vitex thyrsiflora/抗癌藥

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,

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this preliminary study is to confirm the synergistic anticarcinogenic potential of Vitex trifolia and Triticum aestivum ethanolic extracts. METHODS Rat hepatic microsomal degranulation is a short - term technique that has been used for the detection of potential

This short review provides an update of the anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of casticin from Vitex species. Casticin is a polymethylflavone with three rings, an orthocatechol moiety, a double bond, two hydroxyl groups and four methoxyl groups. Casticin has been isolated from various

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

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

New clerodane diterpene, 16-hydroxy-pentandralactone (1) and known diterpene acuminolide (2) were isolated from the methanol extract of Vitex cofassus leaves. The chemical structure and the absolute configuration of 1 were determined by MS, NMR and electron circular dichroism (ECD) experiments. The

Pro-inflammatory cytokines induce injury of endothelial cells caused by increases of adhesion molecules, leading to vascular inflammation and the development of atherosclerosis. Recent pharmacological studies have demonstrated that vitexicarpin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, has

Vitexicarpin (VIT) isolated from the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia has shown antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory properties. This work is designed to evaluate the antiangiogenic effects of VIT and address the underlying action mechanism of VIT by a network pharmacology approach. The

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

Flavonoids are distributed in many plants. We studied the antitumor effects of flavonoids isolated from Viticis Fructus, casticin, artemetin, quercetagetin and 5,3'-dihydroxy-6,7,4' -trimethoxyflavanone. Casticin inhibited the growth of KB cells markedly (IC(50)=0.23 microM), compared with the other

Casticin, a component from Vitex rotundifolia, widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent in Chinese traditional medicine, was reported to have anti-tumor activities. This study aims to examine the anti-leukemic activity of casticin on leukemia cells and its molecular mechanism. Cell viability was

Metallic nanoparticles are major concern, particularly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in various applications. In the present investigation, we report a novel strategy with biological approach for synthesis of AgNPs using sodium para-hydroxybenzoate tetrahydrate (SPHT) isolated from Vitex

Plant species are widely used in tea form in Brazil, but little is known about scientific aspects of the effect of these aqueous extracts on human health or on genetic material. Mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of three plant species, Vitex montevidensis Cham. (Lamiaceae), Gochnatia cordata
