stemona parviflora/화학요법

Effects of tuberostemonine (TS), an alkaloid from Stemona japonica, on the motility of parasitic helminths and isolated frog rectus and mouse ileum were studied. 1) TS (6.7 X 10(-6) approximately 2 X 10(-5) M) paralyzed the motility of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. 2) TS (6.7 X 10(-5) M) showed

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

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major reason for the failure of chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer patients. P-gp over-expression in MDR cancer cells is a multifactorial phenomenon with biochemical resistance mechanisms. Stemofoline (STF), isolated from Stemona bukillii, has been

BACKGROUND Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare calcitonin-producing tumor, derived from the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid. MTC is known to be relatively insensitive to conventional chemotherapy. METHODS Eight cell lines were established from MTCs; each showed an up-regulation of
