deoxynojirimycin/neoplasms

The effect of 1-deoxynojirimycin, a caloric restriction mimetic, was examined in ICR mice with azoxymethane dextran sodium sulfate-induced colorectal cancer. Azoxymethane is a carcinogen (10 mg/kg body weight), and 2% dextran sodium sulfate (w/v) used as a colitis-inducing agent. Mice were separated

Previously N-(8-(3-ethynylphenoxy)octyl-1-deoxynojirimycin 1 has been shown to display properties associated with inhibition of angiogenesis. Here we examined the anti-tumourigenic role of 1 in a lung cancer cell line. This agent altered cell surface oligosaccharide expression and inhibited the

Molecules designed for cell-specific imaging were studied, taking advantage of an enzyme-inhibitor interaction. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) can be actively captured by cells which express the surface membrane protein α-glucosidase. New probes composed of DNJ for recognition linked to a fluorophore

The 1-DNJ named 1-deoxynojirimycinis (2R,3R,4R,5S)-2-(hydroxymethyl) piperidine-3,4,5-triol, which is the nature active components existingin mulberryresources including leaves, stems, roots and silkworm larva, silkworm chrysalis, etc.The 1-deoxynojirimycin is a polyhydroxylated piperidine alkaloid,

β-amyloid deposition and neuroinflammation play a crucial part in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, this study was designed to find the effects of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) purified from mulberry leaves on pathological deposition of Aβ peptides and neuroinflammation in senescence-accelerated-prone

Objective: Stable angina pectoris (SAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and blood stasis syndrome (BSS) is a potentially serious threat to public health. NF-κB signaling is associated with angina pectoris. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which is a unique polyhydroxy alkaloid, is the

1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) is a naturally occurred sugar analogue with unique bioactivities. It was found in mulberry leaves and silkworms, as well as in the metabolites of certain microorganisms, including Streptomyces and Bacillus. 1-DNJ is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor and it possesses

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are essential constituents of cell membranes and lipid rafts and can modulate signal transduction events. The contribution of GSLs in osteoclast (OC) activation and osteolytic bone diseases in malignancies such as the plasma cell dyscrasia multiple myeloma (MM) is not

Since the discovery of α-glucosidase inhibitors and their inhibitory effects on the digestion of carbohydrates, promising results have been obtained as to the antidiabetic effects of this family of compounds. Antiangiogenic compounds have been identified that suppress tumor growth via a unique

The replacement of the oxygen-containing ring (pyranose, furanose) of monosaccharides by a nitrogen-containing ring (pyrrolidine, piperidine) leads to a particularly interesting class of glycomimetics: iminosugars. The first synthesis of such a sugar analog by Prof. H. Paulsen in 1966

The identification of novel combinations of effective cancer drugs is required for the successful treatment of cancer patients for a number of reasons. First, many "cancer specific" therapeutics display detrimental patient side-effects and second, there are almost no examples of single agent

BACKGROUND Beta-glucosidase inhibitors are being extensively studied for use as anti-diabetics, anti-obesity and anti-tumour compounds. So far, these compounds have been reported in large numbers from plants, mushrooms, algae and fungi. There are very few reports of such inhibitors from bacteria in

The incidence of diabetes has increased considerably, and become the third serious chronic disease following cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Though acarbose, metformin, and 1-deoxynojirimycin have good efficacy for clinical application as hypoglycemic drugs, their expensive costs and some degree
