immature green tomatoes. Some reports demonstrated that α-tomatine had various anti-carcinogenic properties. First, the result demonstrated α-tomatine could inhibit TPA-induced the abilities of the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anticancer effect of alpha-tomatine (i.p.) either alone or in combination with doxorubicin (i.v.) in a mouse tumour model. METHODS We studied the effect of repeated alpha-tomatine (0.1 - 9 mg/kg) and/or doxorubicin (2 mg/kg) on the growth and mitotic activity of the solid
