phytolacca rugosa/neoplasms

Phytolacca acinosa polysaccharides I (PAP-I), a kind of purified polysaccharides, isolated from Phytolacca acinosa Roxb was found to significantly augment the cytotoxicity of murine splenocytes and interleukin-2 (IL-2) activated splenocytes against P815 tumor cells in vitro. The optimal

Esculentoside A (EsA) is a saponin isolated from the roots of Phytolacca esculenta. Previous experiments have shown that it has strong anti-inflammatory effects. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a very important inflammatory mediator. It is known that there are two types of TNF-TNFalpha is from

Biotinylated lectins and avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex were used to study the correlation between cellular glycoconjugates' expression and squamous maturation in normal canine skin and in various epithelial neoplasms. Normal skin tissue was obtained from five, male, random-source dogs, 5 to 7

Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), a ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the leaves of Phytolacca americana, reveals potent antiviral activity against viruses or cytotoxic action against cells once inside the cytoplasm. Therefore PAP is a good candidate to be used as an immunotoxin. We

Native Americans have used Phytolacca americana to treat breast ailments, gastrointestinal disorders, rashes, and inflammation. Some anti-cancer and anti-viral research has been reported on this perennial herb, but none has been published concerning the effects of its extracts on cancer cell genes.

The antiproliferative and antitumor activities of americanin A (1), a neolignan isolated from the seeds of Phytolacca americana, were investigated in human colon cancer cells. Compound 1 inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 human colon cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. The induction of G2/M

OBJECTIVE Homeopathy is controversial, due to the claims made for very high dilutions. Although several theories are proposed to understand the mechanisms of action, none are scientifically verified. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the selected homeopathic medicines in specific in

OBJECTIVE To investigate the anticancer effects of warming and relieving cold phlegm formula (, WRCP), a Chinese medical mixture composed of the aqueous extracts of Aconitum carmichaeli, Rhizoma bolbostemmatis, Phytolacca acinosa, Panax notoginseng, and Gekko swinhonis Gūenther, combined with

The antitumor activities of Phytolacca acinosa polysaccharides I (PAP-I) and its effects on the induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and immunological cytotoxicity of peritoneal macrophages were studied. PAP-I was given ip 5-20 mg.kg-1.d-1 x 7 d to ICR mice as priming agent with subsequent

A water-soluble saponin, Esculentoside H (EsH), 3-O-(O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-xylopyranosyl)-28-β-d-glucopyranosylphytolaccagenin has been isolated and purified from the root extract of perennial plant Phytolacca esculenta. EsH is known to be an anticancer compound, having a capacity for TNF-α

The in vivo effects of Phytolacca acinosa polysaccharides I (PEP-I) on immunologic cytotoxicity of mouse peritoneal macrophages and its production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) were studied. PEP-I 80, 160 mg/kg was given ip twice every 4 d. Both doses were found to have

Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) survive in inflammatory microenvironment, their survival are regulated by inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways. Esculentoside A (EsA), a triterpene saponin derived from the root of Phytolacca esculenta, possesses antiinflammation effects; but whether it has

Effects of Phytolacca acinosa polysaccharides I (PAP-I), 5 approximately 40 mg/kg in timing of 7 times/wk, 3 times/wk and 1 time/wk on their antitumor efficiency in Sarcoma-180 bearing mice were comparatively investigated. The results confirmed that PAP-I (10 mg/kg, 3 times/wk) reached its optimal

Esculentoside A (EsA) is a saponin isolated from the roots of Phytolacca esculenta. Previous experiments showed that it had strong anti-inflammatory effects. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is an important inflammatory mediator. In order to study the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of EsA, it

Esculentoside A (EsA) is a saponin isolated from the roots of Phytolacca esculenta. This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacological effects of EsA on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia and primary microglia cells. Our results indicated that EsA pretreatment significantly
