erythrina variegata/neoplasms

Erythrina corallodendron L., a kind of landscape tree, has long been used as a traditional medicine. In this study, the composition of essential oil extracted from the leaves was analysed by GC-MS (gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer), with linalool identified as the main compound. Its cytotoxicity

The anti-tumor activities and mechanism of Erythrina variegata L. extract were investigated. Firstly, the MTT method was used to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the Erythrina variegata L. extract on proliferation of cancer cell lines. Moreover, in order to determine its anti-tumor effect in

Lectins from Erythrina cristagalli (EGA) and Erythrina corallodendron (ECorA) are well-known to detect type 2 chain oligosaccharides (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc). These carbohydrate moieties are the biosynthetic precursors of various ABH and Lewis blood group antigens and are therefore also related to

Based on the soluble MTT tetrazolium/formazan assay, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of Erythrina variegata proteinase inhibitors in some tumor hematopoietic stem cell lines. Among the proteinase inhibitors, EBI, which belongs to the Bowman-Birk family of inhibitors, was cytotoxic in relatively

Simple, yet an effective and rapid approach for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using root extract of Erythrina indica and its in vitro antibacterial activity was tried against human pathogenic bacteria and its cytotoxic effect in breast and lung cancer cell lines has been

Among mitotic kinases, Aurora kinases are the most widely studied, since their expression is restricted to mitosis. They play a key role in chromosome segregation and cell polyploidy. Aurora kinases are important therapeutic targets, and several research groups have directed their efforts toward the

The period of the past 5 years has witnessed a remarkable increase in all of the number, structural variety, and complexity of erythrinan alkaloids reported. This structural diversity seems to be most pronounced in the alkaloids reported from the two species Erythrina arborescens and Erythrina

In recent years, research efforts are under-way on the possibilities of utilization of natural source of bioactive compounds for the dietary management of certain chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer etc. In this connection, seed materials of promising wild

This study was conducted to explore the novel anticancer compounds from Chinese herbs. During the process of screening, to evaluate the potential chemopreventive effect of natural compounds, Xanthoxyletin was isolated from Erythrina variegata. It has been reported that Xanthoxyletin possesses
