There is a huge demand for novel anticancer agents with fewer side effects compared to current therapies. Pitaya, or dragon fruit, reservoir of potent compounds. This research aimed analyze the phytochemical components Hylocereus undatus pulp and peel extracts using LC-MS GC-MS, investigate in vitro both against cancer (breast, MCF-7, colon, Caco-2) normal (lung; WI-38 breast; MCF-10A) cell proliferation MTT assay. The apoptosis potential was also evaluated flow cytometry, RT-PCR, Western...

Resveratrol (RSV), a non-flavonoid stilbene polyphenol, possesses anti-carcinogenic activities against all the major stages of cancer. Zein nanoparticles (ZN NPs) have been utilized successfully in delivery variant therapeuticals by virtue their histocompatible nature. The goal this work was to comparatively explore antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and oxidative stress potentials RSV-ZN NPs versus RSV human colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells. ZN-RSV were developed assayed for particle size...

Aim: The antiviral potentials of rosmarinic acid (RA) against Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus were investigated. Methods: Antiviral activity was investigated by evaluating the reduction in viral infectivity titer. Computational and LC–MS studies performed for investigating mechanism action. This is via testing interaction between RA its major metabolite with key proteins determination cellular permeability. Results: A superior RVF titer (45.5%) observed when applied post-infection compared to...

Abstract Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly employed in cancer treatment, but its clinical use restricted due to the MTX‐associated renal injury. This study investigates combined potential of Rhus coriaria (sumac) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) against MTX‐induced nephrotoxicity rats. The high‐resolution‐liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (HR‐LC‐MS) sumac extract tentatively identified 22 phytochemicals, mostly flavonoids, anthocyanins, steroids. Preparation liposomes...
