The Rheum palmatum L., a traditional medicine in Korea, was screened for their estrogenic activity in a recombinant yeast system with a human estrogen receptor (ER) expression plasmid and a reporter plasmid used in a previous study. The EC50 values of the n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate,
Rheum palmatum L. (RP) has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases in Asian countries. The molecular mechanism of its anti-metastasis effect remains elusive. The present study assessed the effect of RP ethanol extract (RPE) on the highly metastatic human
We investigated the estrogenic and breast cancer inhibitory activities of chemical constituents isolated from Rhei undulati Rhizoma (roots of Rheum undulatum L.), which is used as a laxative, an anti-inflammatory, and an anti-blood stagnation agent. Estrogen-like activity was studied using the well
Although current chemotherapeutic agents are active at the beginning of therapy, the most common risk is the development of resistance during later stages in almost all cancer types including breast cancer. Hence, investigation of novel drugs is still a priority goal for cancer treatment. The
BACKGROUND
Rheum officinale Baill. (Da Huang) is one of the herbs commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine formulae against cancer. The traditional decoction is similar to the water extract used in the present study.
OBJECTIVE
The water extract of Da Huang was investigated to see if it
The aggressive nature of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer subtype obligates for innovative targeted therapies. The present study aimed to investigate the phytoconstituents and specific anticancer activities of Rheum emodi rhizome, a known food source used locally to treat various
BACKGROUND
Physcion is an anthraquinone from rhubarb (rhizomes of Rheum tanguticum) and has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antifungal, and anti-cancer activities. However, the growth inhibitory activity against human cancer cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms
Fatty acid synthase (FAS) has attracted more and more attention as a potential target for cancer treatment. Natural FAS inhibitors are emerging as potential therapeutic agents to treat cancer. Rheum tanguticum Maxim. ex Balf. (rhubarb) is a traditional Chinese nutritional food and has been reported
Rheum emodi Wall. ex Meissn. (Polygonaceae) is a Himalayan perennial herb which has been cultivated over 5000 years for its medicinal properties by rural and tribal people of Kashmir, and has great significance for its traditional use in Ayurvedic, Unani and folk systems of medicine for cancer
Curcumin, a biphenyl compound derived from rhizome, is a powerful anti-cancer agent. Emodin is an active component isolated from the root and rhizome of Rheum palmatum that has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of various diseases. Currently, there are no studies
Emodin (EMD) is an anthraquinone derivative extracted from the root and rhizome of Rheum palmatum L. which exhibits a range of activities, including anti-bacterial, antitumor, diuretic and vasorelaxant effects. The ability to inhibit metastasis and angiogenesis was shown in previous pharmacological
Aloe-emodin (AE) is derived from Aloe vera and rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) and exhibits anticancer activities via multiple regulatory mechanisms in various cancers. AE can also enhance the anticancer efficacy of cisplatin, doxorubicin, docetaxel, and 5-fluorouracil; however, its effects remain poorly
Chinese medicinal herbs are traditionally used to prevent and treat a variety of diseases, including cancer. These herbal preparations are purported to have many biological effects including direct antiproliferative effects on cancer cells, anti-mutagenic activity, and stimulatory or suppressive
Rhein is a natural product purified from herbal plants such as Rheum palmatum, which has been shown to have anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor metastasis properties. However, the biological effects of rhein on the behavior of breast cancers are not completely elucidated. To evaluate whether rhein
As an active natural ingredient extracted from the plant Rheum palmatum, emodin exhibits various pharmacological activities, especially the inhibition of tumor growth and migration. However, the anticancer activity of emodin is limited mainly due to its poor solubility and the lack of specific
