Hedyotis diffusa plus Scutellaria barbata is a couplet of medicinal that has been commonly used to treat inflammation-related diseases and various types of tumors. However, the effect of this couplet on tumor cell migration has not been elucidated. With the aid of MCF-7-BOM, a
Previous studies have demonstrated that Hedyotis diffusa Willd (HDW), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, exhibits potent anticancer activity in models of colorectal cancer (CRC). Aggressive forms of CRC exhibit resistance to widely used chemotherapeutic drugs, including the antimetabolite,
Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway promotes the process of angiogenesis, contributing to the growth and progression of many human malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC), which therefore has become a promising target for cancer chemotherapy. Hedyotis diffusa Willd (HDW), as a well-known
Traditional Chinese medicine is increasingly used to treat cancer. Our clinical experiences identify Hedyotis diffusa plus Scutellaria barbata as the most common herb-pair (couplet medicinal) used for the core treatment of bladder cancer. This study aims to investigate the antitumor effect of the

Human cervical carcinoma nude mice xenograft was established and the mice were treated by intra-gastric administration of boiled and concentrated Hedyotis diffusa. When the tumor grew to
In this study, we first isolated and purified a homogeneous polysaccharide (HDP) from Hedyotis diffusa. Its molecular weight was estimated to be about 89 kDa and GC analysis identified that it was composed of glucose, galactose, and mannose in a molar ratio of 2.0:1.0:1.0. Treatment with HDP (25,

Recent studies have indicated that the inflammatory microenvironment plays a significant role in colorectal cancer (CRC). The interleukin-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (IL-6/STAT3) signaling pathway mediates the proliferative and anti-apoptotic activities required for
To investigate the chemical components and the activity of anti-endometrial cancer cells of the petroleum ether extract in Scutellariae barbatae and Hedyotis diffusa and the herb pair.
Main composition analysis and identification were determined by the GC-MS technology combined with Kovats retention
Photodynamic therapy was found to be an effective therapy for local malignant tumors. This study demonstrated that 80 μg/ml Hedyotis corymbosa extracts with 0.8 J/cm(2) fluence dose caused M21 skin cancer cell death. Photoactivated H. corymbosa-induced M21 cell death is a typical apoptosis that is
