Casticin is one of the main components of the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia L. Studies have shown that casticin inhibits the growth of various cancer cells, including colon cancer. In the present study, the anti-carcinogenic effects of casticin on human colon cancer and the underlying mechanisms were

Fruit from Vitex rotundifolia L. (VF) has been reported to initiate apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Since various regulatory factors are involved in the apoptotic pathway, further study of the potential mechanisms of VF associated with

Gastric cancer (GC) is mainly widespread gastrointestinal malignancy,which reports for 8% of overallcases in carcinogenesis and 10% of yearly fatality, is 4thprimary cause of cancer associated death global. The plan of the present research was to develop ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo-loaded

Viticis Fructus (VF) as the dried fruit from Vitex rotundifolia L. used as a traditional medicine for treating inflammation, headache, migraine, chronic bronchitis, eye pain, and gastrointestinal infections has been reported to have antiproliferative effects against various cancer cells, including

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Evn-50 extracted from Vitex negundo on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAM-R cells in vitro. METHODS MCF-7 and tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7/TAM-R cells were treated with Evn-50,tamoxifen or combination of Evn-50 and tamoxifen. Cell proliferation

A crude extract was prepared with ethanol from dried ripened Vitex agnus-castus fruits growing in Israel (Vitex extract). Cytotoxicity of the extract against human uterine cervical canal fibroblast (HCF), human embryo fibroblast (HE-21), ovarian cancer (MCF-7), cervical carcinoma (SKG-3a), breast

Three flavonoids, luteolin (1), vitexicarpin (2) and artemetin (3), from the salt marsh plant Vitex rotundifolia, were tested for their anti-proliferative activities in AGS, MCF-7 and HT-29 human cancer cell lines and compared with the control using MTT assay. Among them, 2 was most effective with

Background/aim: Casticin, one of the active components of Vitex rotundifolia L., presents biological and pharmacological activities including inhibition of migration, invasion and induction of apoptosis in numerous human cancer cells in

5,3'-Dihydroxy-6,7,4'-trimethoxyflavanone (DHTMF) is one of the constituents of Vitex rotundifolia, a medicinal herb that is used for the treatment of various disorders in China and Korea. In this study we evaluated the antitumor and antiangiogeneic activities of DHTMF. DHTMF significantly

The proliferation of a human colon carcinoma cell line, COLO 201, was effectively suppressed through apoptosis in the presence of flavonoids, an ethanol extract from Vitex agnus-castus fruits. The induction of apoptosis was not inhibited by the presence of an anti-oxidant, N-acetyl-L-cysteine,

Human pancreatic cancer is known to be the most deadly disease with the lowest 5-year survival rate and is resistant to well known conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in clinical use. Screening of medicinal plants from Myanmar utilizing antiausterity strategy led to the identification of Vitex

Plants and natural compounds have been widely recognized to have potential for the prevention of cancer progression and as complementary or standalone treatments for cancer patients. The major benefits of natural compounds are their reduced toxicity compared to more aggressive and widely utilized

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed at evaluation of the efficacy of Hypericum perforatum and flaxseed on hot flash, vaginal atrophy and estrogen-dependent cancers in menopausal women. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (RCT) to explore trials

Breast cancer is amongst frequently diagnosed cancer type throughout the world. Due to reduced efficacy of current chemotherapeutics, several natural products have been screened for better alternatives. The cytotoxic activity of fractions prepared from leaves extract of Vitex rotundifolia

BACKGROUND Casticin, the flavonoid extracted from Vitex rotundifolia L, exerts various biological effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects and mechanisms of casticin in human gallbladder cancer cells. METHODS Human NOZ and
