Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) dual water and ion channels enhance migration and invasion when upregulated in leading edges of certain classes of cancer cells. Work here identifies structurally related furan compounds as novel inhibitors of AQP1 ion channels. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5HMF), a component of

Apple brandies, alcoholic spirits produced in the west of France, as well as other types of alcoholic beverage (rums, whiskies, armagnacs, cognacs) were tested for mutagenicity on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 in the plate-incorporation assay in the presence or the absence of rat-liver S9.

From the roots of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (Brassicaceae) have been isolated and identified 2 flavonolignans, tricin 4'-O-[threo-β-guaiacyl-(7″-O-methyl)-glyceryl] ether (1) and tricin 4'-O-(erythro-β-guaiacyl-glyceryl) ether (2), along with 11 other known compounds, tricin (3), pinoresinol (4),

Furfural is used as a precursor for the manufacture of furan, furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, and their derivatives and as an industrial solvent. Furfural is also present in numerous processed food and beverage products. NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering

The compound 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-dioxide (tirapazamine, TPZ) is a clinically promising anticancer agent that selectively kills the oxygen-poor (hypoxic) cells found in solid tumors. It has long been known that, under hypoxic conditions, TPZ causes DNA strand damage that is initiated by

Phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes confer amelioration of risk arising from potentially carcinogenic chemicals derived both endogenously, and exogenously, from food and the environment. In this study, efforts were made to isolate and identify potentially cancer preventive constituents from

BACKGROUND Upper digestive endoscopy with biopsy and histopathological evaluation of the biopsy material is the standard method for diagnosing gastric cancer (GC). However, this procedure may not be widely available for screening in the developing world, whereas in developed countries endoscopy is

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the protective effect of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF) on acute alcohol-induced liver oxidative injury in mice. 5-HMF, a maillard reaction product, was isolated from the fruits of Schisandra chinensis for animal experiments. Experimental ICR mice were

Distilled liquid smoke (DLS) is a result of coconut processing by-product that not only serves as a natural food preservative but also has a promising therapeutic effect. The healing potential of DLS derived from coconut (Cocos nucifera L) shell was investigated

Fifteen compounds approved by the FEMA (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association) expert panel as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) and structurally related compounds have been reported to be carcinogenic in rodent studies. The dose response of the 15 compounds in these studies was scrutinized

Tumor initiating potential was tested for eight pyrolysates of carbohydrates in a two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model using 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as the promoter. The pyrolysates were levoglucosan (LG-I), levoglucosenone (LG-II), furfural (FF), 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfural

1. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Metabolomics has been shown to be a promising strategy to elucidate the underlying pathogenesis of cancer and identify new targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, is a

Starting from furfural, 5-hydroxy-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones and 5-hydroxy-4 chloro-2(5H)-furanone were converted into 3 sublibraries of halogenated 5-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanones. The reactivity of 24 halogenated 5-alkoxy2(5H)-furanones was chemically evaluated by using 4 selected amines for subsequent

Metal(II)-(furfural-L-his) complexes with a potentially bidentate furfural-L-his have been synthesized. Furfural-L-his and its Co/Ni/Cu/Zn(II)-(furfural-L-his) complexes have been optimized by DFT. The structural features were determined from their elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic,

Genus Miliusa (family Annonaceae), widely distributed in mainland Asia and Australia to New Guinea, has been employed in both traditional herbal uses and pharmacological medicines. Original research articles related to this genus are now available, but
