Natural products as angiogenesis inhibitors.
Angiogenesis is a strictly controlled process in the healthy, adult human body. It is regulated by a variety of endogenous angiogenic and angiostatic factors. It is only switched on, e.g., during wound healing. Pathological angiogenesis occurs, for example, in cancer, chronic inflammation, or atherosclerosis. Angiogenesis inhibitors are able to interfere with various steps of angiogenesis, like...
متن کاملNatural Inhibitors of the Aromatase Enzyme*
The results of three years of search for natural aromatase inhibitors will be presented. Estrogen biosynthesis is catalyzed by the aromatase enzyme complex. This complex if made up of a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes known as cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom, produced by the CYP19 gene). Associated with this enzyme one finds the flavoprotein NADPH cytochrome P450 reduct...
متن کاملMarine Natural Products as Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Inhibitors
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is a protein belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily that has clinical relevance due to its multi-drug resistance properties in cancer. BCRP can be associated with clinical cancer drug resistance, in particular acute myelogenous or acute lymphocytic leukemias. The overexpression of BCRP contributes to the resistance of several ...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitors as potential cancer chemopreventives.
Epidemiological and experimental evidence strongly supports a role for estrogens in the development and growth of breast tumors. A role for estrogen in prostate neoplasia has also been postulated. Therefore, one chemopreventive strategy for breast and prostate cancers is to decrease estrogen production. This can be accomplished by inhibiting aromatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final, rate-...
متن کاملPotential utility of natural products as regulators of breast cancer-associated aromatase promoters
Aromatase, the key enzyme in estrogen biosynthesis, converts androstenedione to estrone and testosterone to estradiol. The enzyme is expressed in various tissues such as ovary, placenta, bone, brain, skin, and adipose tissue. Aromatase enzyme is encoded by a single gene CYP 19A1 and its expression is controlled by tissue-specific promoters. Aromatase mRNA is primarily transcribed from promoter ...
