Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins broadly used in various therapeutic and biomedical applications. The variable affinity of lectins towards variety carbohydrates has raised attention for the biologist to explore functional aspects lectins. express specificity simple example mannose, lactose, sialic acid, complex glycan, glycoproteins. classified based on their sugar as a tool study prot...

Goat is known as poor man’s animal. The fat globules are smaller in goat milk, which makes it easily digestible. Polyunsaturated fatty acids milk fat, mainly responsible for anticancerous behavior of milk. Although protein somewhat low than cow the digestibility higher compared to protein. Taurine present reported have inhibitory action on cardiovascular disease leads synthesis essential amino ...

Potentilla fulgens (Wall.) ex Hook (Rosaceae) is an alpine medicinal plant that found in the Western Himalayas region and its whole parts are consumed all over world as a potent source of therapeutic constituents. Traditionally this frequently used by tribals their various products also uses common peoples for caring diseases especially pyorrhea. The P. different extracts have variety active ph...

Background: Broccoli [Brassica oleracea (L.) var.italica plecnk.] is a cole crop with highly perishability. It rich in vitamin, antioxidants, anticancerous compounds and health promoting chemicals. harvested at tender tight bud stage due to which the deterioration rate high because of respiration broccoli head. This exotic becoming popular since consumers are continuously conscious. has shelf l...

Abstract Background Cancer is one of the most critical but ubiquitous causes death grappled from past decades. Widely used chemotherapy with cytotoxic activity blocks/ kills cancer cell. The compounds targeted for anticancerous are either derived synthetically or naturally (through plants microbial origin). Current day, versatile role in medicinal field has been attributed to secondary metaboli...

It is the purpose of thif; paper to review critically some of the methods and results of the past two decades in cancer research, a branch of pathology which has not failed to share in the general progress of medicine. During this period innumerable experiments have been performed, and the most diverse materials employed, in an endeavor to solve the problem of the cure of cancer. Thus Bra has e...

It was shown previously that the anticancerous cytotoxic oxygenated triterpenes, cucurbitacin E (Cuc E) and its deacetylated form, cucurbitacin I (Cuc I), interacted differently with human serum albumin. In this study, the biochemical stability of Cuc E was investigated in vitro by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The hydrolysis rate in acidic and alkaline solutions, and in...

Targeting cancer cell metabolism is a new promising strategy to fight cancer. Metformin, a widely used antidiabetic agent, exerts antitumoral and antiproliferative action. In this study, the addition of metformin to 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) inhibited mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in prostate cancer cells leading to a severe depletion in ATP. The combination of the two drugs was much more...

Scarcity of protein rich food and food supplements are responsible for protein-energy malnutrition particularly among children and lactating women in the developing countries. Legumes and some dicotyledonous seeds constitute important sources of protein as well as energy. Bioprospecting of such unconventional sources is able to provide food security, agricultural development, self-dependence an...
