Targeting the PI3K/pAKT/mTOR/NF-κB/FOXO3a signaling pathway for suppressing the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in rats: Role of the natural remedic Suaeda vermiculata forssk.

Liver malignancy is well recognized as a prominent health concern, with numerous treatment options available. Natural products are considered a renewable source, providing inspiring chemical moieties that could be used for cancer treatment. Suaeda vermiculata Forssk has traditionally been employed for management of hepatic conditions, including liver inflammation, and liver cirrhosis, as well as to improve general liver function.

Design and construction of novel pyridine-pyrimidine hybrids as selective COX-2 suppressors: anti-inflammatory potential, ulcerogenic profile, molecular modeling and ADME/Tox studies.

NSAIDs represent a mainstay in pain and inflammation suppression, and their actions are mainly based on inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.Due to the adverse effects of these drugs, especially on the stomach and heart, scientists efforts have been directed to manufacture selective COX-2 without cardiovascular side effects and with minimal effects on the stomach. The cardiovascular side effects are thought to be related to the chemical composition rather than mechanism of action of these drugs.

Isatin-based benzyloxybenzene derivatives as monoamine oxidase inhibitors with neuroprotective effect targeting neurogenerative disease treatment.

Eighteen isatin-based benzyloxybenzaldehyde derivatives from three subseries, ISB, ISFB, and ISBB, were synthesized and their ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) was evaluated. The inhibitory activity of all synthesized compounds was found to be more profound against MAO-B than MAO-A. Compound ISB1 most potently inhibited MAO-B with an IC of 0.

Involvement of PI3K/HIF-1α/c-MYC/iNOS Pathway in the Anticancer Effect of in Rats.

Forssk. ex JF Gmel. (SV), a traditional known plant, has shown in vitro cytotoxic activity against HepG2 and HepG-2/ADR (doxorubicin-resistant cells) liver cell carcinoma cell lines, as well as hepatoprotection against paracetamol and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury.
