Aberrant glycosylation changes on many glycoproteins are often related to cancer progression and metastasis. sp2 -Iminosugar-type castanospermine analogues, inhibitors of α-glucosidases, have been reported to exhibit antitumor activity. However, their effects on cell migration and the underlying
8-Hydroxyquinoline derivatives are metal-binding compounds that have recently attracted interest as therapeutic agents for cancer therapy. In this scenario, we designed and synthesized three new glucoconjugates, 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 5-chloro-8-quinolinyl-β-D-glucopyranoside
We describe a novel version of antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT), with the use of amygdalin as prodrug. Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside, which can be cleaved by sweet almond beta-glucosidase to yield free cyanide. If amygdalin could be activated specifically at
Minor ginsenosides, such as compound K, Rg₃(S), which can be produced by deglycosylation of ginsenosides Rb₁, showed strong anti-cancer effects. However, the anticancer effects of gypenoside LXXV, which is one of the deglycosylated shapes of ginsenoside Rb₁, is still unknown due to the rarity of its
BACKGROUND
Iridoids belong to a group of monoterpene compounds with cyclopentane ring and found as mostly the glycoside forms in nature. They act primarily as the defense substances and found in various medicinal plants.
OBJECTIVE
Although many iridoids exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticancer
Experiments are described in which four transplantable rodent tumors (L1210 lymphoid leukemia, P388 lymphocytic leukemia, B16 melanoma, and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma) were used to investigate the antitumor activity of amygdalin MF. Amygdalin MF was given alone and in combination with
OBJECTIVE
Acarbose, an α-glucosidase inhibitor, has been shown to have antineoplastic effects on colorectal cancer in biomarker studies. We assessed the association between acarbose use in patients with diabetes and incident colorectal cancer.
METHODS
We conducted a nationwide, population-based
This paper describes a facile protocol, efficient, and environmentally benign for the synthesis a series of barbiturate acid substituted at C5 position 3a-o. The desired compounds subjected in vitro for different set of bioassays including against anti-oxidant (DPPH and super oxide scavenger
Amygdalin, the gentiobioside derivative of mandelonitrile commonly referred to as Laetrile, is presently under intensive investigation as a potential cancer chemotherapeutic agent. Because of this interest, we investigated the activity of beta-glucosidases that cleave glucose from amygdalin and from
Several studies have shown that anti-diabetic medications may modify the risk of cancer. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) on the risk of cancer in patients with diabetes mellitus. We conducted a systematic search of
Glucosidase II (GluII) plays a major role in regulating post-translation modification of N-linked glycoproteins. We have previously reported that the expression of glucosidase II beta subunit (GluIIβ) was significantly increased in lung tumor tissues and its suppression triggers autophagy and/or
The resistance to therapy is a major clinical challenge for advanced stage breast cancer. Identification of novel potential therapeutic targets is needed to overcome chemoresistance. In this work, we identified a target that was critically involved in breast cancer growth and chemoresistance. We
A new compound, nigronapthaphenyl, was extracted from the endophytic fungus Nigrospora sphaerica isolated from a mangrove plant Bruguiera gymnorrhyza. The structure of the compound was elucidated by analysis of 1D and 2D NMR spectra and mass spectrometric data. It was tested in
Transglycosylation represents one of the most promising approaches for obtaining novel glycosides, and plant phenols and polyphenols are emerging as one of the best targets for creating new molecules with enhanced capacities. These compounds can be found in diet and exhibit a wide We hypothesized that soy phytochemicals may have immunomodulatory properties that may affect prostate carcinogenesis and progression. A randomized, phase II trial was conducted in 32 patients with prostate cancer with asymptomatic biochemical recurrence but no measurable disease on standard staging
