Rotenone is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I, resulting in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Rotenone has been shown to display anticancer activity through the induction of apoptosis in various cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism is
As an approach for a better understanding of the mode of action of rotenone on mammalian cells we have studied the proliferation properties, metabolism and basic cell composition of Ehrlich ascites tumour cells cultured in vitro in the presence of 2.5 microM rotenone and after removal of the
Rotenone, a toxic rotenoid compound, has anti-tumor effects on several cancers. This study aims to clarify the effect of rotenone on the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of colon cancer cells and tumorigenesis in nude mice. The present results showed that rotenone significantly
Rotenone, isolated from roots of derris plant, has been shown to possess various biological activities, which lead to attempting to develop a potent drug against several diseases. However, recent studies have demonstrated that rotenone has the potential to induce several adverse effects such as a
Background: Despite recent progress in molecular-targeted therapies, breast cancer remains the primary leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are believed to be responsible for
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are at the center of many physiological and pathological processes. ROS generated due to oxidative stress can potentiate both cancer initiation and progression. Rotenone, which is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I, results in the
Rotenone, a natural hydrophobic pesticide, has been reported to display anticancer activity in a variety of cancer cells. However, the mechanism of rotenone on colon cancer (CC) cell migration, invasion and metastasis is still unknown. In the present study, the cytotoxicity of rotenone on CC cells
TPC-1 is a highly proliferative thyroid papillary carcinoma-derived cell line. These cells express the RET/PTC1 fusion protein, whose isoforms are characterized in this work. The bacterial alkaloid staurosporine and the plant extract rotenone are death-inducing drugs that have an inhibitory
Nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) orphan receptor has emerged as a promising contender in ameliorating Parkinson's disease; thus, finding a suitable activator of Nurr1 receptor is an attracting target for treating PD. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor, recently showed a favorable
Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play key roles in the initiation and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder, associated with the loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway. Thus, compounds that can mitigate oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are being
The aim of the present work was to investigate the neurochemical changes induced in the cerebellum of rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rats were divided into two groups; control and rat model of PD induced by the intrastriatal injection of rotenone. As compared to control, a significant
Deguelin, a plant-derived rotenoid, mediates potent chemopreventive responses through transcriptional regulation of phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. To explore the mechanism of this effect, the activity of this compound was evaluated with a number of model systems. Using
Ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) is known to contain several bioactive compounds and exhibits free radical scavenging activity. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and is associated with oxidative stress, The way cancer cells escape cisplatin-induced apoptosis has not been completely elucidated yet. We questioned the relevance of "metabolic reprogramming" in cisplatin-resistance by studying mitochondrial function and metabolism in human ovarian carcinoma cell lines, both cisplatin-sensitive (2008)
Aims: Several studies suggested that ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) are potential therapeutic targets for protection against various neurodegenerative disorders, yet, there is an ongoing controversy regarding their
