Antitumor Activity and Immunomodulatory Effects of Ficus carica Latex
Introduction: There are limited studies on the anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects of the fig fruit latex. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of fig fruit latex on several cancer cell lines as well as its effect on lymphocytes proliferation and cytokines secretion. Methods: After preparing a methanolic extract from fig latex, its effect on various cancer cell lines includin...
متن کاملFicus Enzymes. Ii. Properties of the Proteolytic Enzymes from the Latex of Ficus Carica Variety Kadota.
Latex-Ficus carica var. Kadota latex was collected from the green fruit of trees grown in the orchard of Mr. V. Ed Scott of Planada, California, as described (1). Subsequent storage and centrifugation have also been described (1). Reagents-Carnation instant nonfat dry milk was used for milk-clotting activity determinations. Barbital was obtained from Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, St. Louis, Miss...
متن کاملFicus Enzymes. I. Separation of the Proteolytic Enzymes of Ficus Carica and Ficus Glabrata Latices.
Ficin is the name given to the proteolytic enzyme activity of the latex of trees of the genus Ficus (1). While this proteolytic activity has been utilized for centuries and Walti (2) crystallized a proteolytic enzyme from fig latex, little is known of the physical, chemical, and enzymatic properties of this activity. The information available on ficin indicates that it closely resembles papain ...
متن کاملCytotoxic Effects of Different Extracts and Latex of Ficus carica L. on HeLa cell Line
It has been reported that latex and extracts of different species of Ficus are cytotoxic to some human cancerous cell lines. In this study, cytotoxicity of fruit and leaf extracts as well as the latex of Ficus carica L. on HeLa cell line were evaluated. Ethanolic extracts of leaves and fruits were prepared through percolation and ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts were prepared by reflu...
