stemona parviflora/항암

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), a neuroendocrine tumor arising from the thyroid gland, is known to be poorly responsive to conventional chemotherapy. The root of Stemona tuberosa Lour, also called Bai Bu, is a commonly used traditional Chinese anti-tussive medicine. The present study investigated

P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux can cause a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype that is associated with a poor response to cancer chemotherapy. Through bioassay-guided fractionation, active Stemona alkaloids were isolated from the roots of Stemona aphylla and S. burkillii. The chemical

UNASSIGNED Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major reason for the failure of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC), and the primary determinant of MDR in CRC patients is active drug efflux owing to overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cancer tissues. Despite research efforts to overcome

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Plants of genus Stemona (Stemonaceae) have long been used locally and traditionally in many South and East Asia counties to relieve cough, dispel phlegm, prevent asthma, control pests, diminish inflammation
