Substances That Target Tumor Metabolism
Biomedical Research 2011; 22 (2): 132-166 1181_On the metabolic origin of cancer: substances that target tumor metabolism.

Work from our group and others clearly suggest the key role of altered metabolism in cancer. The goal of this review is to summarize current knowledge on cancer metabolism, draw hy- pothesis explaining metabolic alterations and associated gene changes. Most importantly, we indicate a list of possible pharmacological targets. In short, tumor metabolism displays mixed glycolysis and neoglucogenesis features; most glycolitic enzymes are activate, but the pyruvate kinase and the pyruvate deshydrogenase are inhibited. This would result from an activation of their specific kinases, or from the inactivation of phosphatases, such as PP2A, regulated by me- thylation. In parallel, the phosphatase failure would enhance “tyrosine kinase receptor” signals, as occurs with oncogenes. Such signaling pathways are similar to those activated by insuline, or IGF- Growth hormone; they control mitosis, cell survival, carbohydrate metabolism. If for some reason, their regulation fails (oncogenes, PP2A methylation deficit, enhanced kinases…) a typical tumor metabolism starts the carcinogenic process. We also describe changes in the citric acid- urea cycles, polyamines, and show how body stores feed tumor metabolic pathways above and below “bottlenecks” resulting from wrongly switched enzymes. Studying the available lit- erature, we list a number of medications that target enzymes that are essential for tumor cells. -

Flavonoid Application in Treatment of Oral Cancer-A Review
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 01, 2020 FLAVONOID APPLICATION IN TREATMENT OF ORAL CANCER-A REVIEW Sudarsan R1, Lakshmi T2, Anjaneyulu K3 1Undergraduate student, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai - 77 2Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai - 77 3 Reader, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai - 77 ABSTRACT A wide range of organic compounds that are naturally occurring called flavonoids are primarily found in a large variety of plants. Some of the sources include tea, wine, fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables. There are a number of studies that have proven that a strong association exists between intake of dietary flavonoid and its effects on mortality in the long run. Flavonoids at non-toxic concentrations are known to demonstrate a wide range of therapeutic biological activities in organisms. The contribution of flavonoids in prevention of cancer is an area of great interest in current research. A variety of studies, including in vitro experiments and human trials and even epidemiological investigations, provide compelling evidence which imply that flavonoids’ effects on cancer in terms of chemoprevention and chemotherapy is significant. As the current treatment methods possess a number of drawbacks, the anticancer potential demonstrated by flavonoids makes them a reliable alternative. Various studies have focussed on flavonoids’ anti-cancer potential and its possible application in the treatment of cancer as a chemopreventive agent. -

Within living plant tissue they occur as free compounds or glycosides in vacuoles or are esterified to cell wall components (Harborne 1980). Major classes of phenolic compounds in higher plants are summarized in Table 1. ‘Phenolics’ are chemically defined as substances that possess an aromatic ring bearing a hydroxyl substituent, including functional derivatives -

Academic Editor: Maria Emília de Sousa Received: 11 April 2017; Accepted: 15 May 2017; Published: 25 May 2017 Abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is regarded as one of the bottlenecks of successful clinical treatment for numerous chemotherapeutic agents. Multiple key regulators are alleged to be responsible for MDR and making the treatment regimens ineffective. In this review, we discuss MDR in relation to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and its down-regulation by natural bioactive molecules. P-gp, a unique ATP-dependent membrane transport protein, is one of those key regulators which are present in the lining of the colon, endothelial cells of the blood brain barrier (BBB), bile duct, adrenal gland, kidney tubules, small intestine, pancreatic ducts and in many other tissues like heart, lungs, spleen, skeletal muscles, etc. -
Identification of Apigenin and Luteolin in Artemisia Annua L. for the Quality
Phadungrakwittaya et al. Identification of Apigenin and Luteolin inArtemisia annua L. for the Quality Control Rattana Phadungrakwittaya*, Sirikul Chotewuttakorn*, Manoon Piwtong**, Onusa Thamsermsang**, Tawee Laohapand**, Pravit Akarasereenont*,** *Department of Pharmacology, **Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10700, Thailand. ABSTRACT Objective: To identify active compounds and establish the chemical fingerprint ofArtemisia annua L. for the quality control. Methods: Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) conditions were developed to screen for 2 common flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin). Three mobile phases were used to isolate these flavonoids in 80% ethanolic extract of A. annua. Hexane : ethyl acetate : acetic acid (31:14:5, v/v) and toluene : 1,4-dioxane : acetic acid (90:25:4, v/v) were used in normal phase TLC (NP-TLC), and 5.5% formic acid in water : methanol (50:50, v/v) were used in reverse phase TLC (RP-TLC). Chromatograms were visualized under visible light after spraying with Fast Blue B Salt. Apigenin and luteolin bands were checked by comparing their Rf values and UV-Vis absorption spectra with reference markers. Results: Apigenin and luteolin were simultaneously detected with good specificity in RP-TLC condition, while only apigenin was detected in NP-TLC condition. Apigenin band intensity was higher than luteolin band intensity in both conditions. Conclusion: This knowledge can be applied to the development of quality control assessments to ensure product efficacy and consistency.
