Ethnopharmacological relevance: 22β-hydroxytingenone (22-HTG) is a quinonemethide triterpene isolated from Salacia impressifolia (Miers) A. C. Smith (family Celastraceae), which has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of diseases, including dengue, renal infections, rheumatism and cancer. However, the anticancer effects of 22-HTG and the underlying molecular mechanisms in melanoma cells have no...
Cancer is still a major barrier to life expectancy increase worldwide, and hematologic neoplasms represent a relevant percentage of cancer incidence rates. Tumor dependence of continuous proliferative signals mediated through protein kinases overexpression instigated increased strategies of kinase inhibition in the oncologic practice over the last couple decades, and in this review, we focused our discussion on...
Gastric adenocarcinoma has high incidence and mortality rates worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antitumor activity of benzothiazole AFN01 against ACP03 gastric adenocarcinoma cell line. Furthermore, computational prediction of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this molecule and the molecular docking with the relevant pharmacological target found were performed. The MTT assay was pe...
Experimental oncology is based on a model of study through cell culture, a technique frequently used for the study of cancer biology and for tests of new anticancer therapies. This model provides an appropriate system for researching the effects of drugs and toxic compounds on cells, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, in drug screening and development. In addition the cell lines allows consistent and reproducible ...
