Background: Cell adhesion as dynamic interactions between cell-cell and cell-matrix, has an essential role in cancer cell migration. Integrins as cell membrane receptors are involved in cell adhesion and signal transduction. Aberrant
The treatment of MCF-7 and T47D human breast cancer cell lines with amygdalin was able to reduce the growth of both cells, in concentration and time-dependent manners. The potency of this inhibition against MCF-7 and T47D cells produced IC50 values of 39 and 45 mM, respectively. To investigate the
In spite of several studies that have shown the cytotoxic effects of amygdalin on the different cancer cell lines, however, the chemopreventive potential of amygdalin on the breast cancer cell line is not completely understood. We investigated the effect of amygdalin on the cell death and the level
Amygdalin, D-mandelonitrile-β-D-glucoside-6-β-glucoside, belongs to aromatic cyanogenic glycoside group derived from rosaceous plant seed. Mounting evidence has supported the anti-cancer effects of amygdalin. However, whether amygdalin indeed acts as an anti-tumor agent against breast cancer cells
Amygdalin, named as 'laetrile' and 'vitamin B-17' was initially supposed to be a safe drug for cancer treatment and was recognized by followers of natural medicine since it has been considered to be hydrolyzed only in cancer cells releasing toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and thus destroying them.
The use of alternative medicines is increasing and poorly regulated. We describe a case of severe cyanide poisoning arising from amygdalin, a putative vitamin supplement. A 32-year-old woman arrived in the emergency department by ambulance unresponsive, shocked and with fixed dilated pupils. She was
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Among the available treatment options for cancer, chemotherapy is the therapy for treating a variety of cancer patients. However, the therapeutic efficacy of current agents is minimal
Amygdalin induces apoptotic death in several carcinoma cells. Affibody is an engineered protein with a high affinity for human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2). We assessed the cytotoxic effects of the amygdalin-ZHER2 affibody conjugate on two breast carcinoma cell lines. The ZHER2
