Abstract With the assistance of microwave irradiation, greenish‐yellow luminescent graphene quantum dots (gGQDs) with a yield (QY) up to 11.7% are successfully prepared via cleaving oxide (GO) under acid conditions. The and reduction processes accomplished simultaneously using treatment without additional reducing agent. When gGQDs further reduced NaBH 4 , bright blue (bGQDs) obtained QY as high 22.9%. Both GQDs show well‐known excitation‐dependent PL behavior, which could be ascribed...
Red Asian ginseng ( Panax C. A. Meyer, Araliaceae) is used in many Oriental countries. In this study, the saponin constituents and anticancer activities of steamed American quinquefolius L.) roots were evaluated. The contents 12 ginsenosides determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). After steaming treatment (100 - 120 degrees C for 1 h 0.5 4 h), quantity 7 decreased that 5 others increased. content ginsenoside Rg3, a previously recognized compound, increased...
Soybean isoflavones have been used as a potential preventive agent in anticancer research for many years. Genistein is one of the most active flavonoids soybeans. Accumulating evidence suggests that genistein alters variety biological processes estrogen-related malignancies, such breast and prostate cancers. However, molecular mechanism prevention human colon cancer remains unclear. Here we attempted to elucidate anticarcinogenic cells. First evaluated growth inhibitory effect two other...
The phenylboronic acid-conjugated chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by particle surface modification.The size, zeta potential and morphology of the characterized dynamic light scattering, measurement transmission electron microscopy.The cellular uptake, tumor penetration, biodistribution antitumor activity evaluated using monolayer cell model, 3-D multicellular spheroid model H22 tumor-bearing mice.The incorporation acid group into impart a charge-reversible characteristic to...
Baicalin is a major constituent of Scutellaria baicalensis, which commonly used herbal medicine in many Asian countries. After oral ingestion, intestinal microbiota metabolism may change parent compound's structure and its biological activities. However, whether baicalin can be metabolized by enteric the related anticancer activity not clear. In this study, using human microbiome incubation HPLC analysis, we observed that quickly converted to baicalein. We compared antiproliferative effects...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a global epidemic, and the lack of an effective cure highlights necessity urgency to explore novel therapies. Sijunzi Decoction (SJZD), classical Chinese herbal formula, been comprehensively applied clinically proven in treating UC; however, pharmacological mechanism behind its therapeutic benefits is largely obscure. Here, we find that SJZD can restore microbiota homeostasis intestinal barrier integrity DSS-induced colitis. significantly alleviated colonic...
