coptis trifolia/neoplasms

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Coptis Chinensis compound on the gene expression of transplanted tumor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line of CNE1. METHODS The cells were injected into Balb/C nude mice, and after the transplanted tumor was established, the nude mice with tumors were treated

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the word. Coptisine (COP), an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from Coptis chinensis Franch, possesses a wide variety of pharmacological effects. However, its anti-proliferative effect on colon cancer is not fully

The inhibitory effect of 10 lignan constituents isolated from the rhizomes of Coptis japonica var. dissecta on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells) has been studied. Among them, pinoresinol, woorenoside-V and

Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from medicinal plants such as Hydrastis canadensis, Berberis aristata and Coptis chinensis. BBR displays a number of beneficial roles in the treatment of various types of cancers, yet the precise mechanisms of its action remain unclear. Cisplatin

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is one of the most common liver diseases in the world. Increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), have been correlated with the patients affected by ALD. However, the direct effect

Coptidis Rhizoma and Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix represent hot Chinese medicine and cold Chinese medicine respectively. The purpose of this study is to observe the differentiation effect of Coptidis Rhizoma and Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix on lewis lung cancer and compare effect of hot Chinese medicine

The aim of the present paper was to investigate the synergistic effect and mechanism of anticancer activity of Zuojinwan ( ZJW) comprising Coptis chinensis Franch ( HL) and Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss.) Benth ( WZY) at a ratio of 6 : 1 (w/w). In vivo anticancer activity testing was carried out by

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‑tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), gefitinib, is an effective therapeutic drug used in the treatment of non‑small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring EGFR mutations. However, acquired resistance significantly limits the efficacy of EGFR‑TKIs and

Coptis chinensis Franch. has been extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine. The chemical structure of oxyepiberberine, as an alkaloid isolated from Coptis chinensis Franch., has been previously studied. However, anti-cancer effects and underlying mechanisms of oxyepiberberine need to be

OBJECTIVE To search for natural benzylisoquinoline alkaloids against tumor. METHODS In this study, taken DNA as target, a method was developed for screening of natural benzylisoquinoline alkaloids against tumor from traditional Chinese medicine by the use of centrifugal ultrafiltration combined with

Blockade of cell cycle re-entry in quiescent cancer cells is a strategy to prevent cancer progression and recurrence. We investigated the action and mode of action of CPF mixture (Coptis chinensis, Pinellia ternata and Fructus trichosanthis) in impeding a proliferative switch in quiescent lung

Current chemotherapeutic strategies for liver cancer have limitations. Thus, the demand for complementary medicine is warranted. We evaluated the antitumor potential of berberine, a naturally bioactive phytochemical from Coptis chinensis Franch against Huh7 cancer cells and WRL68 liver cells. The

OBJECTIVE To study the anticancer action of Zuojinwan in mice transplanted with sarcoma 180 in vivo, and detect the activities of five kinds of tumor markers (TM) including acid phosphotase (ACP), alkaline phosphotase (AKP), creatine kinase (CK), aldolase (ALD) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in

Apoptosis-modulating approaches offer an attractive opportunity for therapeutic use for many tumors. We investigated the effects of the roots of Coptis japonica var. dissecta (Ranunculaceae) on human gastric cancer cells, SNU-668. The cytotoxicity of Coptis japonica at 100 microg/ml (methanol

Berberine is a pure phenanthren alkaloid isolated from the roots and bark of herbal plants such as Berberis, Hydrastis canadensis and Coptis chinensis. Berberine has been established to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells, but its effects on the drug resistance and anoikis-resistance of breast
