Cancer is a disease caused by the abnormal proliferation and differentiation of cells governed by tumorigenic factors. Chemotherapy is one of the major cancer treatment strategies, and it functions by targeting the physiological capabilities of cancer cells, including sustained proliferation and

This research is aimed on reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) of chemotherapy in lung cancer. According to our previous research, chemotherapeutic drugs resistance in lung cancer is mainly due to high expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) gene and activation of caspases. The

Tetrandrine (TET), a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid from the root of Stephania tetrandra, is known to have anti-tumor activity in various malignant neoplasms. However, the precise mechanism by which TET inhibits tumor cell growth remains to be elucidated. The present studies were performed to

Patients with refractory epilepsy are resistance to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The mechanisms of drug resistance are varied, but one of them is the overexpression of multidrug transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), in the brain. Tetrandrine (TTD) is a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated

Cepharanthine (CEP), a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from Stephania Cepharantha Hayata, has been used in Japan for treating patients with radiation-induced leucopenia or thrombocytopenia. We treated a patient with multiple myeloma (MM), who was not responding to preceding chemotherapy, who

BACKGROUND Chemotherapy has shown little antitumor activity against advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more effective therapeutic methods for patients with advanced OSCC. Cepharanthine is a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a major cause of cancer deaths in northeast Thailand. It is aggressive, highly metastatic, and responds poorly to traditional chemotherapy. We demonstrated the potential for Cepharanthine (CEP), a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha, to treat CCA.

Chinese Herbal Formulation, supplement energy and nourish lung (SENL), effectively enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy in lung cancer treatment and reverses multi-drug resistance (MDR) in lung cancer cells in vitro. The present study is designed to assess the effect of a New SENL (NSENL, modification

Despite improvement in liver surgery, patient prognoses after surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unsatisfactory. One of the obstacles in managing post-operative recurrence is resistance to chemotherapy. We examined the effect of Cepharanthin (CEP), a natural alkaloid

UNASSIGNED Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major reason for the failure of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC), and the primary determinant of MDR in CRC patients is active drug efflux owing to overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cancer tissues. Despite research efforts to overcome

Cancer is a prominent cause of death globally. Currently, many drugs that are in clinical practice are having a high prevalence of side effect and multidrug resistance. Risk of tumors acquiring resistance to chemotherapy (multidrug resistance) remains a significant hurdle to the successful treatment
