The resulting extract material has excellent photosensitizer properties, is easy to handle, has a low cost, and low toxicity. This material has the prope...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in colon cancer cells treated with isorhamnetin glycosides from Opuntia ficus-indica pads.
(OFI) contains health-promoting compounds like flavonoids, being the isorhamnetin glycosides the most abundant. We evaluated the effect of OFI extracts with different isorhamnetin glycosides against two different human colon cancer cells (HT-29 and Caco2). The extracts were obtained by alkaline hydrolysis with NaOH at 40 °C during 15, 30 or 60 min. Tri and diglycosides were the most abundant is...
متن کاملThe Structure and Mechanical Properties of Spines from the Cactus Opuntia Ficus-indica
