Abstract:
... Effective combination therapies are urgently needed to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which is insensitive to the existing treatment regimens. However, the synergistic potency of traditional small-molecule combinations is limited in TNBC mainly due to mismatched molar ratios, inconsistent pharmacokinetics, and intratumoral accumulation of individual drugs. Here, we find that the autop ...

Abstract:
... Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for prostate cancer, with paclitaxel being commonly used for hormone-resistant prostate cancer. However, drug resistance often develops and leads to treatment failure in a variety of prostate cancer patients. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the sensitivity of prostate cancer to chemotherapy. Lovastatin (LV) is a natural compound extracted from Monasc ...

Abstract:
... Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are mainstay treatments for cancer patients. However, their clinical outcomes are highly limited by the resistance of malignant tumors to these therapies and the incurrence of serious damages in vital organs. This in turn necessitates the development of adjunct drugs that overcomes chemo/radioresistance in refractory cancers and protects vital organs from the cytotoxi ...

Abstract:
... The pharmacological activities of C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids are related to their basic skeletons (e.g., aconitine-type or lycoctonine-type). Also, few studies have been reported on the chemosensitizing effects of diterpenoid alkaloids. Consequently, this study was aimed at determining the chemosensitizing effects of synthetic derivatives of lycoctonine-type C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids on a P-glycopr ...

Abstract:
... Cisplatin drug resistance is a serious impediment for the therapeutic success against platinum-based chemotherapy in several cancers. Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid from Nelumbo nucifera is an effective anticancer agent which has shown potential to reverse the chemo-resistance in cisplatin-resistant colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. The purpose of the study to explore the mechanism of che ...

... The lack of clinical response to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) in pediatric diffuse midline/intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) has been associated with O⁶-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) expression and mismatch repair deficiency. Hence, a potent N(3)-propargyl analogue (N3P) was derived, which not only evades MGMT but also remains effective in mismatch repair deficient cells. Due ...

Abstract:
... Salidroside (Sal), the major active constituent of Rhodiola rosea L., is considered as a potential pro-drug with various activities; however, its role in tumor therapy is not clear. Here, we demonstrated in vitro and in vivo that Sal enhanced the inhibitory activity of doxorubicin (DOX) in drug-resistant cancer cell lines. Our results showed that combination drug treatment (Sal and DOX) significan ...

Abstract:
... Chemotherapy is an effective therapeutic modality which is commonly used for battling various cancers. However, several side effects induced by chemotherapeutic drugs would limit their clinical use. The present systematic review aims to evaluate the role of curcumin/curcuminoids co-administration during gastric cancer chemotherapy. This systematic review was done according to PRISMA guidelines and ...

Abstract:
... Breast cancer (BC) has high incidence and mortality rates, making it a major global health issue. BC treatment has been challenging due to the presence of drug resistance and the limited availability of therapeutic options for triple-negative and metastatic BC, thereby urging the exploration of more effective anti-cancer agents. Hesperidin and its aglycone hesperetin, two flavonoids from citrus sp ...

Abstract:
... Aflatoxins are a group of carcinogenic and mutagenic fungal secondary metabolites that have threatened human health and global food security. Aflatoxin contamination can be controlled by applying fungicides, such as strobilurins. Although these compounds have been effective, they may be risky to the environment due to their wide usage. In this study, plant-based compounds were tested to promote th ...
