flavonol/悪性腫瘍

Flavonoids are a large class of polyphenolic compounds ubiquitously distributed in dietary plants with an array of biological activities. Flavonols are a major sub-class of flavonoids featuring a hydroxyl group at C-3. Certain natural flavonols, such as quercetin and fisetin, have been shown by in

The serine-threonine kinase CK2, which targets over 300 cellular proteins, is overexpressed in all cancers, presumably reflecting its ability to promote proliferation, spread, and survival through a wide range of complementary mechanisms. Via an activating phosphorylation of Cdc373, a co-chaperone

The consumption of vegetables containing the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol reduces the risk of cancer. We utilized human gut (HuTu-80 and Caco-2) and breast cancer cells (PMC42) to show the synergistic effect of quercetin and kaempferol in reducing cell proliferation. A trend in reduction of

BACKGROUND Urinary homovanillic acid (HVA) measurement is used routinely as a marker of the first test for the screening of catecholamine-secreting tumors and dopamine metabolism, but generates a large number of false-positive results. With no guidelines for dietary restrictions prior to the test,

BACKGROUND In the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study, we showed inverse associations between flavonols and pancreatic cancer risk. OBJECTIVE We aimed to define a food pattern associated with intakes of quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin; to examine the association of that pattern with pancreatic

Dietary-derived agents, such as the flavonoids, are of particular interest for prostate cancer (PCa) chemoprevention as they may offer a favourable safety and side-effect profile. An agent that demonstrates action on the androgen receptor (AR) axis may have value for preventing or treating

A library of flavonol analogues was synthesised and evaluated as potential anticancer agents against a human prostate cancer cell line, 22rν1. Compounds 3, 8 and 11 (IC(50) 2.6, 3.3 and 4.0 μM respectively) showed potent cancer cell growth inhibition, comparable to the lead compound

BACKGROUND Flavonoids have physiological activity and a variety of pharmacological properties, including anticancer activity in vitro, but structure-anticancer activity relationships are unclear. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this work were to investigate the activity of dietary flavonol congeners

Tea is an important dietary source of flavonols in countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Japan. Flavonols may have beneficial health effects because of their antioxidant properties and their inhibitory role in various stages of tumor development in animal studies. The association

Laboratory and animal studies suggest that dietary flavonols may reduce breast cancer risk but there are limited epidemiological studies. We computed flavonol intakes from dietary data collected by validated food frequency questionnaires in 1991 and 1995 from 90,630 women in the Nurses Health Study

Flavonols comprise a group of flavonoid molecules that are widely distributes in fruits and vegetables. There is epidemiological data to suggest that consumption of flavonols can be accompanied by decreased cancer incidence. The anti-oxidant activity of flavonols may have an important role in

The relationship of i-motif DNAs with cancer has prompted the development of specific ligands to detect and regulate their formation. Some plant flavonols show unique fluorescence and anti-cancer properties, which suggest the utility of the theranostics approach to cancer therapy related to i-motif

Triple negative human breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer subtype with poor prognosis. Besides the better-known artemisinin, Artemisia annua L. contains numerous active compounds not well-studied yet. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array and mass

Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an endogenous agent that induces apoptosis selectively in cancer cells. Soluble or expressed in immune cells, TRAIL plays an important role in the defense against tumour cells. The resistance of cancer cells to TRAIL immune
