The early diagnosis of prostate cancer and its metastases still remains a great challenge. Recently, olfactory receptors have been found in healthy and malignant prostate tissue. If conjugated to a dye, olfactory receptor ligands would represent candidates for markers of not only
Detection of prostate carcinoma metastases is currently performed either via indirect tests like the prostate specific antigen (PSA) or prostate cancer gene 3 (PCA3) or by biopsies from masses found with medical imaging methods. Our goal was to use an ectopic odorant receptor to target
Various chemotherapeutic agents have been used largely for the treatment of salivary gland cancer. However, results are disappointing, and these agents can cause some serious side effects. Therefore, recent studies have focused on the possible roles of natural products to overcome these
Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in tumor growth and represents a key target for chemopreventive intervention. Despite the large number of existing angiogenesis inhibitors, there is still a great demand for new anti-angiogenic compounds. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of
The rhizomes of Convallaria majalis have been analyzed for their steroidal glycoside constituents, resulting in the isolation of a new 5beta-spirostanol triglycoside, named convallasaponin A, along with two known cardenolide glycosides and a known cholestane glycoside. The structure of
