Objective(s): The novel 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives were studied for analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer potential to establish their role in pain, inflammatory disorders and cancer.Materials and Methods: Two 1,5- diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives: (1E,4E)- 5-(4-fluoro phenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)- 2-methylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one (A2K2A17) and  (1E,4E)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-...

To explore the mechanism of microRNA-125a reversing resistance laryngeal cancer stem cells to cisplatin from mitochondrial autophagy. The human carcinoma cell line Hep-2 was purchased Shanghai Bioleaf Biotechnology Co., Ltd. expression messenger RNA in each group analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. migration and invasion ability evaluated Transwell assay. Cell apoptosis...

Glutamate, as an essential neurotransmitter, has been thought to have different roles in the central nervous system (CNS), including nerve regeneration, synaptogenesis, and neurogenesis. Excessive glutamate causes an up-regulation of the multiple signaling pathways, including phosphoinositide-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein, mitogen-activat...

Piperine is a dietary alkaloid with huge pharmacological importance and was first isolated from pepper extract. It has been reported anti-cancer, anti-amoebic, anti-mycobacterial, anti-mutagenic, anticonvulsant, anti-asthmatic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant activity. Therefore, the current investigation designed to unveil anticancer effects of piperine molecule against human ...

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a process that certain types of synaptic stimulation lead to a long-lasting enhancement in the strength of synaptic transmission. Studies in recent years indicate the importance of molecular pathways in the development of memory and learning. Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a member of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase family, that its ligand is b...

Liver fibrosis is an outcome of many chronic liver diseases and often results in cirrhosis, failure even hepatocarcinoma. Zhuyu zhenggan decoction as a classical traditional Chinese medicine formula used to clinical practice while its mechanism unclear. The aim this study was investigate the anti-fibrosis effect explore molecular mechanisms by combining network pharmacology animal experiment. c...
