Chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin, gemcitabine, and pemetrexed boost immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in lung cancer, but low response rates and side effects hinder widespread use.
This study investigates Brevilin A, a component of Centipeda minima, in treating lung cancer using network pharmacology. Understanding its mechanisms could lead to promising new therapies.
Arnicolide D from Centipeda minima shows promising anticancer effects by inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and suppressing metastasis. It targets key signaling pathways and displays broad-spectrum cytotoxicity, warranting further investigation for potential clinical use.
Arnicolide C has promising antitumor effects in breast cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and targeting 14-3-3θ protein. Further research needed on specific mechanism.
Researchers identified and examined the chemosensitizing effects of Centipeda minima extracts, revealing that it inhibits FANCD2 activity. Understanding how this works could lead to improved cancer treatments.
Brevilin A, a natural compound, has been discovered to have anti-tumor properties in prostate cancer cells. In our study, we investigated the relationship between Brevilin A and the biological behaviors of these cells. We found that Brevilin A inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and also promoted apoptosis. This was achieved by suppressing the expression of lncRNA H19 and E2F3, while increasing the level of miR-194. Furthermore, our experiments using a mouse model confirmed that Brevilin A had a tumor-repressing effect. Overall, Brevilin A shows promise as a potential treatment for prostate cancer.
The plant Centipeda minima has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various ailments. Recent studies show that the ethanol extract of C. minima has anti-bacterial, anti-arthritis, and anti-inflammatory properties, but its effects on neuroinflammation are unknown. No reports have been made on the mechanisms behind this.
