In the present study, we demonstrate that ipobscurine, an indole alkaloid fraction isolated from Ipomoea obscura, can reduce the formation of B16F-10 melanoma-induced metastatic nodules and inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of B16F-10 melanoma cells in vitro, possibly by inhibiting

In the search for possible new anti-cancer agents, we investigated the effects of 75 aqueous and methanol extracts from 41 Argentinean plant species. The effect in cell growth was evaluated in the LM2 mammary adenocarcinoma cells. In a second stage, the highly active selected extracts were assayed

The immune status of the host plays a crucial role in controling the process of carcinogenesis. General or selective activation of various immunocompetent cells and their secretory function to maintain a healthy immune status may help in cancer prophylaxis, as well as therapy. The present study

Ipomoea obscura (L) is a widely used medicinal plant. In this study, we investigated its anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effect using in vitro and in vivo models. Methanolic extract of I. obsucra (10 mg/kg b.wt) was given interaperitoneally before inducing inflammation (both acute and chronic) and

BACKGROUND The incidence of skin cancers is rising gradually. The treatment of melanoma is also necessary to prevent the spread of cancer to other body organs. Scientific literatures have not documented any evidence of the antitumor potential of Ipomoea pes-caprae on melanoma. OBJECTIVE Explore in

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has emerged as an important determinant role in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. It has been reported that aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is closely linked to CRC metastasis. However, the effect of AQP5 on the EMT process of CRC remains unknown. The current study

Sweetpotato leaves (Ipomoea batatas L.) contain a high content of polyphenolics that consist of caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid. We investigated the suppression of the

OBJECTIVE Three fractions (SM, SM-A, SM-B) were prepared from different polarity parts of Ipomoea batatas Lam. (cv.simon) leaves and the anti-tumor potency as well as the dose-response relations were evaluated. METHODS The anti-tumor activities of fraction SM, SM-A or SM-B were screened by MTS in

Ipomoea carnea Jacq. is an important folklore medicinal plant, assessed for its underexplored biological potential. Antioxidant, cytotoxic, antiproliferative and polyphenolic profile of whole plant was evaluated using various techniques. Maximum extract recovery (29% w/w), phenolic [13.54 ± 0.27 μg

Correction for 'Identification of protein targets and the mechanism of the cytotoxic action of Ipomoea turpethum extract loaded nanoparticles against breast cancer cells' by Mohd Mughees et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2019, 7, 6048-6063.

The aim of the present study was to explore the anti-breast cancer activity of the plant I. turpethum together with the comparative analysis of the cytotoxicity of the extracts from different parts of the plant. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the plant revealed the

The shortcomings of the currently available anti-breast cancer agents compel the development of the safer targeted drug delivery for the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-breast cancer potential of Ipomoea turpethum extract loaded nanoparticles

OBJECTIVE Ipomoea obscura (L.) Ker-Gawl, is a medicinal herb with indole alkaloids as an active constituent. In this study, we investigated the anti-angiogenic activity of I. obscura extract and one of its major compounds Ipobscurine-A (IPO-A). METHODS In vivo angiogenesis was induced by injecting

In this study, we tested the anti-metastatic activity of Ipomoea obscura extract and elucidated its underlying mechanisms by in vitro system using B16F-10 melanoma cells and in vivo experimental lung metastasis model. I. obscura suppressed proliferation, invasion and migration of highly metastatic

Ten new pentasaccharide glycosides, arboresins 1-6 (1-6) and murucins 6-9 (8-11), along with five known glycolipids, were isolated from the roots of Ipomoea arborescens, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-6 and 8-11 were evaluated for cytotoxicity
