Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is the most excellent anticancer theranostic nanoparticles synthesized through efficient, simple and green synthesis method using extracts of Trichosanthes kirilowii, extensively characterized by UV-spectroscopy, FT-IR and TEM techniques. The AuNPs, synthesized by
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. To treat lung cancer, various anticancer drugs were developed and tested, but they failed because of drug resistance. In the present study, we tested herbal medicines, such as TK and CuD, as anticancer drugs to decrease side BACKGROUND
Trichosanthes dioica Roxb. (Cucurbitaceae) is a dioecious climber, traditionally used in India for several medicinal purposes.
OBJECTIVE
The present study assessed the hydroalcoholic extract of T. dioica root (TDA) for antitumor effect and antioxidant influence against Ehrlich ascites
BACKGROUND
Three-phase partitioning (TPP), a unique technique which has been explored for protein separation, was used for extraction of trichosanthin (TCS).
OBJECTIVE
TPP was used to optimize the TCS extraction and to determine its anticancer activity.
METHODS
The process consists of the
Background
Trichosanthis semen, the seeds of
Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. or
Trichosanthes rosthornii Harms, has long been used in Korean medicine to loosen bowels and relieve chronic constipation. Although the fruits and radixes of this medicinal herb and their
Cucurbitacin B (Cu B), a tetracyclic triterpenoid derived from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, exhibits anticancer effects against various types of tumor. Higenamine, isolated from Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, has been used as a dietary supplement for regulating metabolic function. The present
BACKGROUND
Tianhua (TH-R) is extracted from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim (Cucurbitaceae) containing trichosanthin, a traditional Chinese medicine, which has been locally reported to have good anticancer effects in vivo in both animal and human models. However, there have been several reports that
1. The biochemical characteristics and biological activities of eight Cucurbitaceae plant proteins designated trichosanthin (isolated from tubers of Trichosanthes kirilowii), beta-trichosanthin (isolated from tubers of Trichosanthes cucumeroides), alpha- and beta-momorcharins (isolated from seeds of
Forty-nine multiflorane-type triterpenoids consisting of 11 compounds isolated from the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii (Cucurbitaceae) and 38 of their derivatives have been evaluated for their inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by the tumor promoter
Trichosanthin, a basic protein purified from the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii, has been used effectively in China to induce midterm abortion in humans. In this paper, we show that trichosanthin at non-cytotoxic concentrations markedly inhibited the mitogen-induced lymphoproliferative
Karasurin is an abortifacient plant protein isolated from fresh root tubers of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz var. japonicum Kitamrra (Cucurbitaceae). This study describes the presence of protein polymorphism in karasurin (karasurin-A and karasurin-B) separated by ion-exchange chromatography.
Chitinases which catalyze hydrolysis of chitin are believed to be antifungal proteins in plant. Nevertheless, a variety of functions and some new enzymatic activities of chitinases have been found in recent years. We cloned a novel protein from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz (Family
Background/aim: Accumulating evidence has shown therapeutic effects of herbals on breast cancer, a commonly diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. However, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to explore the mode of
OBJECTIVE
Trichosanthin (TCS), a ribosome-inactivating protein extracted from the root tuber of Chinese medicinal herb Trichosanthes kirilowii maximowicz, has various pharmacological properties including abortifacient, anti-tumor and anti-virus. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of TCS on
Background: Cancer is a major health problem worldwide and the leading cause of death in many countries. Preclinical studies have shown the therapeutic anticancer effects of SH003, a novel herbal medicine containing Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica gigas, and Trichosanthes
