Breast cancer is a major global health problem that imposes significant social and economic burden on individuals societies. Chemotherapy, common treatment approach, often leads to resistance unwanted side effects, especially in the advanced stages of disease. This has led search for more effective less toxic anticancer agents. Lichens, which are associations fungi algae, gaining attention their potential therapy. Lichens rich sources secondary metabolites with diverse biological including anti-tumor properties. In this study, we summarise combined effects vulpinic acid (VA), lichen acid, doxorubicin, chemotherapeutic drug, breast MCF-7 cells. The results XTT assay subsequent Compsyn analysis showed VA doxorubicin (Dox), alone exhibited potent anti-proliferative dose- time-dependent manner, interestingly, when used combination, they produced an antagonistic effect same line. These provide first example study show what combination Dox will have other cell lines.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths all over world. Therefore, it has gained importance in development new chemotherapeutic strategies to identify anticancer agents with low side effects, reliable, high potential, and specific lung cells. Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) an important therapeutic target for treatment because its overexpression tumor Here, we aimed examine effect diffractaic acid, a lichen secondary metabolite, A549 cells by comparing commercial drug carboplatin also investigate whether acid occurs via TrxR1-targeting. The IC50 value on was determined as 46.37 μg/mL at 48 h, had stronger cytotoxicity than qPCR results revealed that promoted intrinsic apoptotic pathway through upregulation BAX/BCL2 ratio P53 gene cells, which consistent flow cytometry results. Furthermore, migration analysis indicated impressively suppressed While enzymatic activity TrxR1 inhibited no changes were seen quantitative expression levels protein. These findings provide fundamental data targeting activity, suggesting could be considered agent therapy.

Lichens are a unique group of organisms, which can produce compounds that named secondary metabolites and rarely or not produced in other organisms. possess pharmacological actions related to their metabolites. Our knowledge lichens rapidly increases as new technologies devices, facilitate the investigation chemical profile biological activities lichens, introduced become more readily available. In addition, methods perspectives, well suggestions for mechanisms, accumulate daily. Furthermore, lichen substances stand relatively untapped source natural products. Accordingly, researchers investigate lichen-derived material frequently than it was past. This review focused on published last 11 years (2012-2022). Literature data obtained from WebOfScience PubMed databases using search keywords revealed anti-genotoxicity, anticancer, anti-microbial activity studies have constantly been conducted. More recently, immunomodulatory inflammation-related took stage. Enzyme inhibition were popular well. selection based novelty mechanistic insight papers presented.

Background According to previous literatures, plasma thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) level was significantly elevated in various malignant tumors and serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis prognostic prediction. However, there is little awareness of the clinical value TrxR gynecologic malignancies. In present study, we aim evaluate diagnostic accuracy cancer explore its role treatment surveillance. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 134 patients with 79 benign disease. The difference activity tumor markers between two groups compared using Mann-Whitney U test. By detecting pretreatment post-treatment conventional markers, further assessed change trend them Wilcoxon signed-ranks Results Compared control [5.7 (5, 6.6) U/mL], statistically significant increase observed group [8.4 (7.25, 9.825) U/mL] ( P < .0001), regardless age stage. On basis receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, found shows highest efficacy distinguishing malignancy disease, an area under curve (AUC) 0.823 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.767-0.878), whole cohort. Besides, receiving previously [8 (6.5, 9) had decreased relative treatment-native [9.9 (8.6, 10.85) U/mL]. Furthermore, follow-up data showed that would be evidently after courses antitumor therapy which consistent downward markers. Conclusion Collectively, all these results demonstrated effective parameter concurrently acts promising response assessment.
