rhodiola/neoplasms

In recent years, several studies have shown that Rhodiola rosea can enhance cellular immunity and humoral immune function in mice, and thus, it has become a research hotspot. However, its underlying mechanism of action has remained elusive. The present study investigated whether Rhodiola rosea was

BACKGROUND Cachexia has a devastating impact on survival and quality of life for many cancer patients and contributes to nearly one-third of all cancer deaths; also, it is associated with poor responses to chemotherapy and survival. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of

Objective To explore the anti-tumor immune function of the Tibetan medicine Rhodiola rosea L. (RRL). Methods Lewis lung cancer-bearing mice were randomly divided into normal saline group, 500 mg/kg RRL ethanol extract treatment group, and 10 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CTX) treatment group. All the

Diverse compounds from many different chemical classes are currently targeted in preclinical analyses for their ability to act as both chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents. Phenolic phytochemicals from Rhodiola crenulata has such potential. This Rhodiola species is a perennial plant that

In experiments with transplantable tumors, partial hepatectomy, Rhodiola rosea extracts or their combination were shown to inhibit the rate of Ehrlich's tumor and Pliss' lymphosarcoma as well as dissemination of the latter. These effects are to a certain extent attributed to production of humoral

The influence of a plant preparation AdMax (Nulab Inc., Clearwater, FL, USA) on immunity in ovarian cancer patients was studied. The preparation is a combination of dried ethanol/water extracts from roots of Leuzea carthamoides, Rhodiola rosea, Eleutherococcus senticosus and fruits of Schizandra

OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of rhizome extracts of Rhodiola imbricata (R. imbricata) in HT-29 human colon cancer cell line. METHODS The successively extracted rhizome of R. imbricata using various solvents was analyzed for their total phenolics,

In experiment on rats with Pliss lymphosarcoma (PLS) it was shown that partial hepatectomy (PHE), a course application of Rhodiola rosea extract (RRE) or combined effects inhibit the growth of tumors by 37, 39 and 59%, respectively, and that of metastases by 42, 50 and 75%. In combined treatment the

Antitumor and antimetastatic effects of an official extract of Rhodiola rosea were established in experiments on inbred and noninbred mice and rats with transplantable NK/Ly tumor, Ehrlich's adenocarcinoma, melanoma B16 and Lewis lung carcinoma. Application of the said preparation to

Background: Lung cancer is the most common and mortal cancer worldwide. Rhodiola rosea L. (RR), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been turned out to be effective in anti-lung cancer therapy, but its molecular mechanism

OBJECTIVE To study the anticancer activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis in vitro and in vivo experiments. METHODS The effect of Rhodiola sachalinensis extracts at various concentrations on T241 fibrosarcoma cells proliferation and cytotoxic potential were measured. We divided T241 fibrosarcoma-bearing

The clonogenic activity of tumors and blood marrow cells has been studied in experiments on CBA, BALB/C and C57B1/6 mice with the Ehrlich adenocarcinoma and Lewis lung carcinosarcoma treated with adaptogenic drugs of Rhodiola Rosea extract, a synthetic analog of Rhodiola phenol derivative,

Salidroside is the main compounds extracted from the Chinese medicine Rhodiola rosea and has many pharmacological effects, including anti-tumor effects. However, the role of salidroside in human pancreatic cancer remains poorly known. Thus, the focus of this study was to evaluate the

The genus Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) consists of more than 100 species. They grow mainly in Tibet, China and Mongolia and are traditionally used as tonic, adaptogen, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory drugs. The best known is Rhodiola rosea (R. rosea) now cultivated also in Europe and North America,

Vascular inflammation is a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Salidroside is an important active ingredient extracted from the root of the Rhodiola rosea plant, which has been reported to have antioxidative, anti-cancer, neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects. However,
