During our isolation of biologically active substances from the spores of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi Houshi, G. lucidum) guided by the inhibitory activity on HL-60 cell proliferation, NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data indicate the substance contains a mixture of several long chain fatty
Salacia oblonga, an inhabitant of tropical regions has been used in traditional Indian medicinal systems. Phytochemicals were extracted in methanol from the plant and analyzed for various biological activities. The results of biochemical tests for total phenolics (297 ± 0.005 and 275 ± 0.006) and
Five terpenes (1-5), three fatty acids (6-8), two sterols (9 and 11), and a monogalactosyldiacyl glycerol (10) were isolated from the methylene chloride extract of the aerial part of Cirsium setidens. Their chemical structures were determined to be alpha-tocopherol (1),
Background: Wild edible plants are good sources for bioactive compounds, vitamins, and minerals with various applications. They can play a role in supporting the immune system and are highly beneficial as resources. Suaeda monoica Forssk
Fetal calf serum (FCS) and 1-oleoyl lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) were previously found to be potent inducers of invasion (transcellular migration) in an in vitro system. A novel LPA, composed of cyclic phosphate and cyclopropane-containing hexadecanoic acid (PHYLPA), first isolated from myxoamoebae
Marine organisms are an important source of chemical compounds which are appropriate for use as therapeutic agents. Among them, Sea pens produce valuable chemical compounds being used as anti-cancer drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate anti-cancer property of extracted and purified
Cancer cell mitochondria are promising anticancer drug targets because they control cell death and are structurally and functionally different from normal cell mitochondria. We synthesized arylurea fatty acids and found that the analogue
Targeting the tumor cell mitochondrion could produce novel anti-cancer agents. We designed an aryl-urea fatty acid ( 1g ; 16({[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}amino)hexadecanoic acid) that disrupted the mitochondrion and decreased MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell viability. To optimize the
Selective targeting of the tumor cell mitochondrion is a viable approach for the development of anticancer agents because the organelle is functionally different from the mitochondria of normal cells. We recently developed a novel aryl-urea fatty acid,
We recently developed a novel aryl-urea fatty acid (CTU; 16({[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}amino)hexadecanoic acid) that impaired the viability of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in vitro and in mouse xenograft models in vivo. At present there is a deficiency of information on the
OBJECTIVE
Typhonium flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume (Araceae) is a Malaysian plant used locally to combat cancer. In order to evaluate its antiproliferative activity in vitro and to possibly identify the active chemical constituents, a bioactivity guided study was conducted on the extracts of this
Seventeen endophytic fungi were isolated from various tissues of Cassia fistula and the ethyl acetate extracts obtained from 21-day cultures of all the endophytic fungal isolates were initially screened for their cytotoxicity against HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) cells using MTT assay. Of these,

BACKGROUND
There is only scant literature on the anticancer components of medicinal plants from Nigeria, yet traditional healers in the area under study claim to have been managing the disease in their patients with some success using the species studied.
OBJECTIVE
To document plants commonly used
In clinical analyses, the most appropriate biofluid should be analyzed for optimal assay performance. For biological fluids, the most readily accessible is blood, and metabolomic analyses can be performed either on plasma or serum. To determine the optimal agent for analysis, metabolic profiles of
