dihydroxycinnamic acid/neoplasms

The inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), the key enzyme for the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs), has generated increasing enthusiasm as anti-inflammatory and antitumor strategies in recent years. Based on our previous studies, we synthesized a series of dihydroxycinnamic acid-based analogs that

BACKGROUND 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid and its derivatives exhibit numerous biologic activities. Such activities have not previously been reported for 3,5-dihydroxycinnamic acid derivatives. In this study, ten derivatives of 3,5- dihydroxycinnamic acid were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory

OBJECTIVE The anti-proliferation effect of caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid), isolated from Ocimum gratissimum Linn, on human cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) was examined to elucidate the associated mechanism and death mode. METHODS Flow cytometry showed that caffeic acid treatment

A series of novel diosgenin (DSG) and tigogenin (TGG) derivatives with diosgenin or tigogenin steroid aglycons linked to levulinic and 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acids, dipeptides and various amino acids by an ester bond at the C3-oxygen atom of the steroid skeleton has been synthesized. Diosgenyl esters

Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, CA) has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. However, the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of CA in skin inflammation are only partially understood. The present study was designed to investigate the effects

The efficacy of cancer treatments is often limited and associated with substantial toxicity. Appropriate combination of drug targeting specific mechanisms may regulate metabolism of tumor cells to reduce cancer cell growth and to improve survival. Therefore, we investigated the effects of

OBJECTIVE Ocimum gratissimum is a herbal medicine and caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is one of its main components. Caffeic acid is known to control the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduce the activity of cancer cells, and enhance immunity in the human body. The amounts of

In a previous paper [Cha, B.Y., Park, C.J., Lee, D.G., Lee, Y.C., Kim, D.W., Kim, J.D., Seo, W.G., Moon, S.K., Kim, C.H., 2003. Inhibitory effect of methanol extract from Euonymus alatus on matrix metalloproteinase-9, J. Ethnopharm. 85, 163-167], methanol extracts prepared from stems of Euonymus

Many anticancer drugs that are currently used in cancer treatment are natural products or their analogues by structural modification. Caffeic acid (3, 4-dihydroxycinnamic acid; CA) is classified as hydroxycinnamic acid and has a variety of potential pharmacological effects, including antioxidant,

Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is a well-known phenolic phytochemical present in coffee and reportedly has anticancer activities. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and targeted proteins involved in the suppression of carcinogenesis by caffeic acid are not fully understood. In

This study aimed to determine the health-promoting properties of sweet pepper by comparing the activity of fractions with variable lipophilicity. Fractions from red pericarp: aqueous (F1), 40% MeOH (F2), and 70% MeOH (F3) were analyzed for antiradical activity (with DPPH^• and

Metformin shows benefits in anticancer prevention in humans. In this study, normal human fibroblasts (FB) and metastatic cervical cancer cells (SiHa) were exposed to 10 mM Metformin (Met), 100 μM Caffeic Acid (trans-3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, CA) or combination of the compounds. Both drugs were

Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is a well-known phenolic phytochemical present in many foods, including coffee. Recent studies suggested that caffeic acid exerts anticarcinogenic effects, but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms and specific target proteins. In this

The small molecules, natural antioxidant Caffeic Acid (trans-3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid CA) and anti-diabetic drug Metformin (Met), activate 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and interfere with metabolic reprogramming in human cervical squamous carcinoma cells. Here,
