Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) isolated from Mirabilis jalapa L. (MJ protein) leaves showed high cytotoxic effect on malignant. Chitosan nanoparticles have frequently been used in protein delivery applications. The aim of this study was to develop targeted drug delivery system of RIP MJ for
Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases, and traditional chemotherapy is has not proven to be beneficial in its treatment. It ranks second in terms of mortality due to all cancers for all ages. Lack of selectivity and poor bio distribution are the biggest challenges in developing
Colorectal cancer has an overexpression of galectin-3 that is related to cancer progression. A decreased risk of colon cancer can be related to consumption of dietary fibers, but the entire mechanism by which this protection occurs remains unclear. Pectin is a type of dietary fiber that possesses
Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and finding new treatments remains a major challenge. Previous studies showed that modified forms of pectin, a complex polysaccharide present in the primary plant cell wall, possess anticancer properties. Nevertheless, the mechanism of
The effects of specific dietary interventions on incidence of carcinogen-induced cancer and on cryptal cell proliferation in areas of the colon located either over aggregates of lymphoid nodules (ALN) or away from ALN was investigated. Groups of dimethylhydrazine (DMH) treated rats or
In recent days, the green synthesized nanomagnetic biocomposites have been evolved with tremendous potential as the future catalysts. This has encouraged us to design and synthesis of a novel Au NPs immobilized pectin modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4/Pectin/Au). It was
The aim of this study was to develop in situ gellable hydrogels composed of periodate oxidized citrus pectin (OP) for localized anticancer drug delivery and evaluate the potential of OP to inhibit cancer metastasis. Doxorubicin (Dox) was coupled to OP by imine bonds. Adipic dihydrazide (ADH) was
The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo anticancer efficacy of redox-responsive microbeads containing thiolated pectin-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate. Oral microbeads were coated with an enteric polymer to protect the drug from release in the upper
Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a fleshy fruit with a rapid pulp softening during ripening. Ripening events are accompanied by gradual depolymerization of pectic polysaccharides, including homogalacturonans, rhamnogalacturonans, arabinogalactans, and their modified forms. During intermediate phases of
Low-molecular-weight citrus pectin (LCP) is a complex polysaccharide that displays abundant galactosyl (i.e., sugar carbohydrate) residues. In this study, we evaluated the anti-tumor properties of LCP that lead to Bcl-xL -mediated dampening of apoptosis in gastrointestinal cancer cells.
We used AGS
Novel oral microbeads were developed based on a biopolymer-drug conjugate of doxorubicin (DOX) conjugated with thiolated pectin via reducible disulfide bonds. The microbeads were fabricated by ionotropic gelation with cations such as Al3+, Ca2+ and Zn2+. The results
Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common human cancers. There is an interest in controlling and treating BC and other types of cancer via the use of natural substances and/or combination chemotherapy. Modified forms of pectin have been reported to possess anticancer bioactivity related to the
Optimal management of breakthrough cancer pain (BTCP) requires analgesics with a rapid onset of action, consistent efficacy, improved patient acceptability and tolerability and ease of use. Fentanyl pectin nasal spray (FPNS) incorporates a proprietary pectin-based gelling agent to enhance absorption
Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer amongst women and ranked as fifth in terms of the cause of cancer related mortality accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. Gemcitabine is the most common chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of Aronia in combination with apple pectin in patients with breast cancer in the course of postoperative radiation therapy. Monoclonal antibodies were used to assay specific T cell subsets. Tests were performed prior to and
