Anti-tumoral activity of human salivary peptides.
Chemotherapy continues to be the standard treatment for advanced or metastasized cancer. However, commonly used chemotherapeutic agents may induce damage in healthy cells and tissues. Thus, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on the development of new, efficient anticancer drugs exhibiting low toxicity and that are not affected by mechanisms of chemoresistance. In the present wor...
متن کاملAnti-tumoral activity of native compound morelloflavone in glioma
The aim of the study was to investigate the anti-tumoral activity of morelloflavone substances with different structures. We also studied the possible link between morelloflavone structure and its function. Various types of chromatographic techniques were used to isolate and screen morelloflavone substances from the extracts of gambogic tree trunk and the morelloflavone structures were identifi...
متن کاملAnti-Cancer Activity of Maize Bioactive Peptides
Cancer is one of the main chronic degenerative diseases worldwide. In recent years, consumption of whole-grain cereals and their derivative food products has been associated with a reduced risk of various types of cancer. The main biomolecules in cereals include proteins, peptides, and amino acids, all of which are present in different quantities within the grain. Some of these peptides possess...
متن کاملHuman salivary MUC7 mucin peptides: effect of size, charge and cysteine residues on antifungal activity.
We have previously shown that MUC7 (human salivary low-molecular-mass mucin) 20-mer: LAHQKPFIRKSYKCLHKRCR (residues 32-51 of the parent MUC7, with a net positive charge of 7) possesses a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity [Bobek and Situ (2003) Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 47, 645-652]. The aims of the present study were to determine the minimum peptide chain length and its location within ...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity and Anti-tumoral Effect of Parasites: A Review Study
In endemic areas, some parasitic infections may be related to cancer induction or induction of immune responses against cancer. In some cases, parasites cause disease in their host, and in other cases, they reach a biological balance with them. Parasite invasion of the host depends on some factors such as parasite species, life cycle, enzyme production, and host immunity. The results of various...
