Fucoxanthinol (FxOH) is a strong anticancer metabolite of fucoxanthin that accumulates in abundance in edible brown algae and promises human health benefits. FxOH has been shown to suppress tumorigenicity and sphere formation in human colorectal cancer stem cell (CCSC)-like spheroids (colonospheres,

Adriamycin (ADM) has been effective against many types of solid tumors in clinical applications. However, its use is limited because of systemic toxicities, primarily cardiotoxicity, and multidrug resistance. In this study, a new active receptor-mediated complex, ADM conjugated with

The present study evaluates the in-vitro cisplatin (CDDP) release from four different poly oxalates cross-linked chitosan (CS) nanocomposites. The poly oxalates were synthesized from the reaction of four different dicarboxylic acids with ethylene glycol (EG). The encapsulation of CDDP on CS

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of growth inhibition of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell with RRR-alpha-tocopheryl succinate (VES), a derivative of natural Vitamin E, via inducing apoptosis and DNA synthesis arrest. METHODS Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were regularly incubated in the

A co-polymer of O-methyl polyethylene(glycol)-O'-succinate (MPEGs, m.w. 5100) and poly-l-lysine (PL, median m.w. 32700, degree of polymerization 256) has been synthesized by covalent grafting. The resultant MPEGs-PL (30% modification degree of epsilon-amino groups) had a hydrodynamic diameter

OBJECTIVE Interstitial scarring contributes to the progression of renal failure in reflux nephropathy. The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been implicated in the disease susceptibility and pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases promoting interstitial

Naturally occurring oleanolic acid (OA) possesses a hepatoprotective activity and ability to inhibit proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Both properties might be related to its anti-inflammatory activity. Its low bioavailability justifies the search for more hydrophilic OA

Endophytic fungi have been shown to be a promising source of biologically active natural products. In the present study, extracts of four endophytic fungi isolated from plants of the National Park, Pahang were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity and the nature of their active compounds

Previously, we synthesized curcumin and a succinate ester prodrug of curcumin namely curcumin diethyl disuccinate (CurDD) in the lab scale, which yielded hundred milligrams to few grams of the compounds. CurDD was found to be more stable in a phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and exhibited better cytotoxicity

In view of potential biological activities of some succinic acid derivatives, we synthesized some novel N-[4-(4-morpholinosulfonyl)-phenyl]-succinamides (6a, c; 7a, c) and N-[4-(benzylaminosulfonyl) phenyl]-succinamides (6b, d; 7b, d) derivatives as antitumor agents. The antitumor activity of

Substituted quinolines (PQ code number), which reduce colony formation and increase gap junctional intercellular communication, were tested for their ability to interact with various molecular targets in murine and human tumor cell lines in vitro. Various markers of tumor cell metabolism, DNA

Cisplatin is one of the most common anticancer agents for treating different kinds of solid tumors today. However, its broader therapeutic applications are limited by the severe side effects and nonspecific biodistribution. In this study, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-targeted

In the search for new anti-tumor agents with higher potency than our previously identified compound 1 (25-OH-PPD, 25-hydroxyprotopanaxadiol), 12 novel sulfamic and succinic acid derivatives that could improve water solubility and contribute to good drug potency and pharmacokinetic profiles were

Treatment of female SAMP-1 mice with Neuronol (drug containing succinic acid) given with drinking water starting from the age of 2 months during the whole life prolonged the lifespan and markedly reduced mortality of animals aged 1.5-2 years. Neuronol inhibited the development of spontaneous tumors,
