mirabilis jalapa/悪性腫瘍

Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) isolated from Mirabilis jalapa L. (MJ protein) leaves showed high cytotoxic effect on malignant. Chitosan nanoparticles have frequently been used in protein delivery applications. The aim of this study was to develop targeted drug delivery system of RIP MJ for

Ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) from Mirabilis jalapa L. leaves has cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cell lines but is less toxic towards normal cells. However, it can easily be degraded after administration so it needs to be formulated into nanoparticles to increase its resistance to

A variety of bacteria have been used as agents and vectors for antineoplastic therapy. A series of mechanisms, including native bacterial toxicity, sensitization of the immune system and competition for nutrients, may contribute to antitumor effects. However, the antitumor effects of Proteus species

A protein was purified from root tubers of Mirabilis jalapa to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose CL-6B and FPLC on Mono-S column. The purified protein was confirmed to be Mirabilis antiviral protein (MAP). However, in addition to its antiviral property, the MAP was

Six previously undescribed flavonoids, 2S-5-methoxy-6-methyl-7,2'-dihydroxyflavanone, 5,7,2'-trihydroxy-6-methylflavone, 5,7,6'-trihydroxy-6-methylcoumaronochromone, 2,4',6'-trihydroxy-2'-methoxy-3'-methylchalcone, 6R,11-dimethoxy-9-hydroxyrotenoid, and 6R,11-dimethoxy-9-hydroxy-10-methylrotenoid,

Bioactivity-guided study led to the isolation of a natural phenylpropionate derivative, (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-propenoic acid 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl ester from the roots of Mirabilis himalaica. Cellular analysis showed that compound 1 specifically inhibited the cancer cell growth

Mirabilis Jalapa Linn. is a widely used traditional medicine in many parts of the world for the treatment of various diseases viz. virus inhibitory activity, anti tumour activity. It is claimed in traditional medicine that the leaves of the plant are used in the treatment of inflammation. In the

BACKGROUND The roots of Mirabilis himalaica have been used in Tibetan folk medicine for treatment of uterine cancer, nephritis edematous, renal calculus and arthrodynia. In our previous work, the ethanol extract of roots had shown potent cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. However, no

The biological activity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from Proteus mirabilis smooth and rough strains was investigated. The tested endotoxins (differing in polysaccharide chain lenght) were isolated from wild S1959 strain as well as from its rough mutants Ra and Re. Induction of tumor

We described for the first time an alkaline encrusting cystitis in a patient with the acquired immune deficiency. This is an entity characterized by severe dysuria and long standing urinary frequency, alkaline urine and radiographically visible calcification of the urinary bladder. It has been

This study aimed to analyze the proinflammatory cytokine mRNA expression in the urinary tract of BALB/c mice infected with bacterial strains with uropathogenic potential. Groups of four 6-week-old female BALB/c mice were intraurethrally inoculated with 5 × 10⁷ colony-forming units (CFU)

Members of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family of transcription factors have regulatory control over numerous processes related to cell fate determination, including differentiation, proliferation, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In mammals, abnormalities in the expression of some
