Deguelin inhibits human hepatocellular carcinoma by antiangiogenesis and apoptosis
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.

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
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 ...

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
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 ...
