The Small Cabbage White ( Pieris rapae) is originally a Eurasian butterfly. Being accidentally introduced into North America, Australia, and New Zealand a century or more ago, it spread throughout the continents and rapidly established as one of the most abundant butterfly species. Although it is a
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anticancer activity of 10 selected traditional Chinese medicinal plants on 4 cancer cell lines, namely MCF-7 (breast carcinoma), BALL-1 (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), Huh-7 (hepatocellular carcinoma), HeLa (cervical carcinoma) and their
Endophytic fungi of medicinal plants have attracted wide attention due to their various active biochemical substances that are similar to those of the host plants and can be easily fermented and cultured. As a traditional medicine and food homologous plant in Xinjiang, Brassica rapa L. has a
Wastewater irrigation of crops may be effective to avoid depletion (about 70%) of freshwater resources. However, the use of reclaimed waters containing persistent microcontaminants such as antineoplastic drugs is of high environmental concern. These active compounds may affect human health with
BACKGROUND
Broccoli [Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck. (Brassicaceae)] contains substantial quantities of bioactive compounds, which are good free radical scavengers and thus might have strong antitumor properties. Enhancing production of plant secondary metabolites could be obtained with
Rapeseed peptides were prepared by means of the combined methods of the laboratory bacteria enzyme synergy and the solid-state fermentation of rapeseed meal. The rapeseed peptides were separated and purified with the tumor cell in vitro anti-proliferative activity as an index. Moreover, a kind of
The effect of cabbage extract on the production of tumor necrosis factor and its implication in the antitumor effect were examined in vitro and in vivo. Cabbage extract stimulated the production of tumor necrosis factor by rat spleen cells and showed cytotoxic activity in a rat ascites hepatoma cell
Though various antimutagens with desmutagenic activities have been found in our daily foods of plant origin, the numbers of antimutagens with bio-antimutagenic activities found so far are limited. In the present study, a compound with potential bio-antimutagenic activity to Escherichia coli B/r WP2
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) is a rich source of chemopreventive compounds. Here, we evaluated and compared the effect of selenium (Se) treatment on the accumulation of anticancer compounds Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMSCys) and glucosinolates in broccoli sprouts and florets. Total Se
Cancer results from aberrant signaling pathways that result in uncontrolled cellular proliferation. The epidemiological studies have shown a strong inverse correlation between dietary consumption of cruciferous vegetables and incidences of cancer. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are present in cruciferous
Broccolini (Brassica oleracea Italica × Alboglabra) is a hybrid of broccoli and kai-lan, Chinese broccoli. To date, no report on antitumor activity of Broccolini (NOT Broccoli) is available. In this study, we evaluated the antiproliferative effects of broccolini seeds extract (BSE) on human lung and
Numerous epidemiologic studies have shown that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and fiber is associated with a decreased risk of cancer, particularly of epithelial tumors. Especially this association is evident for various citrus fruits, carrots, leafy green vegetables, as well as
There has been growing interest in recent years in the potential of brassica vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc.) as vectors for the introduction of anticarcinogenic compounds in the diet. Indole-3-carbinol, a major indole metabolite present in the cruciferous vegetables, has
In the current study, isolation of glucosinolate degradation products was done in 4 different incubation solutions with different pHs based on the fact that distinct hydrolytic products are formed at different pHs. All the extracts were tested against direct-acting mutagens (4
Sulforaphane (SFN) an isothiocyanate formed by hydrolysis of glucosinolates found in Brassica oleraceae is reported to possess anticancer and antioxidant activities. In this study, we isolated SFN from red cabbage (Brassica oleraceae var rubra) and evaluated the comparative antiproliferative
