Paclitaxel: Application in Modern Oncology and Nanomedicine-Based Cancer Therapy
Sharifi-Rad, J; Quispe, C; Patra, JK; Singh, YD; Panda, MK; Das, G; Adetunji, CO; Michael, OS; Sytar, O; Polito, L; Živkovic, J; Martins, NPaclitaxel is a broad-spectrum anticancer compound, which was derived mainly from a medicinal plant, in particular, from the bark of the yew tree Taxus brevifolia Nutt. It is a representative of a class of diterpene taxanes, which are nowadays used as the most common chemotherapeutic agent against many forms of cancer. It possesses scientifically proven anticancer activity against, e.g., ovarian, lung, and brea...
Plant-derived bioactives and oxidative stress-related disorders: A key trend to...
Salehi, B; Azzini, E; Zucca, P; Varoni, EM; Kumar, NVA; Dini, L; Panzarini, E; Rajkovic, J; Fokou, PVT; Peluso, I; Mishra, AP; Nigam, M; Rayess, YEPlants and their corresponding botanical preparations have been used for centuries due to their remarkable potential in both the treatment and prevention of oxidative stress-related disorders. Aging and aging-related diseases, like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, which have increased exponentially, are intrinsically related with redox imbalance and oxidative stress. Hu...
Lifestyle, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidants: Back and Forth in the Pathophysi...
Sharifi-Rad, M; Anil Kumar, NV; Zucca, P; Varoni, EM; Dini, L; Panzarini, E; Rajkovic, J; Tsouh Fokou, PV; Azzini, E; Peluso, I; Prakash Mishra, AOxidative stress plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Long term exposure to increased levels of pro-oxidant factors can cause structural defects at a mitochondrial DNA level, as well as functional alteration of several enzymes and cellular structures leading to aberrations in gene expression. The modern...
