Wedelolactone is one of the active plant polyphenolic compounds. Anti-tumor effects of this drug have been demonstrated recently. We have described that wedelolactone acts as catalytic inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase IIα. The aim of this study was to further characterize the mechanism of its
Identification or development of new drugs to be used singly or in combination is critical in anticancer research. In recent years, accumulating evidence encouraged us to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of a small and emerging phytochemical wedelolactone in estrogen dependent and
The bone is the most common metastatic site of breast cancer. Bone metastasis causes pain, pathologic fractures, and severely reduces the quality of life. Breast cancer causes osteolytic bone metastasis, which is dependent on osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. While current treatments rely on
UVB (Ultra-violet B) radiation is one of the major etiological factors in various dermal pathology viz. dermatitis, actinic folliculitis, solar urticaria, psoriasis and cancer among many others. UVB causes toxic manifestation in tissues by inciting inflammatory and tumor promoting events. We have
Wedelolactone, a plant coumestan, was shown to act as anti-cancer agent for breast and prostate carcinomas in vitro and in vivo targeting multiple cellular proteins including androgen receptors, 5-lipoxygenase and topoisomerase IIα. It is cytotoxic to breast, prostate, pituitary and myeloma cancer
The c-Myc gene encodes an oncoprotein transcription factor that is frequently upregulated in almost all cancer types and is the subject of intense investigation for management of cancer because of its pleiotropic effects controlling a spectrum of cellular functions. However, due of its nonenzymatic
Emerging studies indicate that metabolism of arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (5-Lox) pathway plays a critical role in the survival of prostate cancer cells raising the possibility that 5-Lox can be targeted for an effective therapy of prostate cancer. Wedelolactone (WDL), a medicinal
In the study, a new photoresponsive nano drug delivery system was developed by encapsulating indocyanine green into liposomes (ICG-liposomal wedelolactone), which could improve the water solubility and bioavailability of wedelolactone. The hyperthermia, produced by ICG under near-infrared (NIR)
A major caveat in the treatment of breast cancer is disease recurrence after therapeutic regime at both local and distal sites. Tumor relapse is attributed to the persistence of chemoresistant cancer stem cells (CSC), which need to be obliterated along with conventional chemotherapy. Wedelolactone,
Wedelactone (WL), a plant polyphenolic derivative of coumestan, represents a promising anti-cancer agent. The underlying mechanisms of its action are not fully understood and appear to involve interplay with copper ions. Herein, we examined coordination and redox interactions of WL with Cu2+ in
Wedelolactone is known to have biological activities such as anti-inflammation hepatitis, anti-hepatotoxic activity, and trypsin inhibitory effect. However, up to date, there has not been any deep study on the role of wedelolactone for zymosan-induced signaling pathways in the process of regulating
Wedelolactone is an herbal medicine that is used to treat septic shock, hepatitis and venom poisoning. Although in differentiated and cancer cells, wedelolactone has been identified as anti-inflammatory, growth inhibitory, and pro-apoptotic, the effects of wedelolactone on stem cell differentiation
In this study, an antitumor drug delivery system, gold nanoshell coated wedelolactone liposomes (AuNS-Wed-Lip), were designed and synthesized. In the drug delivery system, wedelolactone liposome and gold-nanoshell were linked by l-cysteine, which had been shown an effective nanocarrier for antitumor
OBJECTIVE
Melanoma is a malignant tumor with high degree of malignancy, metastasis and high mortality. As melanoma is not sensitive to treatments, searching for new therapeutic agent is the priority. Wedelolactone (WDL) is a natural compound which has antiproliferation activities. In the current
Plants and their natural components sophisticated with the cornerstone of traditional conventional medicinal system throughout the globe for many years and extend to furnish mankind with latest remedies. Natural Products act as lead molecules for the synthesis of various potent drugs. In the current
