Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common type of cancer globally, which is associated with high rates of cancer-related deaths. Metastasis to distant organs is the main reason behind worst prognostic outcome of oral cancer. In the present study, we aimed at evaluating the effects of a
The anticarcinogenic potential of the phytocompound Luteolin-7-O-Glucoside (LUT7G), isolated from the leaves of Ophiorrhiza mungos Linn, was studied against 4 different cancer cell lines (COLO 320 DM, AGS, MCF-7, and A549) and normal VERO cell line. The ability of LUT7G to induce apoptosis was
Cuminum cyminum is famous for its spicy fruits used for culinary and therapeutic properties worldwide. Brine shrimp test was performed for detecting cytotoxic fractions and subfractions. Ethyl acetate (EA) and hexane (HE) fractions demonstrated LC50 of 52.40 and 60.77 µg/ml against
Luteolin-7-O-glucoside (LUT7G), a flavone subclass of flavonoids, has been found to increase anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, as well as cytotoxic effects. However, the mechanism of how LUT7G induces apoptosis and regulates cell cycles remains poorly understood. In this study, we
BACKGROUND
An Indian origin, Celosia argentea is a weed growing during rainy season traditionally claimed for treating several ailments. Early researches on C. argentea were focused on the anti-cancer screening of seeds, with few reports on aerial parts.
OBJECTIVE
To isolate and characterize
An extract from the entire Ixeris denticulata f. pinnatipartita plant afforded the guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone glucoside, 8 beta,15-dihydroxy-1(10),3,11(13)-guaiatrien-12,6-olide-15-O- glucopyranoside, along with the known flavonoids luteolin-7-O-glucoside and
An investigation of the aqueous ethanolic extract (AE) of the aerial parts of Torilis radiata Moench yielded two triterpenes (lupeol acetate (1) and α-amyrin (2)), a sterol (spinasterol (3)) from its n-hexane fraction (HF), a flavone (acacetin (4)), a coumarin (scopoletin (5)), a phenolic acid
Kouyanqing Granule (KYQG) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula composed of Flos lonicerae (FL), Radix scrophulariae (RS), Radix ophiopogonis (RO), Radix asparagi (RA), and Radix et rhizoma glycyrrhizae (RG). In contrast with the typical method of separating and then biologicalily testing the
As part of our continuing efforts in the search for potential biologically active compounds from medicinal plants, we have isolated 18 compounds including two novel nitrogen containing diterpenes from extracts of the fruits of Vitex agnus-castus. These isolates, along with our previously obtained
Eclipta prostrata L., (Asteraceae), is used in China for both food and medicine purposes. This research is concerned with the isolation and purification of phytochemical constituents from the aerial parts of E. prostrata, using gradient solvent fractionation, macroporous resin, silica gel, Sephadex
This study has been aimed at providing a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of selected phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, oleuropein, fatty acids profile, and volatile oil compounds, present in wild olive leaves harvested in Portugal, as well as at determining their antioxidant
Angiogenesis is a process by which new blood vessels are formed from the pre-existing vasculature, and it is a key process that leads to tumour development. Some studies have recognized phenolic compounds as chemopreventive agents; flavonoids, in particular, seem to suppress the growth of tumor
Olive leaves, an easily available natural low-cost material, constitute a source of extracts with significant antitumor activity that inhibits cell proliferation in several breast-cancer-cell models. In this work, a metabolite-profiling approach has been used to assess the uptake and metabolism of
The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro antioxidant and antitumor effects of Salvia fruticosa Mill subsp. thomasii (Lacaita) Brullo, Guglielmo, Pavone & Terrasi (Lamiaceae). The aerial parts were extracted by maceration with methanol. This extract was partitioned with methanol
Luteolin is a flavonoid often found in various medicinal plants that exhibits multiple biological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity. Commercially available medicinal plants and their preparations containing luteolin are often used in the treatment of
