erythrophleum fordii/抗癌药

BACKGROUND Plants that are used as traditional medicine represent a relevant pool for selecting plant candidates that may have anticancer properties. In this study, the ethnomedicinal approach was used to select several medicinal plants native to Nigeria, on the basis of their local or traditional

The incidence of lung cancer has increased while the mortality rate has continued to remain high. Effective treatment of this disease is the key to survival. Therefore, this study is a necessity in continuing research into new effective treatments. In this study we determined the effects of three

Two new cassaine-type diterpenoids, namely erythrofordins D (1) and E (2), sourced from a Cameroon collection of Erythrophleum suaveolens were isolated and assessed for anti-tumor activity. In the NCI-60 cancer cell assay, erythrofordins D (1) and E (2) were found to be cytotoxic in the low micro

Apoptosis pathways in cells are classified into two pathways: the extrinsic pathway, mediated by binding of the ligand to a death receptor and the intrinsic pathway, mediated by mitochondria. Apoptosis is regulated by various proteins such as Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) family and cellular FLICE

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in embryonic development and various physiological processes. However, excessive angiogenesis is associated with several pathological conditions including cancer. Angiogenesis is closely related to tumor growth, invasion and metastasis, and is considered a prime

BACKGROUND Herbal plants are a preferred source of anticancer agents. This study aims to screen the anticancer activity of a crude extract of twigs of (a) Bombax anceps Pierre var. anceps (BA); (b) Catunaregam tomentosa (Blume ex DC.) Tirveng. (CT); (c) Erythrophleum succirubrum Gagnep. (ES); (d)

Angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, playing an essential role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. 3β-Acetyl-nor-erythrophlamide (3-ANE), a cassaine diterpene alkaloid compound from Erythrophleum fordii, exerts various pharmacological effects, including antitumor activity. However,
