caryophyllene oxide/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND One approach to improve effect of chemotherapy is combination of classical cytostatic drugs with natural compounds, e. g. sesquiterpenes. In our previous study, sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene oxide (CAO) and trans-nerolidol (NER) improved the anti-proliferative effect of doxorubicin (DOX)

Both PI3K/AKT/mTOR/S6K1 and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades play an important role in cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, and metastasis of tumor cells. In the present report, we investigated the effects of β-caryophyllene oxide (CPO), a sesquiterpene isolated from

Bioautography has been used as rapid and easy strategy to detect and identify bioactive fractions/molecules in the never before investigated Hedyosmum sprucei Solms (Chloranthaceae) essential oil (EO). The antioxidant activity, performed through DPPH bioautographic assay and spectrophotometric

The essential oils (EOs) from leaves, stems, and whole plant of Piper boehmeriifolium were analyzed using GC/FID and GC/MS. The main constituents of P. boehmeriifolium EOs were β -caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, β -elemene, spathulenol, germacrene D, β -selinene, and neointermedeol. The

OBJECTIVE To analyse the chemical composition and evaluation of antioxidant, cytotoxic and DNA fragmentation activities of essential oil of Feronia elephantum Correa. METHODS Chemical composition analysis of hydrodistilled essential oil was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and in

Endometrial cancer is a common malignancy of the female genital tract. This study demonstrates that Siegesbeckia orientalis ethanol extract (SOE) significantly inhibited the proliferation of RL95-2 human endometrial cancer cells. Treating RL95-2 cells with SOE caused cell arrest in the G2/M phase
