alpinumisoflavone/neoplasms

Alpinumisoflavone (AIF) as principal active ingredient of traditional Chinese herb Derris eriocarpa exerts a broad spectrum of anti-cancer activities against solid tumors. However, little is known about the effect of AIF on Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC). Objectives of this study are to investigate

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. The present study is aimed to investigate the role of alpinumisoflavone (AIF), a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, in ccRCC and the underlying mechanism. In this study, miR-101 has been identified as a novel

OBJECTIVE Colorectal Cancer (CRC) accounts for 6.1% incidence and 9.2% mortality worldwide. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of alpinumisoflavone (AIF) on CRC and its possible molecular mechanism. METHODS HCT-116 and SW480 cells were chosen as cell model to study the anti-cancer

BACKGROUND In medical oncology, multi-drug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells continues to be a major impediment. We are in quest of novel anti-proliferative agents to overcome drug-resistant tumor cells. METHODS In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxicity of 7 naturally occurring phenolic

As a common subtype of malignant gliomas, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is associated with poor prognosis. This study is aimed to examine the anti-cancer activities of alpinumisoflavone (AIF) and its underlying mechanisms. Our results demonstrated that AIF inhibited the proliferation of GBM cells

Despite the availability of anticancer drugs, breast cancer remains the most death-causing tumor-related disease in women. Hence, there is a need for discovery and development of efficient alternative drugs, and sources such as plants need to be explored. In this study, antioxidant capacities and

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors, and the extent of tumor hypoxia correlates with advanced disease stages and treatment resistance. The transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) represents an important tumor-selective molecular target for anticancer drug discovery directed

Derris eriocarpa, a traditional Chinese medicine belonging to the family of Leguminosae, is widely distributed mainly over Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou of China. Modern pharmacological researches on this herb showed that it had extensive bioactivities, such as promoting urination, removing dampness
