BACKGROUND
We have previously reported a continuous activation of caspase-1 and increased interleukin (IL)-1β levels in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These observations raised the hypothesis that drugs targeting the IL-1β pathway, in addition to tumour necrosis factor (TNF), may be particularly
Many small-molecule drugs exhibit poor aqueous solubility, and various approaches have been developed to improve their solubility and delivery. Chemical conjugation of an insoluble drug to a hydrophilic polymer can promote the self-assembly into nanoparticles (NPs) to increase the apparent
As a good photosensitizer, TiO₂ nanomaterials show potential biomedical applications, such as drug carriers or enhancers in photodynamic therapy. In this contribution, novel nanocomposites through the blending of TiO₂ nanofibers with the active compound, gambogic acid (GA), were explored, and the
Gamboge is the dry resin secreted by Garcinia hanburyi Hook.f, with the function of promoting blood circulation, detoxification, hemostasis and killing insects, used for the treatment of cancer, brain edema and other diseases. Gambogic acid is the main effective constituent of Gamboge. The present
Due to the ability of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to induce cancer cell apoptosis selectively, TRAIL has attracted significant interest in the treatment of cancer. However, although TRAIL triggers apoptosis in a broad range of cancer cells, most primary
Garcinia angustifolia is a dry resin secreted by Garcinia cambogia, which has the functions of breaking blood, detoxifying, stopping bleeding and killing insects. It is used for the treatment of cancer and brain edema. Gambogic acid is the primary active ingredient. The present study aimed to
Gamboge, the dried resin secreted by Garcinia maingayii (gambogic tree), was previously demonstrated to exert anti-inflammatory effects. The present study examined the effects of gambogic acid, the major active constituent of gamboge, on myocardial infarction (MI) and inflammation in a rat model and
OBJECTIVE
Gambogic acid (GA) is the major active compound of Gamboge, a brownish or orange resin exuded from Garcinia hanburryi tree in Southeast Asia. Previous studies have demonstrated that GA exhibits potent anticancer effects by inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in many types of cancer
Gambogic acid (GA), a xanthone derived from the resin of the Garcinia hanburyi, has been recently demonstrated to bind transferrin receptor and exhibit potential anticancer effects through a signaling mechanism that is not fully understood. Because of the critical role of NF-kappaB signaling
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to the disruption of cell-cell junctions and imbues cancer cells with invasive and migratory properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of gambogic acid, a xanthone extracted from the resin of Garciania hanburyi, on transforming
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-based combination therapy and gene therapy are new strategies to potentially overcome the limitations of TRAIL, however, the lack of efficient and low toxic vectors remains the major obstacle. In this study, we developed a hyaluronic
The purpose of this study was to determine the potential benefits of combination therapy using dimercaptosuccinic acid modified iron oxide (DMSA-Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) combined with nontoxic concentration of bortezomib (BTZ) and gambogic acid (GA) on multiple myeloma (MM) RPMI-8226
A ternary core/shell based nanoparticulate complex was designed for the sequential and site-specific drug delivery. First, bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) were served as the core for loading gambogic acid (GA). Subsequently, the BSA NPs were adsorbed by polyethylenimine and then
