Researchers isolated 9 polyacetylenes from Saposhnikovia divaricata roots, including 5 new compounds, and determined their structures. Compound 9 showed moderate cytotoxicity against HEPG2 cancer cells.
Thyme essential oils from Montenegro have antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. TVEO had higher cytotoxic effects and tumor-suppressive properties than TSEO, making them potential candidates for cancer treatment.
Bruceantinol (BOL) from Brucea javanica inhibits growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells by binding to STAT3, showing promise as a therapeutic agent for OS.
Researchers extracted polysaccharide-rich materials from olive leaves, finding antioxidant, alpha-amylase inhibition, and antiproliferative activities. The extract showed potential for functional food development due to synergistic effects of its compounds.
Scientists modified molecules to create potential cancer treatment with low toxicity. Tested on liver, breast, and prostate cancer cells, showing promise for treatment with good cell compatibility.
Morindone, a compound from Morinda citrifolia, shows promise as a potential anticancer agent for colorectal cancer with mutated TP53 and KRAS genes, exhibiting anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects through multiple mechanisms.
Researchers successfully synthesized bimetallic nanoparticles (CS-Pd/ZnO NCs) using a natural extract, assessing their antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. These nanoparticles showed potential for cervical cancer treatment by inducing cell death and apoptosis.
