Lung cancer is the most prevalent in cancer-related deaths, while breast carcinoma is the second most dominant cancer in women, accounting for the most number of deaths worldwide. Cancers are heterogeneous diseases that consist of several subtypes based on the presence or absence of hormone

The current gold standard for prostate cancer treatment is androgen deprivation therapy and antiandrogenic agents. However, adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure can limit therapeutic use. Istaroxime, which combines Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) inhibition with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum

OBJECTIVE Evidence indicates that the cardiac glycoside oleandrin exhibits cytotoxic activity against several different types of cancer. However, the specific mechanisms underlying oleandrin-induced anti-tumor effects remain largely unknown. The present study examined the anti-cancer effect and

Streblus asper Lour. (Moraceae) is a medicinal plant in Asian countries including India and Thailand, possessing activities of anti-tumor, anti-allergy, anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial. In this paper, characterization, quantitation and similarity evaluation of cardiac glycosides in different parts

Chemical investigation of the seeds of Adonis aestivalis has led to the isolation of a new cardenolide (3β,5α,14β,17β-tetrahydroxycard-20,22-enolide) (1), two new glycosides (2, 3) of 1, and a new strophanthidin hexaglycoside (4), together with a known compound, strophanthidin

From the methanol extract of the stem bark of the African tree Antiaris africana Engler, two new bioactive metabolites were isolated, namely, the α-amyrin derivative 1β,11α-dihydroxy-3β-cinnamoyl-α-amyrin (antiarol cinnamate, 1) and a cardiac glycoside,

A novel in vitro assay for the discovery of anticancer agents was used to examine aqueous and organic extracts from 1847 plants collected mainly in the U.S. Southwest and West. The assay results were separated into 5 categories: inactive (62%), equally active (36%), equally active and potent (0.5%),
