viscum verrucosum/알부민

The effect of an aqueous extract prepared from the leaves of Viscum album (Mistletoe) on plasma cholesterol and albumin levels in male Wistar rats was studied. Lethality studies revealed that the extract had an LD50 value of 417.0 mg/kg mice, intraperitoneally. The rats were randomly divided into

The D-galactose specific lectin from Viscum album L. reacts with serum proteins that contain the corresponding D-galactopyranosyl residues. By affinity chromatography of human serum on lectin-sepharose IgM, alpha 2-macroglobulin, haptoglobin and beta-lipoprotein were quantitatively retained. Only

Oleanolic acid is a molecule of current therapeutic interest. In the present study, oleanolic acid isolated from the cuticular epithelium of Viscum articulatum Burm. f. (Viscaceae) was investigated for its protective effects on gentamicin-induced renal damage in rats. Nephrotoxicity was induced in

The influence of galactoside-specific mistletoe lectin (ML-1) administration on defined acute phase reactants in the serum of cancer patients (mammary carcinoma, n = 4; larynx carcinoma, n = 11; TNM-stages II to IV; after appropriate surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) was studied. Regular

Strong expression of class II major histocompatibility (MHC II, Ia) antigens was observed in areas of Wallerian degeneration following either a cryoinjury to the cerebral and cerebellar cortex or unilateral eye enucleation in adult Wistar and Lewis rats. The Wallerian degeneration was disclosed by

Medicinal plants over time have proven to have potential to manage a huge number of diseases and disorders and thus have become a great source of pharmaceutical drugs. One of such plants is Tapinanthus bangwensis (African mistletoe). It is a semiparasitic and epiphytic plant growing on citrus tree,

Neoglycoproteins were prepared with chemoenzymatically synthesized complex biantennary N-glycan derivatives the nonreducing ends of which bear typical sequences found in glycoproteins. A chemically obtained biantennary heptasaccharide-azide was reduced and acylated with a 6-aminohexanoyl spacer.

BACKGROUND European mistletoe (Viscum album L) has been used parenterally for more than 80 years as an anticancer medication with significant immunomodulating action. Since 1984, clinical experience with a Viscum album extract (Viscum album Quercus Frischsaft [Qu FrF]) among HIV-positive patients

Iscador is being used by many patients as unconventional anticancer and immunomodulating therapy. To determine the toxicity profile and biochemical effects of Iscador Qu Spezial (Weleda AG Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients and healthy controls, we

Lysolipid-containing thermosensitive liposomes (LTSL) are clinically-relevant drug nanocarriers which have been used to deliver small molecule cytostatics to tumors in combination with local hyperthermia (42 °C) to trigger local drug release. The objective of this study was to investigate the

In this study, a novel polymeric material functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for isolation of proteins. The sorbent was synthesized from a powdered poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith, and modified with ammonia, followed

OBJECTIVE Anticancer preparations made from plants have been an object of scientific interest for many years. It is worth noting that as many as 25% of cytostatics used in the anticancer chemotherapy are obtained from plants. One of the medical preparations which significantly influences cell

Affinity chromatography provides a powerful tool for isolation of carbohydrate-binding proteins. However, the choice of the ligand and spacer has an important impact on effectiveness. The influence of several different ligands on qualitative and quantitative aspects of the purification of two
