Cajanol (5-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-7-methoxychroman-4-one) is an isoflavanone from Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] roots. As the most effective phytoalexin in pigeonpea, the cytotoxic activity of cajanol towards cancer cells has not been report as yet. In the present study, the
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to isolate, identify and characterize endophytes from pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millsp.), as novel producer of cajanol and its in vitro cytotoxicity assay.
RESULTS
Isolation, identification and characterization of novel endophytes producing cajanol from the roots of pigeon
This article reports the production of high levels of L-asparaginase from a new isolate of Aspergillus niger in solid state fermentation (SSF) using agro-wastes from three leguminous crops (bran of Cajanus cajan, Phaseolus mungo, and Glycine max). When used as the sole source for growth in SSF, bran
BACKGROUND
A large number of studies have proven that Protease inhibitors (PIs), specifically serine protease inhibitors, show immense divergence in regulation of proteolysis by targeting their specific proteases and hence, they play a key role in healthcare.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to access in-vitro
An ethnopharmacological approach for biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles is being demonstrated using seed coat of Cajanus cajan. Medicinal value of capping molecule investigated for anticancer activity and results disclose its greater potential. The active principle of the seed coat
Cajanus cajan (L.) is a Pigeon pea cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. It contains many bioactive components. The present study aimed to assess the antimutagenic efficacy of a flavonoid fraction of Cajanus cajan (FFCC) to reduce cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide
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
Doxorubicin (Dox) is an effective anthracycline antitumour drug although its clinical efficacy is restricted because of several acute and chronic side effects. It has been suggested that Dox-induced anticancer effect and neurotoxicity do not follow identical mechanism. The present study has been
Antiestrogenic therapy is a mainstay for estrogen receptor (ERα)-positive breast cancer. Due to the development of resistance to established antihormones such as tamoxifen, novel compounds are required. The low abundant cajanin stilbene acid (CSA) recently isolated by us from Pigeon Pea (Cajanus
