The study investigated the extraction process of active ingredients from akebia stem and an analysis of their anti-gastric cancer activity. Three different extraction methods were used to obtain extracts, namely the decoction method (group A), reflux extraction method (group B), and maceration method (group C), of which reflux extraction method and maceration method used ethanol as the extraction solvent, while decoction method used distilled water for extraction. The differences in anti-gastric cancer activity of the three extracts were compared. MTT assay was used to test and compare the inhibitory effects of extracts obtained in A, B, and C groups on gastric cancer cells. The results showed that the dry extract obtained by heat reflux extraction with "water-ethanol" ratio of 1:2, extractant volume of 70 ml, with ethanol as extraction solvent presented the best inhibitory activity on gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells in this study. Its inhibitory effect did not change over time, and was directly proportional to the concentration.

Wogonin suppresses proliferation, invasion and migration in gastric cancer cells via targeting the JAK-STAT3 pathway.

Wogonin is a compound extracted from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Geogi and has been found to exert antitumor activities in a variety of malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-gastric cancer (GC) effects of wogonin remain poorly understood. In the present study, we found that wogonin treatment inhibited the proliferation of GC cells, induced apoptosis and G0/G1 cell arrest, and suppressed the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells in vitro.

In this study, a homogeneous polysaccharide, named YDOP-1 was isolated form Dendrobium officinale using hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. YDOP-1 was characterized to be a typical O-acetyl-glucomannan with the molecular wight was 13,456 Da. Cell viability and colony forming assay showed that YDOP-1 possess moderate anti-gastric cancer effects.

The aim of this study was to investigate the key targets and signaling pathways of paeoniflorin (PF) for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). First, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of gastric cancer were obtained by analyzing GSE118916 Gene Chip, and then the active components of paeoniflorin and their targets of action were found. And the intersection genes of the two were analyzed for target and pathway analysis.
