catharanthus/breast neoplasms

Medicinal plants can be candidate as a common alternative for cancer treatment according to natural landscaping and native plants in each country. The aim of this study was the evaluations of cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest induction by using seven leaves extracts of Catharanthus

Three new dimeric indole alkaloids (1-3), together with five known ones (4-8), were isolated from the whole plants of Catharanthus roseus. The structures and absolute configurations of new compounds were elucidated by means of NMR and CD analyses. All these compounds were evaluated for their in

Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) were previously described as regulators of plant cell division. Here, we demonstrated the ability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and graphene to enhance biomass production in callus culture of the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus cultivated in dark

BACKGROUND Traditional medicine plays a critical role in treatment of chronic debilitating and life threatening conditions and diseases. Cancer is one such condition whose therapeutic intervention is commonly through inexpensive traditional herbal remedies. Increasingly industrialised societies are

BACKGROUND The anticancer properties of Apocynaceae species are well known in barks and roots but less so in leaves. METHODS In this study, leaf extracts of 10 Apocynaceae species were assessed for antiproliferative (APF) activities using the sulforhodamine B assay. Their extracts were also analyzed
