Galium verum aqueous extract strongly inhibits the motility of head and neck cancer cell lines and protects mucosal keratinocytes against toxic DNA damage.
Galium verum, also known as Lady's Bedstraw, is an herbaceous plant native to Europe and Asia, and has been used in traditional medicine as an anticancer medicine applied in most cases as a decoction. The influence of a Galium verum decoction on the head and neck cancer cell lines HLaC78 and FADU was analyzed and proved to be toxic in high doses on both cell lines. Cytotoxicity appeared to be i...
متن کاملIsorhamnetin Protects Human Keratinocytes against Ultraviolet B-Induced Cell Damage
Isorhamnetin (3-methylquercetin) is a flavonoid derived from the fruits of certain medicinal plants. This study investigated the photoprotective properties of isorhamnetin against cell damage and apoptosis resulting from excessive ultraviolet (UV) B exposure in human HaCaT keratinocytes. Isorhamnetin eliminated UVB-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuated the oxidative...
متن کاملGnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata inhibits DNA synthesis in human cancer cell lines
The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...
متن کاملAntioxidant Properties of Galium Verum
The genus Galium (Rubiaceae), comprised of approximately 1300 species and used for the treatment of a variety of pathological conditions in folk medicine of many cultures. In this study, antioxidant activities of aerial parts of G. verum were investigated employing various in vitro assay systems, i.e. DPPH and nitric oxide radical scavenging, reducing power and H2O2 scavenging. IC50 for DPPH ra...
