ziziphus cambodiana/neoplasms

Ziziphus jujuba (ZJ) fruit is rich in bioactive functional components such as polysaccharides, triterpenoid acid, flavonoids and oleamide. It has been commonly used in the treatment of various diseases including diabetes, digestive disorders, diarrhea, skin infections, liver and urinary complaints.

On the basis of outpatients' medical records concerning primary liver cancer (PLC), data of 552 patients (with 2020 effective prescriptions) from the Outpatient Department of Changhai Hospital treated by Professor Ling Changquan were collected. The nature, flavor and meridian distribution of the

In addition to modern medicinal therapy, many cancer patients in Taiwan are treated regularly with herbal medicines or prescribed a traditional herbal diet. In this paper, the effect of a Taiwanese traditional herbal diet (TTHD) on pain in terminal cancer patients was investigated. A total of 2,466

In the present study, water extract of dried fruit of Zyzyphus Jujube was tested for its possible anticancer effect and induction of apoptosis on human tumor cell lines, HEp-2, HeLa and Jurkat cell lines. The inhibitory effect of water extract of this fruit on cell proliferation was assessed by MTT

BACKGROUND Ziziphus extracts have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of cancer. OBJECTIVE In the present study we have investigated the effects of Ziziphus jujube extracts (ZEs) on breast cancer. METHODS We evaluated the effects of increasing concentrations of ZEs on ERα

BACKGROUND It has been shown that plants from the family Rhamnaceae possess anticancer activity. In this study, we sought to determine if Ziziphus spina-christi, a species from this family, has cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines. METHODS Using maceration method, different extracts of leaves of Z.

Ziziphus jujuba var. inermis Rehder is an edible fruit-producing species of the Rhamnaceae family. In the present study, we isolated eight triterpenoids (1-8) from the fruits of Z. jujuba var. inermis and evaluated their apoptotic cell-death-inducing activities in human cancer cell lines (A549,

Recently, there are tendency to use natural products such as Ziziphus Jujube (Jujube) as therapeutic agents for cancer. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of anti-cancer effects of Jujube may improve the current therapeutic strategies against cervical cancer. Our MTT data showed a significant

Colorectal cancer, the most common malignancy in Asian and west world, is listed as the fourth lethal neoplastic disease with increasing incidence worldwide. Recently, Ziziphus jujube were reported with hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic functions. The polysaccharides from Ziziphus

This study was designed to evaluate the anticancer activity of Ziziphus mauritiana roots. The dichloromethane and methanol extracts were prepared and anticancer activity was investigated the by using MTT assay. Human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) was used in this study. 50μg/ml of dichloromethane

The growing rate of cancer incidences and inefficiency of current therapies have made scientists to find novel agents such as medicinal plants. Ziziphus jujube is one of these plants whose pharmaceutical effects have been studied for a long time. Recent investigations have proved that bioactive

The Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat is a well-characterized model of spontaneous hepatocarcinogenesis. It has been shown that dietary administration of lycopene or the herbal medicine Sho-saiko-to (TJ-9) has anticarcinogenic activity, although the mechanism by which these products protect against

The failure of chemotherapy especially in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients has been correlated with the overexpression of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) receptor. Thus, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling axis has gained considerable attention as a

Accumulating evidence has reported that the gut microbiota could play important roles in the occurrence and progression of colorectal cancer. The nondigestible plant polysaccharides have always been fermented by the intestinal microbiota. Polysaccharides, the predominant functional composition found

Ziziphus mauritiana (Lamk.) is a fruit tree that has folkloric implications against many ailments and diseases. In the present study, anticancer potential of seed extract of Ziziphus mauritiana in vitro against different cell lines (HL-60, Molt-4, HeLa, and normal cell line HGF) by MTT assay as well
