OBJECTIVE The stem of Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. has long been used as a medicine to treat cancer in China. Our previous in vitro results showed that Marsdenia tenacissima extract (MTE) overcomes gefitinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. However, it is

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are an effective treatment strategy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring mutations that result in constitutive activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). However, most patients eventually develop resistance to TKIs. This occurs

BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressed high levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Gefitinib (Iressa) has demonstrated clinical efficacy in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations or refractory to chemotherapy. However, most of NSCLC patients are with wild type EGFR, and

Most non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients responding to gefitinib harbor activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). However, the responsive cases eventually develop the resistance to gefitinib. Besides, K-ras mutations were identified as the primary resistance to

UNASSIGNED Marsdenia tenacissima is an herb medicine which has been utilized to treat malignant diseases for decades. The M. tenacissima extract (MTE) shows significant anti-proliferation activity against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this

OBJECTIVE Condurango is widely used in various systems of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) against oesophageal and stomach ailments including certain types of cancer. However, until now no systematic study has been conducted to verify its efficacy and dose with proper experimental

Marsdenia tenacissima, a traditional Chinese medicine, is long been used to treat various diseases including asthma, cancer, trachitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, cystitis, and pneumonia. Although Marsdenia tenacissima has been demonstrated to have strong anti-tumor effects against primary tumors,

BACKGROUND Marsdenia tenacissima, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, endemic to Yunnan Province is widely used to treat cough, asthma, expectorant, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo

BACKGROUND The stem of Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Wight et Arn. is mainly produced in Yunnan China and has long been used as a medicine to treat cancer in China. Xiao-Ai-Ping injection, the water-soluble part of the stem of Marsdenia tenacissima, is administrated as an anti-cancer agent in

A new polyoxypregnane aglycone, tenacigenin D (1), and seven new C21 steroid glycosides, tenacissimosides D-J (2-8), were isolated from the stems of Marsdenia tenacissima. Their structures were determined by interpretation of their 1D and 2D NMR and other spectroscopic data, as well as by comparison

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the most excellent anticancer theranostic nanoparticles were synthesized through efficient, simple, and green synthesis method using Marsdenia tenacissima plant extracts and they are widely characterized by several techniques including ultraviolet-visible (UV)
