protocatechuate/neoplasms

BACKGROUND We characterize a novel nanocomposite that acts as an efficient anticancer agent. METHODS This nanocomposite consists of zinc layered hydroxide intercalated with protocatechuate (an anionic form of protocatechuic acid), that has been synthesized using a direct method with zinc oxide and

The therapeutic potential of gallic acid and its derivatives as anti-cancer, antimicrobial and antiviral agents is well known. We have examined the mechanism by which natural gallic acid and newly synthesized gallic acid alkyl esters and related protocatechuic acid alkyl esters inhibit HIV-1

BACKGROUND Tagetes patula Linn. (Asteraceae) (French Marigold) flowers are used by local practitioners for cancer treatment; however, it lacks scientific justification. OBJECTIVE Identification of bioactive compounds in T. patula flower for cytotoxic and growth inhibition in human cancer cell lines
