Chitinases are a group of enzymes that show differences in their molecular structure, substrate specificity, and catalytic mechanism and widely found in organisms like bacteria, yeasts, fungi, arthropods actinomycetes, plants and humans. A novel chitinase enzyme (designated as TDSC) was purified
Background/aim: Accumulating evidence has shown therapeutic effects of herbals on breast cancer, a commonly diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. However, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to explore the mode of
The gene encoding Trichosanthes kirilowii defensin (TDEF1) was cloned by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The newly discovered TDEF1 cDNA contains 231 bp (Genbank accession number DQ526373) and encodes a 76-amino acid protein, which consists of a 29-amino acid signal peptide
An anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) protein capable of inhibiting HIV-1 infection and replication has been isolated and purified to homogeneity from Trichosanthes kirilowii. This protein, TAP 29 (Trichosanthes anti-HIV protein, 29 kDa), is distinct from trichosanthin [also known as GLQ
Breast cancer ranks as a common and severe neoplasia in women with increasing incidence as well as high risk of metastasis and relapse. Translational and laboratory-based clinical investigations of new/novel drugs are in progress. Medicinal plants are rich sources of biologically active natural
Background: Cancer is a major health problem worldwide and the leading cause of death in many countries. Preclinical studies have shown the therapeutic anticancer effects of SH003, a novel herbal medicine containing Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica gigas, and Trichosanthes
SKI 306X is a purified extract from a mixture of three oriental herbal medicines (Clematis mandshurica, Trichosanthes kirilowii and Prunella vulgaris) that have been widely used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as lymphadenitis and arthritis in far East Asia. A double-blind,
Ribosome-inactivating proteins, named for their ability to inhibit protein translation in cell-free systems, are an important class of natural plant defense proteins with potential human therapeutic and agricultural applications. The kinetics of growth, nutrient consumption, and extracellular
Radix trichosanthis, an abortifacient drug of mid-gestation, is extracted from the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, Cucurbitaceae. Its purified effective principle is a basic protein of molecular weight of approximately 18,000 and is named trichosanthin. By authorization it has been
BACKGROUND
Meptyldinocap (2,4-DNOPC) is a novel powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) fungicide which shows protectant and post-infective activities. However, there is no reliable validated LC-MS/MS method for measuring trace levels of meptyldinocap in cucumber. A method for the determination of
Trichosanthes kirilowii tuber is a traditional medicine which exhibits various medicinal effects including antidiabetic and anticancer activities in several cancer cells. Recently, it was reported that Cucurbitacin D (CuD) isolated from Trichosanthes kirilowii also induces apoptosis in several
Trichosanthin is an active component extracted from the root tuber of the Chinese medicinal herb Trichosanthes kirilowii. Trichosanthin has abortifacient, anti-tumor, anti-HIV, and immunoregulatory functions. In the current study, we explored its potential effect on allograft rejection in a murine
Background
Trichosanthis semen, the seeds of
Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. or
Trichosanthes rosthornii Harms, has long been used in Korean medicine to loosen bowels and relieve chronic constipation. Although the fruits and radixes of this medicinal herb and their
Chitinases which catalyze hydrolysis of chitin are believed to be antifungal proteins in plant. Nevertheless, a variety of functions and some new enzymatic activities of chitinases have been found in recent years. We cloned a novel protein from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz (Family
Cervical cancer is a prevalent disease that may lead to mortality in women. In spite of the development of common therapeutic agents to treat cancer, there are several limitations of their use owing to side effects and drug resistance, which may induce cancer recurrence. The anticancer effects of
