Lipids are involved in a multitude of important cellular functions. They act as signaling molecules and can even provoke apoptosis. In this context we investigated the efficacy of synthetic alkylphosphocholines (APCs) as potential anti-cancer membrane-affecting drugs. Leading to novel therapeutic
This study was carried out to evaluate the anticancer effects of guava leaf extracts and its fractions. The chemical compositions of the active extracts were also determined. In the present study, we set out to determine whether the anticancer effects of guava leaves are linked with their ability to
Alkylphosphocholines (APCs) represent a new and very encouraging class of antitumour agents that have also been shown to induce apoptosis in tumour cells, but their exact mode of action has still not been elucidated. The APC compound presented here, S-1-O-phosphocholine-2- N-acetyl-octadecane
Two new styryllactones, macrocalactone (1) and 3-deoxycardiobutanolide (2), were isolated from the fruits of Goniothalamus macrocalyx Ban (Annonaceae), together with seven known compounds including four acetogenins, annonacin (3), solamin (4), isoannonacin (5), trans-murisolinone (6), and three
The in vitro relationship between human p53 DNA binding domain (p53 DBD) and FA was investigated. We found that saturated and monounsaturated long-chain FA inhibited the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding activity of p53 DBD. The strongest inhibitors of saturated and unsaturated FA were docosanoic
The plant, Typhonium flagelliforme (Araceae), commonly known as the "rodent tuber" in Malaysia, is often used as an essential ingredient of herbal remedies for alternative cancer therapies. The hexane extract of this plant was evaluated for cytotoxic activity against in vitro culture on P388 murine
In this study we report semimetal nanomaterials of antimony (Sb) as highly efficient agent for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). The Sb nanorod bundles have been synthesized through a facile route by mixing 1-octadecane (ODE) and oleyl amine (OAm) as the solvent. The
