In contrast to deoxyribose or arabinose containing nucleoside analogs that are currently established for cancer therapeutics, 8-chloro-adenosine (8-Cl-Ado) possesses a ribose sugar. This unique nucleoside analog is RNA-directed and is in a phase I clinical trial for hematological malignancies.
Sanghuangporus is a traditional medicine that has been used for nearly 2000 years in Asia. It has been found to enhance immunity and have anticancer properties. Some studies determined that Sanghuangporus polysaccharide can inhibit tumors in vitro, although the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.
Fungal polysaccharides have become hotspots in the field of health foods due to their antitumor activity in recent years. In this experiment, antitumor effect of the medicinal fungus Ganoderma applanatum polysaccharide (GAP) was investigated in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, as well as the
Fazarabine (Arabinofuranosyl-5-azacytosine) is a synthetic pyrimidine nucleoside which combines the arabinose sugar of cytosine arabinoside with the triazine base of 5-azacytidine. It has demonstrated activity against a variety of human solid tumor xenografts including colon, lung and breast
OBJECTIVE
Bacteria-based tumor-targeted therapy is a modality of growing interest in anticancer strategies. Imaging bacteria specifically targeting and replicating within tumors using radiotracer techniques and optical imaging can provide confirmation of successful colonization of malignant
A dimeric 62-kDa lectin exhibiting a novel N-terminal amino acid sequence was purified from caper (Capparis spinosa) seeds. The purification protocol involved anion-exchange chromatography, cation-exchange chromatography and, finally, gel filtration by FPLC on Superdex 75. Approx. 100-fold
Black cohosh is a well-established medicinal plant and preparations of its rootstock are used for the treatment of mild climacteric complaints. The compounds considered responsible for the therapeutic effect are triterpene glycosides, characterized by a cycloartane scaffold and a pentose moiety.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the anticancer activity of polysaccharides from brown seaweed Sargassum wightii (SWP) on human breast cancer cells. Initially, two polysaccharide fractions (SWP1 and SWP2) were isolated and purified from the crude polysaccharides using DEAE-52 cellulose
To establish a systematic method for the extraction, purification, characterization and antitumor activity study of polysaccharide from artificially cultivated Anoectochilus roxburghii (wall.) Lindl. (AC-ARPS). High-speed counter current chromatography with two-phase aqueous systems was successfully
In this study, gum of Araucaria heterophylla was collected. The collected gum was subjected for extraction of polysaccharide using solvent extraction system. Thus, extracted polysaccharide was further purified using solvent method and was characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Phenol sulfuric acid
Various industries highly regard the functionalities and bioactivities of bacterial polysaccharides. We aimed to characterize the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by novel probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum C70 (accession number KX881779) isolated from camel milk and to investigate its bioactivities
OBJECTIVE
The intent of this study was to purify and characterize a polysaccharide named LA from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Pleurotus abalones.
METHODS
The 120-kDa polysaccharide was obtained by extraction with boiling water, ethanol precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on
