phlorizin/neoplasms

Adult-type hypolactasia results from the progressive decline of lactase-phlorizin hydrolase activity in enterocytes after weaning. Lactase nonpersistence may determine a primary lactose intolerance with reduced diary product consumption, which is possibly related to an increased risk of colon

Dapagliflozin is a SGLT2 (Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitor that reduces circulating glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients by blocking the SGLT2-dependent reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. Dapagliflozin is metabolized by UGT1A9 (UDP Glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, Polypeptidase

For beta-D-glucosylisophosphoramide mustard (beta-D-Glc-IPM), a new alkylating drug in which isophosphoramide mustard is stabilized, a higher selectivity and lower myelotoxicity was observed than for the currently used cytostatic ifosfamide. Because beta-D-Glc-IPM is hydrophilic and does not diffuse

Seven dihydrochalcone compounds were isolated from the leaves of Malus crabapples, cv. "Radiant", and their chemical structures were elucidated by UV, IR, ESI-MS, ¹H-NMR and (13)C-NMR analyses. These compounds, which include trilobatin (A1), phloretin (A2), 3-hydroxyphloretin (A3), phloretin

A new series of glucose-conjugated Pt(IV) complexes that target tumor-specific glucose transporters (GLUTs) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activities. All six compounds, namely, A1-A6, exhibited increased cytotoxicity that were almost six fold higher than that of

Obesity, along with its related complications, is a serious health problem worldwide. Many studies reported the anti-diabetic effect of phlorizin, while little is known about its anti-obesity effect. We investigated the beneficial effects of phlorizin on obesity and its complications, including

Phloridzin (phlorizin or phloretin 2'-O-glucoside) is known for blocking intestinal glucose absorption. We have investigated the anticarcinogenic effect of phloridzin and its novel derivatives using human cancer cell lines. We have synthesised novel acylated derivatives of phloridzin with six

D-19575 is a glucose derivative of ifosfamide mustard with a broad spectrum of antitumor activity in animal models. In comparison with ifosfamide, D-19575 is less toxic and is better tolerated by tumor-bearing animals, achieving a better therapeutic efficacy. D-19575 is directly cytotoxic in

While sterilely monitoring transepithelial voltage (potential difference) across LLC-PK cell sheets over a 24-hr period, we noted that the apical-negative, transepithelial voltage, a key property of the LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cell line, reverses polarity to become apical-positive. This spontaneous

As malignant neoplasm is a major public health problem, there is a need for the development of a novel modulator that enhances antitumor activity and reduces adverse reactions to antitumor agents. In this study, the effects of some volatile oil components in Humulus lupulus on doxorubicin (DOX)

The dog is the non-rodent species the most often used in preclinical drug safety evaluation. In this study, we established a new system of precision-cut dog renal cortical slices, evaluated their biochemical, functional, and morphological integrity, and determined the effects of cisplatin

Over the past two decades, many researchers have concluded that a diet rich in polyphenolic compounds plays an important therapeutic role in reducing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, diabetes, and other degenerative diseases. Polyphenolic compounds have been reported to be

Five dihydrochalcone compounds, including phlorizin, trilobatin, 3-hydroxyphlorizin, sieboldin and phloretin 2'-xyloglucoside, were isolated from ornamental Malus 'Red Splendor' fruit. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by LC-ESI-MS and NMR. Phloretin and 3-hydroxyphloretin

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate whether exogenously induced hyperinsulinemia may increase the development of atherosclerosis. UNASSIGNED Hyperinsulinemia, induced by exogenous insulin implantation in high-fat fed (60% fat HFD) apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (ApoE-/-) mice,

Glucose transport across glioblastoma membranes plays a crucial role in maintaining the enhanced glycolysis typical of high-grade gliomas and glioblastoma. We tested the ability of two inhibitors of the glucose transporters GLUT/SLC2A superfamily, indinavir (IDV) and ritonavir (RTV), and of one
