Glaucocalyxin A, a negative Akt regulator, specifically induces apoptosis in human brain glioblastoma U87MG cells [PDF]
Akt is becoming an attractive target in the development of anti-tumor agents. In the present study, we aimed to discover novel negative Akt regulators against malignant glioma. An Akt regulator screening platform performed in an Akt-GFP overexpression cell line was developed, and natural product library was screened and evaluated using this platform ...

Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent central nervous system (CNS) degenerative disease. Oxidative stress is one of key contributors to PD. Nuclear factor erythroid‐2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) is considered to be a master regulator of many genes involved in anti‐oxidant stress to attenuate cell death.

Astrocytes are a major constituent of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytic oxidative stress contributes to the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Maintaining production of antioxidant and detoxification of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in astrocytes is critical to prevent PD.

Plant-derived natural products as leads to antitumor drugs [PDF]
Cancer is the main cause of death worldwide. Chemotherapeutic agents used for disease treatments have shown limited antitumor activity, with a high recurrence rate. It has prompted the research efforts to identify anti-tumor compounds.
