Microbial carcinogenic toxins and dietary anti-cancer protectants

Anti-carcinogenic and anti-angiogenic properties of the extracts of Acorus calamus on gastric cancer cells

Objective: Acorus calamus (A. calamus) has been used as a medicinal plant in Asia for its effects on digestive system for the last 2000 years. To investigate the anti-cancer activity of rhizome of A. calamus, the ethanolic and methanolic extracts and essential oil of the rhizome were prepared and their effects were assessed on human gastric cancer cell line (AGS). Materials and Methods: The via...

Symposium on Microbial Toxins.

In arranging the symposium on microbial precise information supporting this belief has toxins, an attempt was made to stress those been obtained in studies of dysentery bacilli, aspects in this general field which have not been the Shiga bacillus by British workers, and the discussed frequently. It is for this reason that Flexner bacillus by Goebel in this country. Less emphasis was placed on t...

Introduction to the Toxins Special Issue on Dietary and Non-Dietary Phytochemicals and Cancer

The role of many phytochemicals in the modulation of the carcinogenesis process has been well documented by combining in vitro and animal studies, as well as epidemiological evidence. When acting in synergy, phytochemicals exert potential anti-cancer properties, and much progress has been made in defining their many biological activities at the molecular level. However, an interesting feature i...
