Y220C, a substitution mutation in p53, causes major structural changes in the protein and is known to form a new protein cavity. This cavity is reckoned to accommodate small drug candidates that may play a key role in cancer treatment. Present study was aimed at determining a drug candidate that

Hedyotis Diffusa Willd, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a treatment for various diseases including cancer, owing to its mild effectiveness and low toxicity. The aim of this study was to identify the main anticancer components in Hedyotis Diffusa Willd, and explore mechanisms underlying

Hypoxic cells of solid tumors are an obstacle to effective cancer therapy. Since hypoxic cells remote from the tumor blood supply may have a greater capacity for reductive reactions than well-oxygenated cells, we have prepared a series of anthraquinone prodrugs which may be capable of generating a

Barleria alluaudii and Diospyros maritima were both investigated as part of an ongoing search for synergistic TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-α-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) sensitizers. As a result of this study, two naphthoquinone epoxides, 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrolapachol (1) and

Two new hydronaphthoquinones, aggregatins E and F (1 and 2, resp.) were isolated from the tubers of Sinningia aggregata (Ker-Gawl.) Wiehler (Gesneriaceae), along with twelve known compounds aggregatin D (3), tectoquinone (4), 1-hydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone (5), icosyl ferulate (6), pustuline (7),

Two new furanonaphthoquinones, (3R)-7-methoxy-α-dunnione (5) and (3R)-6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-α-dunnione (6), along with the known (3R)-dunnione (1), (3R)-α-dunnione (2), (3R)-7-hydroxy-α-dunnione (3), and 1-hydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone (4), were isolated from in vitro cultures of Streptocarpus dunnii.

Emodin is a naturally occurring anthraquinone present in the roots and bark of numerous plants of the genus Rhamnus. Extracts from the roots, bark, and/or dried leaves of buckthorn, senna, cascara, aloe, frangula, and rhubarb have been used as laxatives since ancient times and currently are widely

Quinones that exist in ambient particulate matter (PM) are hypothesized to be associated with adverse health effects through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the impacts of the quinones on the inflammatory processes have yet to be clearly understood. In this study, we
