This study aimed to examine the antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic potential of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. et Thonn. using the bacterial preincubation mutation assay and an in-vivo alkaline elution method for DNA single-strand breaks in hamster liver cells. The aqueous extract of the entire plant
Methanolic extract of Phyllanthus amarus was tested for its anti-mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA100, and TA102 (Ames test). P. amarus extract was able to inhibit the activation and mutagenicity of 2-acetaminofluorene (2-AAF) and aflatoxinB(1) at concentrations of
BACKGROUND
Dendritic cells (DCs) are unique antigen presenting cells (APC) which play a pivotal role in immunotherapy and induction of an effective immune response against tumors. In the present study, 80% ethanol extract of Phyllanthus amarus was used to generate tumor lysate (TLY) derived from HCT
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. (PE) is a medicinal fruit used in many Asian traditional medicine systems for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. The present study tested the potential anticancer effects of aqueous extract of PE in four ways: (1) against cancer cell lines, (2) in vitro
OBJECTIVE
Fruit of Phyllanthus emblica Linn. (PE) is widely consumed as a functional food and used as a folk medicine due to its remarkable nutritional and pharmacological effects. Mitomycin C (MMC) and cisplatin (cDDP) are the most widely used forms of chemotherapeutic drug, but their clinical use
Phyllanthus niruri L., a well-known medicinal plant, has been used as a folk antitumor remedy in the worldwide scale. However, the antitumor components in P. niruri have not been reported. In order to verify the antitumor components of P. niruri and the plants which have the high content of these
Chemoprevention is an important strategy to control the process of carcinogenesis. The potential of using medicinal herbs as cancer chemopreventive nutraceuticals and functional food is promising. Thus, there is a need for exploring drugs/agents which act as chemopreventive agents. Phyllanthus
Different parts of four edible medicinal plants (Casearia capitellata, Baccaurea motleyana, Phyllanthus pulcher and Strobilanthus crispus), indigenous to Malaysia, were extracted in different solvents, sequentially. The obtained 28 extracts were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer properties,
Phyllanthoside is a glycoside isolated from the roots of the Central American tree Phyllanthus acuminatus Vahl with antitumor activity against murine B-16 melanoma and P-388 leukemia. We report a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for phyllanthoside in plasma using a 25-cm
The isolation and structural elucidation of a new Phyllanthus glycoside, phyllanthostatin 6 [7], was summarized. Phyllanthostatin 6 [7] was isolated from the roots of Phyllanthus acuminatus (Euphorbiaceae) and was found to inhibit (ED50 = 0.35 micrograms/ml) growth of the murine P-388 lymphocytic
There is a wealth of information emanating from both in vitro and in vivo studies indicating fruit extract of the Phyllanthus emblica tree, commonly referred to as Indian Gooseberries, has potent anticancer properties. The bioactivity in this extract is thought to be principally mediated by
BACKGROUND
Phyllanthus niruri L. is a well-known hepatoprotective and antiviral medicinal herb. Recently, we identified Corilagin as a major active component with anti-tumor activity in this herbal medicine. Corilagin is a member of the tannin family that has been discovered in many medicinal plants
Aqueous extract of Phyllanthus amarus (P. amarus) treatment exhibited potent anticarcinogenic activity against 20-methylcholanthrene (20-MC) induced sarcoma development and increased the survival of tumour harboring mice. The extract administration (p.o) was also found to prolong the life span of
Plant products of Phyllanthus emblica Linn. are traditionally consumed for its immense nutritive and medicinal values. However, the molecular mechanism(s) by which it exerts it effects is less understood. In this study, we investigated mechanism of action of P. emblica fruit extract (PE) by studying
Four known lupane-type triterpenoids, glochidonol (1), glochidiol (2), lup-20(29)-ene-1beta,3beta-diol (3) and glochidone (3) were isolated from the stem bark of Glochidion zeylanicum. Previously, lupeol (5), lup-20(29)-ene-3beta,24-diol (6) and betulin (7) were isolated from the stem bark of
