The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) primarily functions through acetylcholine (ACh)-alpha7 nicotinic receptor (α7nAChR) interaction on macrophages to control peripheral inflammation. Interestingly, ACh can also bind α7nAChRs microglia resulting in neuroprotective effects. However, effects astrocytes remain elusive. Here, we investigated the of nicotine, an agonist, cytokine and cholinesterase production immunocompetent human stimulated with interleukin 1β (IL-1β) vitro. In...
Abstract Altered activity of the proteolytic machine—the 26S proteasome is observed in many disease conditions. Hence, either inhibition or activation thought to be a novel therapy for treatment certain diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we tested potential cinnamon one its active ingredients, procyanidin‐B2 (PCB2), inhibiting catalytic activities suppressing prostate cell growth. Proteasome were measured using fluorogenic substrates specific different...
Cinnamon contains bioactive substances with diverse medicinal properties. We investigated the anticancer potential of abundant monophenols from cinnamon, namely, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and eugenol, by hypothesizing that they possess proteasome inhibitory activities capable suppressing cancer cell proliferation inducing apoptosis. This hypothesis was tested evaluating compounds, assessing downstream molecular cellular events are known to be impacted inhibitors. The cinnamon compounds...
The enantiopure synthesis of clavatustides A (<bold>1</bold>) and B (<bold>3</bold>) were accomplished by a seven step synthetic protocol starting from commercially available (<italic>R</italic>)-phenyllactic acid.
Abstract Cinnamon and its bioactive compounds inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation in vitro. The aim of the current study was to assess chemopreventive efficacy cinnamon (CN) vivo using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) testosterone (T) induce carcinogenesis male Wistar/National Institute Nutrition rats. Cancer-induced (CI) rats (n = 10) developed prostatic hyperplasia intraepithelial neoplasia. These histopathologic changes were diminished CI fed for 4 months with diets supplemented either...
