Anti-angiogenic activity of inositol hexaphosphate (IP6).
A significant anticancer activity of the naturally occurring carbohydrate inositol hexaphosphate (IP(6)) has been reported against numerous cancer models. Since tumors require angiogenesis for growth and metastasis, we hypothesize that IP(6) reduces tumor growth by inhibiting angiogenesis. Because angiogenesis depends on the interaction between endothelial and tumor cells, we investigated the e...
متن کاملPro-Apoptotic Effect of Rice Bran Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) on HT-29 Colorectal Cancer Cells
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), or phytic acid is a natural dietary ingredient and has been described as a "natural cancer fighter", being an essential component of nutritional diets. The marked anti-cancer effect of IP6 has resulted in our quest for an understanding of its mechanism of action. In particular, our data provided strong evidence for the induction of apoptotic cell death, which may b...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms for the antitumor activity of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6).
BACKGROUND Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), a naturally occurring polyphosphorylated carbohydrate, has been reported to have significant in vivo and in vitro anticancer activity against numerous tumors. However, the molecular mechanism of the anticancer effect of IP6 has not been fully elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using K-562 human leukemia cells we analysed the induction of the erythroi...
متن کاملThe interaction of inositol hexaphosphate with methaemoglobin.
1. Inositol hexaphosphate causes the shape of the oxidation-reduction equilibrium curve to become hyberbolic at acid pH values. 2. Inositol hexaphosphate also causes a decrease in the alkaline oxidation Bohr effect at these same pH values. 3. These results support the idea that inositol hexaphosphate causes methaemoglobin to take up the deoxyhaemoglobin quaternary structure at pH6.5.
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic activity of auraptene
The objective of this research was to test the in vitro anti-angiogenic activity of auraptene, a coumarin from citrus peel oil. We tested the ability of auraptene to inhibit in vitro angiogenesis using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) growth stimulation. Auraptene was applied at concentrations between 0 μM and 1μM to HUVEC in the presen...
