The extracts prepared from various areal parts of the Adenium obesum (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult. (Family: Apocynaceae) including leaves, fruit and seeds ethanolic extracts and seed aqueous extract were evaluated against MCF-7 cells in order to investigate its potential of cytogenotoxicity

Adenium obesum (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult. is a promising medicinal plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. It is a rich source of various phytochemicals such as cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, terpeniods, pregnanes etc. which have different pharmacological properties such as anticancer,

Phytochemical investigation of methanolic extract of Adenium obesum led to the isolation of 42 (1-42) compounds belongs to cardiac glycosides, triterpenoids and steroids. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectral techniques UV, IR, NMR and FAB MS. The cardiac

The aberrant hedgehog (Hh)/GLI signaling pathway causes the formation and progression of a variety of tumors. We recently constructed a cell-based screening system to search for Hh/GLI signaling inhibitors from natural resources. Using our screening system, Adenium obesum was found to include Hh/GLI

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are an important class of nanomaterial used for a wide range of industrial and biomedical applications. Adenium obesum is a plant of the family Apocynaceae that is rich in toxic cardiac glycosides; however, there is scarce information on the anticancer potential of its

Many natural products from plants have been identified to exert anticancer activity. It might be expected to be a challenge to look at the Saudi plants in order to discover new sources for new molecules which may have anticancer activity. The methanolic extracts of forty species of plants
