The dichloromethane fraction from Calotropis gigantea (L.) dryand. Stem bark extract prevents liver cancer in SDT rats with insulin-independent diabetes mellitus.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand. (C.

Combination of ethyl acetate fraction from Calotropis gigantea stem bark and sorafenib induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells.

The cytotoxicity of the ethyl acetate fraction of the Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand. (C.

Enhanced apoptosis of HCT116 colon cancer cells treated with extracts from stem bark by starvation.

stem bark extract, particularly the dichloromethane fraction (CGDCM), demonstrated the most potent antiproliferative effects on hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and colorectal HCT116 cells. The current study focused on enhancing the effectiveness of cancer treatment with CGDCM at concentrations close to the IC50 in HCT116 cells by reducing their nutrient supply. CGDCM (2, 4, and 8 μg/mL) treatment for 24 h under glucose conditions of 4.

stem bark extract activates HepG2 cell apoptosis through ROS and its effect on cytochrome P450.

The 95% ethanolic extract of the dry powder of () stem bark was separated by fractionation with different solutions to yield 4 fractions: dichloromethane (CGDCM), ethyl acetate (CGEtOAc), and water (CGW). This research focused on CGDCM-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells with IC50 and above-IC50 values, which provide useful information for future anticancer applications. CGDCM had lower cytotoxicity on normal lung fibroblast IMR-90 cells than on HepG2 cells.

Calotropis gigantea stem bark extracts inhibit liver cancer induced by diethylnitrosamine.

Several fractions of Calotropis gigantea extracts have been proposed to have potential anticancer activity in many cancer models. The present study evaluated the anticancer activity of C. gigantea stem bark extracts in liver cancer HepG2 cells and diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced primary liver cancer in rats.

Epigallocatechin gallate triggers apoptosis by suppressing de novo lipogenesis in colorectal carcinoma cells.

The de novo lipogenesis (DNL) pathway has been identified as a regulator of cancer progression and aggressiveness. Downregulation of key lipogenesis enzymes has been shown to activate apoptosis in cancerous cells. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibits cancer cell proliferation without causing cytotoxicity in healthy cells.

Calotropis gigantea stem bark extract induced apoptosis related to ROS and ATP production in colon cancer cells.

Conventional chemotherapeutic agents for colorectal cancer (CRC) cause systemic side effects and eventually become less efficacious owing to the development of drug resistance in cancer cells. Therefore, new therapeutic regimens have focused on the use of natural products. The anticancer activity of several parts of Calotropis gigantea has been reported; however, the effects of its stem bark extract on inhibition of cancer cell proliferation have not yet been examined.

Dried mulberry fruit ameliorates cardiovascular and liver histopathological changes in high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice.

Background And Aim: Metabolic disease encompasses most contemporary non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular and fatty liver disease. Mulberry fruits of L. are a favoured food and a traditional medicine.

Sialoblastoma of the cheek: A case report and review of the literature.

Sialoblastoma is a rare salivary gland tumor that recapitulates the primitive salivary gland anlage. The authors herein report a case of sialoblastoma of a minor salivary gland, clinically presenting with progressive enlargement of a mass in the cheek of a 1-year-old female infant. Histopathologically, the mass consisted of tight clusters of basaloid cells and partially formed ductal and pseudo-ductal spaces separated by thin fibrous bands.

Result of arthroscopic removal of an enchondroma at the talar dome: a case report.

Enchondroma is a benign tumor that is generally asymptomatic and rarely found in the talus. A forty-nine-year-old man, had a chronic left ankle pain which related to moderate to heavy activity. A plain radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 1.

Anorectal malignant melanoma: report of two cases from Buddhachinnaraj Hospital.

Anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare disease and has a uniformly poor prognosis. The following are two reported cases from Buddhachinaraj Hospital. A 55-year-old and a 65-year-old female patients presented with rectal bleeding.

Primary peritoneal adenosarcoma with stromal overgrowth and fetal type cartilage: a case report and literature review.

Primary peritoneal adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth and fetal-type cartilage presented in a 48-year-old female patient is described. The tumor seems likely to have derived from the pelvic peritoneum, wheareas the uterus, ovaries and tubes were uninvolved. It was composed of benign-appearing glands and a sarcomatous component showing cartilaginous differentiation.
