cancer is one of the causes of death in the world. several treatment methods exist against cancer cells such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. since traditional methods have side effects on normal cells and are expensive, identification and developing a new method to cancer therapy is very important. antimicrobial peptides, present in a wide variety of organisms, such as plants, amphibians and ...

introduction: for thousands of years, plants have been used as the main source of drug worldwide. recently, it has been found out that the plant artemisia annua and especially its derivatives such as artemether have anticancer properties. methods: in this study, the anticancer effect of artemether on mcf-7 breast cancer cell line was examined. mtt assay was used to assess the viability of cance...

Cancer has emerged as a leading cause of death throughout the world. Peptides are a novel class of anticancer agents that can specifically target cancer cells with low toxicity to normal tissues and thus, offer new opportunities for future cancer treatment. On the other hand, Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, also known to its anticancer property for enabling cell cycle arrest and creating double s...

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...

the present study is aimed at the overall improvement in the efficacy, reduced toxicity and enhancement of therapeutic index of cisplatin. nanocapsules of cisplatin containing ethylcellulose have been prepared using solvent evaporation technique under ambient conditions. the prepared nanocapsules were used for controlled drug release of anticancer agents with gold and iron oxide nanoparticles. ...

the interaction between [pt(phen)(pyrr-dtc)]no3 (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyrr-dtc =pyrrolidinedithiocarbamat) with human serum albumin (hsa) was studied by fluorescence, uv–vis absorption, circular dichroism (cd) spectroscopy and molecular docking technique under like physiological condition in tris–hcl buffer solution at ph 7.4. uv-vis absorption spectroscopy indicates that the pro...
