Effect of Extract on Apoptosis Induction Associated with Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Modulated Intracellular Signaling Pathway in Human Colon HCT116 Cancer Cells.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) stands as one of the most prevalent cancer types and among the most frequent causes of cancer-related death globally. (AC) is a medicinal and edible plant that exhibits a multitude of biological properties, including anticancer properties. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the AC extract on apoptosis induction and the underlying mechanisms associated with this effect in KRAS-mutated human colon HCT116 cells.

A new alkaloid and a new benzaldehyde derivative from the twig of (Roxb.) DC.

A new alkaloid, 2-acetyl-4-methoxyfuro[2,3-]quinoline (), and a new benzaldehyde derivative, (2')-4-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methyl-3'-butenoxy)benzaldehyde (), were isolated from the twig of (Roxb.) DC. along with twenty-six known compounds ().

Protective effect of purple corn silk extract against ultraviolet-B-induced cell damage in human keratinocyte cells.

Ultraviolet-B (UVB) could lead to inflammation and cell death induction. Purple corn silk (PCS), part of female flower of corn has multiple pharmacological properties. This investigation focused on determining the preventive effects of PCS extract on human keratinocyte HaCaT cell damage induced by UVB irradiation.
