Ginsenoside Rh_2,firstly isolated from red ginseng,is protopanaxadiol type of steroidal saponin. Rh_2 possessed variety of activities,but bioavailability of oral administration Rh_2 was extremely low due to poor absorption. Moreover,ginsenoside Rh_2 exhibited toxicity on human normal cells.
Although many studies have investigated meat and total fat in relation to pancreatic cancer risk, few have investigated dairy, fish and specific fatty acids (FAs). We evaluated the association between intake of meat, fish, dairy, specific FAs and related nutrients and pancreatic cancer. In our
The liposomal delivery of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rHuTNF) has been shown to be effective in reducing its toxic effects and in its targeting of organs rich in cells of the reticuloendothelial system. However, native recombinant human TNF shows only poor affinity for liposomes,
Coconut oil (CO) is enriched with medium chain saturated fatty acids like lauric acid (LA), capric acid and caprylic acid, which are known to have several health benefits. LA, the predominant fatty acid in CO, is reported to possess anticancer activity mediated through oxidative stress-induced
Prothymosin alpha (PTA) mRNA and histone H4 (H4) mRNA levels were studied in various experimental conditions that affected GH1 pituitary tumor cell proliferation. Cell proliferation and progression through the cell cycle was assessed by counting cells, 3H-thymidine incorporation and flow cytometry.
Post-transcriptional silencing of antiapoptotic genes is a promising strategy for cancer therapy, but delivering short interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules against such targets is challenging due to inability of anionic siRNA to cross cellular membranes. Lipid substitution on small molecular weight,
The rectal absorption of a platinum anti-tumor agent, [bis (acetato) ammine dichloro (cyclohexylamine) platinum(IV)] (BMS-182751), was investigated in rats. BMS-182751 was co-ground with various carriers to improve its poor aqueous solubility. The highest drug dissolution was observed for the
There are many causes of frequent urination. Whenever water or fluids are consumed, the patient has to urinate within 10 or 20 min. Often urinary bladder examinations & blood tests show no significant abnormalities, & treatment by anti-bacterial or anti-viral agents does not improve the symptoms
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and the current therapy seems to have reached a plateau due to toxicities and acquired resistance. Therefore, exploration of novel therapeutic avenues may be useful. Si Jun Zi Tang (SJZ), a four-herb Chinese medicine formula first
Intrahepatic implants of M114 carcinoma in B6D2F1/J mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg sodium caprylate (octanoate), and implants of Nb2 lymphoma in Nb rats were treated with 300 mg tricaprylin orally. After 4-11 h extensive damage to tumor cells was evident microscopically
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) mutant TNF-SAM2 has previously been shown to have a therapeutic profile superior to parental TNF. To initially evaluate the characteristics of liposomal formulations of TNF-SAM2, it was modified with the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of caprylic acid to increase its
High grade glial tumors (HGGs) including anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO Grade-III) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO Grade-IV) are among the most malignant cancers known to man. Due to their defective mitochondria, HGG cells consume glucose via glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. Overall
The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is usually late, due to the lack of early detection of biomarkers for HCC. Metabolomics analysis has emerged as a useful tool for studying human diseases. The objective of the study was to investigate the differences in plasma metabolites
