pinus/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND So far, the anticancer action of pine tree extracts has mainly been shown for the species distributed widely around the Asian countries. OBJECTIVE Therefore, this study was performed to examine the potential cytotoxicity of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) native also to the European

The side effects and inefficiency of paclitaxel (PTX) in clinic have been became a major problem for cancer chemotherapy. The local drug delivery constructed by injectable hydrogel has been suggested as the alternative due to its superior properties such as tumor selectivity, minimally invasive

In the present study, we investigated the anticancer activity of Pinus radiata bark extract (PRE) against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. First, we observed that PRE induces potent cytotoxic effects in MCF-7 cells. The cell death had features of cytoplasmic vacuolation, plasma membrane

In this study, an efficient purification method for the polyphenols of Pinus koraiensis pinecone (PPP) has been developed. AB-8 resin was verified to offer good adsorption and desorption ratio for PPP. Response surface methodology (RSM) indicated that the optimized purification parameters for PPP

Synthesis of twelve hitherto unreported esters of abietyl alcohol and screening of these esters against four cancer cell lines including one breast cancer line MCF7 and four hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HCC) Huh7, Hep3B, Snu449 and Plc has been determined using SRB assay. The Cell cycle
