It is of interest to report the chemotherapeutic (drug target based) potential of n-hexane Cayratia trifolia L. (C.trifolia) extract on A2780 cell lines. mRNA and protein expression analysis of the human chemokine receptor (CXCR4) and human epidermal growth factor receptors-2 (HER2) were studied using RT-PCR analysis and western blot analysis. The results show significant cell growth inhibition with minimal IC50 values of 46.25 ± 0.42 micro g/mL against A2780 cell lines. mRNA and protein expression were considerably reduced in treated A2780 cell lines for further consideration as a chemotherapeutic agents.

As novel promising anticancer candidates, the piano-stool type complexes of ruthenium, [RuCl(η-p-cymene)(N,S-L)]PF, K-, were synthesized from the reaction of the substituted benzo[b]thiophene based thiosemicarbazone ligands (L) with [{RuCl(η-p-cymene)}(μ-Cl)]. All complexes were fully characterized using elemental analysis, and spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR and H NMR. The molecular masses of the complexes were proved by MALDI-TOF analysis.

New treatment strategies for ovarian cancer, which is the deadliest female reproductive tract malignancy, are urgently needed. Here, we investigated the anticancer effects of fenbendazole (FBZ), a benzimidazole compound, on the regulation of apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe in A2780 and SKOV3 human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. Functional experiments, including Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8), colony formation, and flow cytometry assays, were conducted to explore the effects of FBZ on the malignant biological behavior of A2780 and SKOV3 cells.

Lotus seeds, also known as Nelumbinis semen, has been utilized for over 7,000 years as vegetable, functional food and medicine. In this study, we primarily investigated the anticancer effects of lotus seed extracts, particularly of the methanolic extract (MELS) on cell proliferation inhibition, apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest in ovarian cancer cell lines. Further, we studied the phytochemical composition of the MELS by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of chronic stress promoting ovarian cancer growth comorbid with depression and evaluate the potential role of histamine (HIS) in treating this comorbidity.
Methods: Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was used to establish a comorbid mouse model of ovarian cancer and depression. The behavioral phenotypes were assessed using the sucrose preference test (SPT), tail suspension test (TST), forced swimming test (FST), and open field test (OFT).

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is a common malignancy in the female reproductive system, characterized by poor prognosis and high recurrence rates. The discovery of dependable molecular markers is crucial for improving the timeliness of detection, diagnosis, and treatment, ultimately aiming to lower fatality rates. CNNM4 (cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 4), a member of the CNNM (Cyclin M) family, binds to PRL (prolactin) to regulate magnesium homeostasis and influence tumor cell proliferation.
