Hyperthermia is a good therapeutic tool for non-invasive cancer therapy; however, its cytotoxic effects are not sufficient. In the present study, withaferin A (WA), a steroidal lactone derived from the plant Withania somnifera Dunal, has been investigated for its possible enhancing effects on
The effect of withaferin A, a plant withanolide, alone or in combination with acute and fractionated radiotherapy and/or hyperthermia, was tested on two mouse tumors, B16F1 melanoma and fibrosarcoma, grown in C57BL and Swiss albino mice, respectively. Tumors were exposed locally to 30 or 50 Gy gamma
Withaferin A (WA), isolated from Indian medicinal plant Withania somnifera has weak antitumor and radiosensitizing property. The present investigation was planned to evaluate the tumor sensitizing effect of WA with or without local hyperthermia on the response of B16F1 melanoma to fractionated and
Protein synthesis inhibitors can suppress the development of thermotolerance in tumor tissues during [corrected] repeated heating. Withaferin A (WA), isolated from Withania somnifera has cytotoxic and inhibitory action on protein synthesis. In the present investigation, effect of WA on development
Withaferin-A (WA), an active principle obtained from a traditional Indian herb known as Ashwagandha or the Indian ginseng, has been shown to prevent and cure urethane-induced lung tumors in mice, and also inhibit the growth of transplanted sarcoma in
