Background: More than 90% of oral cancers are cases of squamous cell carcinoma. Standard treatment of cancer includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Each of these treatments, however, brings about certain problems and side effects. Today herbal medicine, has become a more

Overexpression of the protein transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp, MDR1) at the cell surface is a major cause of multidrug resistance (MDR) and poor response to treatment in cancer chemotherapy and therapy for leishmaniasis. The present study shows that conferone, a sesquiterpene coumarin ether isolated

Bladder cancer is the second common cancer of the genitourinary system throughout the world and intravesical chemotherapy is usually used to reduce tumour recurrence and progression. Human transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is an epithelial-like adherent cell line originally established from primary

The main objective of cancer management with chemotherapy (anticancer drugs) is to kill the neoplastic (cancerous) cell instead of a normal healthy cell. The bioassay-guided isolation of two new sesquiterpene coumarins (compounds 1 and 2) have been carried out from Ferula narthex collected from

In multidrug resistance (MDR), cancer cells exposed to anticancer agents develop resistance to a wide variety of chemicals and chemotherapeutic agents. Sesquiterpene coumarins are reported to inhibit P-glycoprotein and/or increase cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs in P-gp-overexpressing cell lines.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of most fatal cancers. In most patients it is resistant to chemotherapy. Ferula gummosa gum, Scutellaria lindbergii, Kelussia odoratissima, and Artemisia kopetdaghensis are herbs about which there are some cytotoxic activity reports. In this study, cytotoxic and

BACKGROUND The current chemotherapy for cutaneous leishmaniosis (CL) has a series of drug limitations such as toxic side effects, long duration, high costs and drug resistance, which requires the development of new drugs or effective alternatives to the CL treatment. Essential oils (EOs) are complex

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the main cause of failure in the chemotherapy of cancer patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of sesquiterpene coumarins of Ferula gummosa fruits on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated MDR. Drimane-type sesquiterpene coumarins from the fruits of F.
