corchorus/neoplasms

Chromatographic fractionation of the methanolic extract of Corchorus olitorius (L.) (Tiliaceae), on silica gel yielded two polyphenolic compounds. The structures of the compounds were elucidated as Methyl-1,4,5-tri-O-caffeoyl quinate and trans-3-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acrylic anhydride, based on

A facile bottom-up "green" synthetic route of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) is described, using a leaf extract of the Malvaceae plant Corchorus olitorius as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The size and shape of the obtained nanoparticles were modulated by varying the amounts of the metal salt and

Grammothele lineata, an endophyte isolated in our laboratory from jute (Corchorus olitorius acc. 2015) was found to be a substantial paclitaxel producer. Taxol and its related compounds, produced by this endophyte were extracted by growing the fungus in simple nutrient media (potato dextrose broth,

Dietary uptake of heavy metals through the consumption of vegetables grown on polluted soil can have serious human health implications. Thus, the study presented in this paper investigated the bioaccumulation and associated dietary risks of Pb, Zn, and Cd present in vegetables widely consumed in

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of Corchorus olitorius (C. olitorius) leaf extract in the prevention of metabolic syndrome induced in rats by high-fat diet (HFD) and compare it with that of orlistat. METHODS Phytochemical analysis was performed. Effect of orlistat and C. olitorius extract on

Adenine (6-amino-6H-purine), found in molokheiya (Corchorus olitorius L.), has exerted vasorelaxation effects in the thoracic aorta. However, the mode of action of the anti-inflammatory effect of adenine is unclear. Thus, we investigated to clarify the effect of adenine on chronic inflammation of

Corchorusin-D (COR-D), isolated from Corchorus acutangulus, was reported to induce apoptosis in leukemic cells. However, no studies concerning its activity on melanoma cells have been reported. We have evaluated its in vitro anti-cancer activity on melanoma cells (B16F10, SK-MEL-28, and A375). The

Corchorus olitorius (jute) is a native plant of tropical Africa and Asia, and has since spread to Australia, South America and some parts of Europe. Its leafy vegetable is popularly used in soup preparation and folk medicine for the treatment of fever, chronic cystitis, cold and tumours. A

Saponins, plant glycosides, have been reported to possess anti-cancer properties. Therefore the effect of corchorusin-D (COR-D), a compound isolated from Corchorus acutangulus, was studied in the chronic myelogenous leukemic cell line K562, using MTT assay, phase contrast and confocal microscopy,

Grammothele lineata strain SDL-CO-2015-1, jute (Corchorus olitorius) endophyte has been reported to produce anti-cancer drug paclitaxel in culture condition. Here we investigated the genome using different bioinformatic tools to find its association with the production of commercially important
