Plant lectins are proteins that possess at least one non-catalytic domain, which could reversibly bind to specific monosaccharides or oligosaccharides. The important roles played by plant lectins in immune regulation, signaling pathways, and plant defense could be attributed to their specific

A novel Pinellia ternata lectin was purified from the bulbs of a Chinese herb Pinellia ternata using a combination of hydrophobic chromatography and DEAE-ion exchange chromatography. The lectin was found to be a homodimer of 12093.3 Da subunits as determined by gel filtration and MS. Biochemical

Pinellia pedatisecta Schott (PPS)is a traditional Chinese medicine functioning as reducing swelling and drying dampness. Pinellia pedatisecta Schott extract (PE) has been confirmed to suppress cervical tumor growth and modulate the antitumor

Traditional Chinese medicine, based on theories developed and practiced for >2,000 years, is one of the most common complementary and alternative types of medicine currently used in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Ruanjian Sanjie (RJSJ) decoction, is composed of four herbs, including

BACKGROUND Rhizoma Pinelliae is the dried tuber of Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Rhizoma Pinelliae has antitussive, antiemetic, glandular secretion inhibiting and antitumor effects. OBJECTIVE To optimize the processing technology of Rhizoma Pinelliae

Pinellia ternata is an important medicinal plant used in the treatment of cough, to dispel phlegm, to calm vomiting and to terminate early pregnancy, as an anti-ulcer and anti-tumor medicine. In this study, we found that the complete chloroplast genome of Pinellia ternata was 164 013 bp in length,

Blockade of cell cycle re-entry in quiescent cancer cells is a strategy to prevent cancer progression and recurrence. We investigated the action and mode of action of CPF mixture (Coptis chinensis, Pinellia ternata and Fructus trichosanthis) in impeding a proliferative switch in quiescent lung

Pinellia ternata is a perennial herb that belongs to the Araceae Family. The tuber of the P. ternata plant contains active ingredients such as alkaloids and pinellia starch, and can be used as a Chinese medicine for antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory disorders in humans (Marki et al. 1987). In

The objectives of the study were to investigate the anti-tumour activity of Pinellia ternata polysaccharide in vivo, and to preliminarily explore the possible mechanism of its antitumour action. Mouse model of Ehrlich ascites tumour (solid tumour) was used to detect the serum SOD, MDA and GSH-Px

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents in rhizome of Pinellia ternata. METHODS The constituents were isolated by silica-gel and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. The structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis including 2D NMR techniques. RESULTS Six compounds were obtained and

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The medicinal plant Pinellia ternata has been widely used in China, Korea, and Japan and has been demonstrated to be highly effective for treating cough, vomiting, infection, and inflammatory diseases.

Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) is highly homologous to many other monocot mannose-binding lectins which reportedly possess antitumor activities. Its production in silkworm cells has great application potential because the baculovirus expression system can produce post-translationally modified

Pinellia ternata belongs to the Araceae family and is a medicinal herb. The tuber is the medicinal organ with antitussive, antiemetic and anti-tumor activities. It is easy to encounter high temperature environment during the growth periods, leading to decrease of tuber production. At present, the

In the present study, a polysaccharide fraction (PTP) was isolated and purified from the tubers of Pinellia ternata. We researched its structure and anti-tumor activity, and further studied its molecular mechanism of inducing apoptosis of Hep G2 cells. The results indicated that PTP was an acid

Pinellia pedatisecta (Schott) and Pinellia ternata (Thumb) Breit, whose tuberous stems are an important Chinese medicine, taxonomically belong to Pinellia, Araceae species. Pinellia contains various lectins in their tubers, leading to distinct roles in Chinese medicine. Difference of the lectins,
