2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2--β-D-Glucoside improves female ovarian aging.

Reduced fertility associated with normal aging may reflect the over-maturity of oocytes. It is increasingly important to reduce aging-induced infertility since recent trends show people marrying at later ages. 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2--β-D-glucoside (THSG), a polyphenol extracted from , has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

Heteronemin and tetrac derivatives suppress non-small cell lung cancer growth via ERK1/2 inhibition.

The most common cancer, lung cancer, causes deaths worldwide. Most lung cancer patients have non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) with a poor prognosis. The chemotherapies frequently cause resistance therefore search for new effective drugs for NSCLC patients is an urgent and essential issue.

NDAT Targets PI3K-Mediated PD-L1 Upregulation to Reduce Proliferation in Gefitinib-Resistant Colorectal Cancer.

The property of drug-resistance may attenuate clinical therapy in cancer cells, such as chemoresistance to gefitinib in colon cancer cells. In previous studies, overexpression of PD-L1 causes proliferation and metastasis in cancer cells; therefore, the PD-L1 pathway allows tumor cells to exert an adaptive resistance mechanism in vivo. Nano-diamino-tetrac (NDAT) has been shown to enhance the anti-proliferative effect induced by first-line chemotherapy in various types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC).

Combined Treatment of Heteronemin and Tetrac Induces Antiproliferation in Oral Cancer Cells.

Background: Heteronemin, a marine sesterterpenoid-type natural product, possesses an antiproliferative effect in cancer cells. In addition, heteronemin has been shown to inhibit expression. Our laboratory has demonstrated that the thyroid hormone deaminated analogue, tetrac, activates and induces antiproliferation in colorectal cancer.

Leptin-derived peptides block leptin-induced proliferation by reducing expression of pro-inflammatory genes in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

The obesity-regulated gene, leptin, is essential for diet. Leptin resistance causes obesity and related diseases. Certain types of diet are able to decrease leptin resistance.
