Exploring the anti-cancer potential of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLPs) and their versatile role in enhancing drug delivery systems: a multifaceted approach to combat cancer.

Scientists discovered that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLPs) have anti-cancer effects, reducing chemotherapy toxicity and aiding drug delivery. GLPs-based nanoparticles were examined for targeted delivery. This research suggests GLPs could inhibit cancer, minimize chemo side effects, and complement combination therapies.

Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) attenuates azoxymethane-induced colorectal cancer by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic pathways in rats.

The study investigated the toxic effect and chemoprotective potential of Pimpinella anisum L. seeds (PAS) against colon cancer. Results suggest that PAS at 400 mg/kg can inhibit aberrant crypto foci incidence and decrease oxidative stress, making it a potential additive for colorectal cancer pharmaceuticals.

Biogenic synthesis of dopamine/carboxymethyl cellulose/TiO(2) nanoparticles using Psidium guajava leaf extract with enhanced antimicrobial and anticancer activities.

Researchers synthesized titanium oxide (TiO) and dopamine (DA)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-doped TiO nanoparticles (NPs) using Psidium guajava leaf extract. The NPs showed larger zones of inhibition against pathogens and higher anticancer activity compared to TiO NPs. These findings suggest the potential of DA/CMC/TiO NPs for various applications.
