astragalus dahuricus/抗癌药

β-elemene is an effective anticancer drug extracted from Rhizoma curcumae. It is a non cytotoxic antineoplastic agent, which can obviously inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. In this paper, we observed the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of β-elemene and Astragaloside on human hepatoma

Astragalus membranaceus has been used to ameliorate the side effects of antineoplastic drugs because of its immunomodulating nature. We had recently demonstrated that total Astragalus saponins (AST) possess anticarcinogenic and proapoptotic properties in human colon cancer cells and tumor xenograft.

Shi-Quan-Da-Bu-Tang (Ten Significant Tonic Decoction), or SQT (Juzentaihoto, TJ-48) was formulated by Taiping Hui-Min Ju (Public Welfare Pharmacy Bureau) in Chinese Song Dynasty in AD 1200. It is prepared by extracting a mixture of ten medical herbs (Rehmannia glutinosa, Paeonia lactiflora,

Objective: Some species of Astragalus are used for the treatment of various types of cancer. The present study was designed to evaluate the anticancer potential of Astragalus ovinus extract (AOE) against DMBA-induced breast

Enhancing the anti-tumor activity of LAK cells is one of problems which are expected to be solved in tumor clinic at present. The effects of Shengmaisan with Astragalus membranaceus (SMAM) on anti-tumor activity of LAK cells with the 3H release assay were studied. The LAK cells taken from 43 persons

The Shi-ka-Ron, and its constituent Chinese herbs Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Astragalus membranaceus and Ligusticum Wallichii were administered with antitumor agent, mitomycin C (MMC) to ICR mice, and their effects on murine macrophages and lymphocytes were studied. Peritoneal macrophages were

Roots of Astragalus membranaceus (Fish.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao (A. membranaceus) have been long used as an auxiliary reagent supporting cancer treatment. Here, we compared the chemical composition and antitumor immunomodulating activity of polysaccharides from roots of A. membranaceus

The polysaccharides of Astragalus membranaceus have received extensive study and attention, but there have been few reports on the extraction of these polysaccharides using cold water (4 °C). In this study, we fractionated a novel cold-water-soluble polysaccharide (cAMPs-1A) from Astragalus

The alcohol-soluble polysaccharide (ASP) was extracted from Astragalus membranaceus, and their preliminary structural characteristics and in vivo antitumor activity were investigated in this study. The contents of total sugar, protein and uronic acid in ASP was 92.04%, 0.51% and 1.42%, respectively.

Recently, we demonstrated that Astragalus polysaccharide (PG2), the active ingredient in dried roots of astragalus membranaceus, ameliorates cancer symptom clusters and improves quality of life (QoL) in patients with metastatic disease by modulating

Oxidative stress has been increasingly recognized as a major contributing factor in a variety of human diseases, from inflammation to cancer. Although certain parts of signaling pathways are still under investigation, detailed molecular mechanisms for the induction of diseases have been elucidated,

In the present study, we investigated the antitumor and immunomodulatory activity of Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharide (AMP) on liver cancer using murine H22 hepatocarcinoma model. The results showed that AMP (100 and 400 mg/kg) could effectively inhibit the solid tumor growth of H22

With cancer deaths increasing, the initiation, pathophysiology and curative management of cancer is receiving increasing attention. Traditional therapies such as surgery and chemoradiotherapy are often accompanied by suppression of host immunity, which increase the risk of metastasis. Astragalus

Baicalein, an active ingredient separated from Astragalus membranaceus, has shown its anticancer ability in various cancers. However, its effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma has not been explored yet. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of baicalein on the growth, proliferation,

Astragalus membranaceus, a commonly used Chinese medicinal plant, has been shown to be capable of restoring the impaired T cell functions in cancer patients. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor effects of A. membranaceus were investigated. Five bioactive fractions were isolated from
