ANTICANCER EFFICACY OF SOME PLANT PHENOLICS - A RECENT SCENARIO

The anticancer properties of aspirin are restricted by its gastrointestinal toxicity and its limited efficacy. Therefore, we synthesized phospho-aspirin (PA-2; MDC-22), a novel derivative of aspirin, and evaluated its chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive efficacy in preclinical models of triple nega[r]

One of the most important initial tasks for any teacher is the task of knowing his clients. The notion of needs analysis is absolutely central. Even with as few details as we have outlined above, there are certain things that we can assume about this group. First, given thei[r]

In our soccer team the operators are the attackers or forwards, and the
maintainers are the defenders. Of course, the maintainers can go forward
and help the operators score a goal. Similarly, the operators can drop back in defence and help stop goals being scored ag[r]

Among top-down models, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models have assumed particular importance. One of the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models known as The Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) is a global project aiming at facilitating high quality[r]

so small. Moreover, these same plants are of the utmost importance to man. Some of them do him great injury, while others aid him very much. [Pg 128]
You will see their importance when you are told that certain of them in their habits of life cause great change[r]

In recent years, a large number of guava orchards have become chronically affected by bronzing because of imbalanced nutrient management. Hence, the experiment on effect of foliar application of secondary and micronutrients on major growth parameters viz., plant height (cm) and plant canopy spread ([r]

Emodin is a biologically active, naturally occurring anthraquinone derivative (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylan- thraquinone) that is produced by lichens, fungi and higher plants that possess purgative, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects [15-18]. In addition, emodin has been shown to[r]

We generalize, extend, and improve some recent fixed point results in cone metric spaces including the results of H. Guang and Z. Xian 2007 ; P. Vetro 2007 ; M. Abbas and G. Jungck 2008 ; Sh. Rezapour and R. Hamlbarani 2008 . In all our results, the normality assumption,[r]

But estuaries are often difficult areas to manage successfully because of all the conflicting interests that exist. Whilst local partnerships between communities, industry and government can be, and have been, very helpful in addressing some of the problems facing estuarine e[r]

Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among newborns. C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) have some limitations in the diagnosis of preterm neonatal sepsis. In this study, the cut-offs of PCT and CRP, and the efficacy of mean platelet volume (MPV) were investigated.

Interstitial pneumonitis is a rare reaction in a previously irradiated area of pulmonary or thoracic lesion after treatment with anticancer drugs such as taxanes.

Recent years have witnessed the rapid evolution of therapies in chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML). To assess the efficacy and tolerability of all reported front-line treatments for patients with newly diagnosed CML, a multiple-treatments meta-analysis was performed, which accounted for[r]

In the Netherlands incident, there were two layers in the slops tank, which was almost full. The lower layer was a stable emulsion of water in heavy oil; the upper layer was a mixture of oils with an initial boiling poi[r]

This paper provides some general estimates of the socioeconomic development in recent years and offers some directions and solutions needed for promoting the restructuring of the economy and innovation in the growth model up to 2020.

In the present study, an in vitro tumor tissue model was constructed using alginate hydrogel, and in vitro cytotoxic efficacy of two anticancer drugs cisplatin and DZNep was investigated[r]

Our results revealed that across the four SSA countries, the profiles of households that are predicted to be poultry keepers and those that are predicted to keep ―larger‖—that is, sized above the national average—small-scale flocks are in fact similar. In each of the study countries,[r]

A common approach to cancer therapy in clinical practice is the combination of several drugs to boost the anticancer activity of available drugs while suppressing their unwanted side effects. s. In this regard, we examined the efficacy of combination treatment with the widely-used genotoxic drug dox[r]

Production of secondary metabolites from plant tissue culture has emerged as a promising and feasible option attracting the attention of scientists worldwide. Plant cell, tissue and organ cultures offer an attractive alternative for homogeneous, controlled production of secondary metabolites, throug[r]

The experiment was conducted to know the effect of four plant extracts viz. neem, garlic, Cassia tora, and ginger extract were used for different soaking period 0, ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours) for testing the efficacy of plant extract against seed mycoflora of okra.

Cardiac glycosides are natural compounds used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. Recently, they have been reported to exhibit anticancer activity. Proscillaridin A (PSN-A), a cardiac glycoside constituent of Urginea maritima has been shown to exhibit anticancer ac[r]
