PI3K/Akt pathway: a potential therapeutic target for chronic pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chronic pain is among the most disabling and costly disorders, with prevalence ranging from 10% to 55%. However, current therapeutic strategies for chronic pain are unsatisfactory due to our poor understanding of its mechanisms.

Deguelin inhibits human hepatocellular carcinoma by antiangiogenesis and apoptosis

open access: yesOncology Reports, 2008
Deguelin is a rotenoid isolated from several plant species, which has been reported to have chemopreventive effects in skin, mammary, colon and lung cancers. The effects of deguelin on the proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic cancer cells were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis.

Preventing Cancer by Inhibiting Ornithine Decarboxylase: A Comparative Perspective on Synthetic vs. Natural Drugs

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 21, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract This perspective delves into the investigation of synthetic and naturally occurring inhibitors, their patterns of inhibition, and the effectiveness of newly utilized natural compounds as inhibitors targeting the Ornithine decarboxylase enzyme. This enzyme is known to target the MYC oncogene, thereby establishing a connection between polyamine ...

Heat shock protein 90: biological functions, diseases, and therapeutic targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2024.
Targeting the dynamic cycling of HSP90 and its interaction with co‐chaperones can promote protein maturation and client protein degradation, potentially offering effective antineoplastic strategies. Abstract Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a predominant member among Heat shock proteins (HSPs), playing a central role in cellular protection and ...

Rotenoids from Tephrosia toxicaria with larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue fever

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2012
In the search for new larvicides from plants, we have investigated the potential activity of the rotenoids deguelin (1), 12a-hydroxy-α-toxicarol (2) and tephrosin (3), isolated from the bioactive ethanol extract of roots of Tephrosia toxicaria Pers ...

Antiproliferative Activities and SwissADME Predictions of Physicochemical Properties of Carbonyl Group‐Modified Rotenone Analogues

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2024.
Rotenone derivatives were synthesized through modifications of the carbonyl group and their antiproliferative activities were evaluated against various cancer cell lines (MCF‐7, A549, and HCT116). The physicochemical properties and drug‐likeness of the derivatives were evaluated using the SwissADME webtool.

Deguelin exerts potent nematocidal activity via the mitochondrial respiratory chain

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2017
ABSTRACT As a result of limited classes of anthelmintics and an over‐reliance on chemical control, there is a great need to discover new compounds to combat drug resistance in parasitic nematodes. Here, we show that deguelin, a plant‐derived rotenoid, selectively and potently inhibits the motility and development ...
