Caraway oil, supplemented in diet or painted on the skin, inhibited 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene- (DMBA) and croton oil-induced skin tumors in female BALB/c mice. The inhibition was manifested by disappearance of carcinomas, reduced incidence and number of papillomas, delay of their appearance,
Spices are rich sources of antioxidants due to the presence of phenols and flavonoids. In this study, the DNA protecting activity and inhibition of nicotine-induced cancer cell migration of 9 spices were analysed. Murine fibroblasts (3T3-L1) and human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells were pre-treated
Thymoquinone (TQ) from black caraway seeds has several anticancer activities; however, its effect on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells that lack functional tumor suppressor p53 is not known. Here, we explored the growth inhibitory effect of TQ on 2 TNBC cell lines with mutant p53. Cell
BACKGROUND
Thymoquinone (TQ) is a compound extracted from Black Caraway seeds of Nigella Sativa and is active against various cancers. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the most active chemotherapeutic agent in Lung Cancer. Here we report activity of TQ against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell
Thymoquinone (TQ), a bioactive component of black caraway seed (Nigella sativa) oil, is reported to have antineoplastic properties. In this study we investigated the effect of TQ on a panel of human breast cancer cell lines. Cell viability assays showed that TQ killed T-47D, MDA-MB-231, and
Bioassay-directed fractionation of dill weed oil and caraway oil, respectively, from the plants Anethum graveolens L. and Carum carvi L. (Umbelliferae) has led to the isolation of three monoterpenes, anethofuran (1), carvone (2), and limonene (3). Their structures were determined on the basis of
Colon cancer is one of the most common malignancies in many regions of the world and is thought to arise from the accumulation of mutations in a single epithelial cell of the colon and rectum. Caraway (Carum carvi L. Umbelliferae) is a shrub with a long history as a medicinal plant since ancient
Medicinal plants are traditionally used in folk medicine as natural healing remedies with therapeutic effects such as prevention of cardiovascular diseases, inflammation disorders, or reducing the risk of cancer. In addition, pharmacological industry utilizes medicinal plants due to the presence of
Colon cancer has become one of the major causes of cancer mortality. We determined the effect of caraway (Carum carvi L.) on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and modulation of fecal bacterial enzyme activities in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced experimental rat colon carcinogenesis.
We have recently reported that the inhibition of colonic premalignant lesions induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) is mediated by the interference of caraway oil components in the activities of the main hepatic xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. The present study was carried out to examine the
Georgian cuisine is famous for its spices for meat dishes. Many spices are rich in polyphenols and other antioxidants that reduce the formation of carcinogenic products during thermal processing of meat and counteract its adverse health effects. In spite of the relative popularity of meat dishes,
We have compared responsiveness of serum lipase and amylase activity to the pancreatic exocrine stimulation with cerulein and secretin (CS test) in normal subjects and patients with pancreas-related and other diseases. The lipase and amylase activities were measured by a sensitive colorimetric
A continuing study of chemopreventive agents has focused on three categories of naturally-occurring compounds that inhibit carcinogen activation and are effective in preventing carcinogen-induced neoplasia when administered at short time intervals prior to carcinogen challenge. The three are:
A continuing study of chemopreventive agents has focused on several categories of naturally occurring compounds that inhibit carcinogen activation and are effective in preventing carcinogen-induced neoplasia when administered at short time-intervals before carcinogen challenge. The inhibitory
The effect of consumption of caraway seeds and dried leaves of watercress on 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary gland tumorigenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats was determined. At 6 weeks of age, animals were fed a basal (control) diet and experimental diets containing
