background: present investigations were carried out to evaluate an ethanolic extract of oxalis corniculata linn. for its anticancer and antioxidant activity in ehrlich acsites carcinoma (eac) - induced in swiss albino mice. methods: cancer was induced in mice by aspiration of peritoneal fluid of eac inoculated mice and diluted to get 1x10 6 cells/ml in phosphate buffer. cancerous animals were d...

cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. despite the availability of several chemotherapeutic drugs, there is still a great need for more efficient agents for a better management of cancer. in this contribution, a series of 11 dhps (4a, 4b & 7a-i) were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effect against mcf-7, ls180, and molt-4 cancer cell lines using mtt assay. synthesized 2,6-di...

objective(s): breast cancer imposes a highest rate of malignancy among the women all around the world. chitin and its derivatives such as d-glucosamine-carboxymethyl chitin and di-hydroxy propyl chitin have immune-modulating effects and influence on innate and acquisitive immunity which lead to cell activity enhancement. the aim of this study was investigating the effect of d-glucosamine nanopa...

gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) plays a key role in reproduction. this decapeptide is synthesized and released by hypothalamus and induces the pituitary gonadotrop cells to release pituitary gonadotropin hormones. in some extrapituitary compartments gnrh and its receptor act as part of the autocrine regulatory system of cell proliferation. the anticancer activity of gnrh and its analogues...

cancer is one of the main causes of mortality in the world which appears by the effect of enviromental physico-chemical mutagen and carcinogen agents. the identification of new cytotoxic drugs with low side effects on immune system has developed as important area in new studies of immunopharmacology. thymoquinone (tq), derived from the medicinal spice nigella sativa (also called black cumin) ex...

the quantitative structure–activity relationship of a series of novel thiazoline derivatives with anticancer activity has been studied by using the density functional theory by b3lyp/ 6-31g. descriptors of quantum mechanics of 21 thiazoline derivatives with known activity were obtained. multiple linear regressions were employed to model the relationships between molecular descriptors and biolog...

cancer is one of the main cause of mortality in the world which appears by the effect of enviromental physico-chemical mutagen and carcinogen agents. the identification of new cytotoxic drug with low sid effects on immune system has developed as important area in new studies of immunopharmacology. curcumin is a natural polyphenol with anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties...

Chalcones, or 1,3–diaryl–2–propen–1–ones, one of the major classes of natural products and posses many useful properties like anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti–inflammatory, antimalarial and anti–diabetic activity. We report in this communication the synthesis and anticancer study of a number of novel chalcone sulfonamides. Our results indicate that the synthesis of chalcone sulfonami...

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer world wide and has been occurred more in developing regions. The use of conventional chemotherapy agents may lead to various adverse effects. Therefore, it is required to find the potential drug for anticancer from alternative source of natural product including mangrove plants. The present study was conducted to determine the anticancer activit...
