Nigegladines A-C (1-3), three thymoquinone dimers, were isolated from the seeds of Nigella glandulifera. Racemic 1 possesses a unique tricyclo[5.4.0.12,6]dodecane carbon skeleton, and compounds 2 and 3 are two unusual diterpenoid alkaloids with indole cores. Their structures were determined by
Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are acute onset syndromes affecting the lungs, which develop for several reasons and are characterized by hypoxemia and diffuse lung infiltration. The
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) treatment results in elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that leads to cellular damage. Thymoquinone (TQ) is reported to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity and may suppress the generation of free radicals. The goal of this study is reduction
The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases worldwide has increased dramatically in the last decades. Hypoxia and oxidative stress play a central role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Thymoquinone (TQ) is a monoterpenoid hydrocarbon compound that possesses potent antioxidant
Excessive lipid accumulation in white adipose tissue (WAT) results in adipocyte hypertrophy and chronic low-grade inflammation, which is the major cause of obesity-associated insulin resistance and consequent metabolic disease. The development of beige adipocytes in WAT (browning of WAT) increases
Several reports have shown that thymoquinone (TQ) effectively attenuates angiogenesis in cancer cells, resulting in suppression of tumor growth. However, it is not yet clear whether TQ reduces hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression in hypoxic cancer cells. Here, we found that TQ was a novel
Thymoquinone (TQ) and piperine, the active ingredients in cumin (Nigella sativa) and black pepper (Piper longum), respectively, exhibit various bioactivities including anticancer effects. The aim of the present study is to investigate the antineoplastic activity of a combination of TQ and piperine
Earlier studies on isolated arteries demonstrated that the para-quinone thymoquinone, like acute hypoxia, induces augmentation of contractions, depending on biased activity of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), generating inosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic IMP) rather than
BACKGROUND
Neovascularization, also known as angiogenesis, is the process of capillary sprouting from pre-existing blood vessels. This physiological process is a hallmark event in normal embryonic development as blood vessels generally supply both oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. Any
