Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease with worst prognosis than other subtypes of breast cancer. Owing to the lack of hormone receptors and HER2 expression on TNBC cells, patients do not have targeted therapy options available with other breast cancer subtypes. Extensive
Bruceine D (BD) is a natural compound extracted from a Chinese herb Brucea javanica that has been used for anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer treatment. However, little is reported about BD's effects in breast cancer tumorigenesis. In this paper, we aimed to investigate the effect of BD in
Brucein D (BD) is a naturally occurring major active quassinoid extracted from the Chinese medicinal herb Brucea javanica, which has been previously demonstrated to exhibit anticancer activities. The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effects of BD on MDA-MB-231 cells, a human
Five new triterpenoids (1-5), together with two known quassinoids, bruceantin (6) and bruceine A (7), and a known flavonolignan, (-)-hydnocarpin (8), were isolated from the chloroform-soluble subfraction of a methanol extract of the combined twigs, leaves, and inflorescence of Brucea javanica
We report pH-responsive liquid crystalline lipid nanoparticles, which are dual loaded by Brucea javanica oil (BJO) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and display a pH-induced inverted hexagonal (pH=7.4) to cubic (pH=6.8) to emulsified microemulsion (pH=5.3) phase transition with a therapeutic
To analyze the protein composition of Brucea javanica seeds and evaluate the cytotoxicity of its gulbulin hydrolysates. Four protein fractions of albumin, gulbulin, prolamin and glutelin were sequentially extracted and then quantified by Kjeldahl method. Different kinds of proteases were applied to
We have recently demonstrated the antiproliferative and apoptotic activities of herbal traditional Chinese medicines, including the analomous fruit extract of Gleditsia sinensis, the fresh juice of Scutellaria barbata and the warmed water extract of Radix Sophorae Tonkinensis on a series of human
