Furthermore, chemotherapy associated with severe adverse effects, one of the major complications effective In addition, newly published research outputs show that stem cells are involved disease progression, drug resistance, metastasis, recurrence they functional trans-differentiation capacity to response treatments. Novel strategies therefore required for better management The prime would be synthesize develop novel drugs need extensive resources, time, endurance brought into therapeutic use. subsequent screen anti-cancer activity available non-cancerous drugs. This concept repurposing non-cancer as alternative current therapy has become popular recent years because using existing anticancer several effects.

High-grade adult-type diffuse gliomas are the most common and deadliest malignant adult tumors of central nervous system. Despite advancements in multimodality treatment high-grade gliomas, five-year survival rates still remain poor. The biggest challenge treating is intra-tumor heterogeneity feature glioma tumors. Introducing dietary flavonoids to current strategies crucial overcome this challenge, as can target several molecular targets. This review discusses anticancer mechanism (quercetin, rutin, chrysin, apigenin, naringenin, silibinin, EGCG, genistein, biochanin A C3G) through targeting molecules associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, cycle arrest, migration, invasion, autophagy DNA repair. In addition, targeted by such Bax, Bcl-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, caspase-8, caspase-3, p53, p38, Erk, JNK, beclin-1 LC3B were also discussed. Moreover, clinical relevance flavonoid targets discussed comparison small inhibitors: ralimetinib, AMG232, marimastat, hydroxychloroquine chloroquine. positive pre-clinical results, further investigations studies warranted substantiate efficacy safety use on patients.

The most common malignant gynecologic diseases are cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Among them, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other of the female reproductive system. A great number women suffer from endometriosis, uterine fibroids (UFs), adenomyosis, dysmenorrhea, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which widespread benign health problems causing troublesome painful symptoms significantly impairing quality life affected women, they some main infertility. In addition to available surgical pharmacological options, effects supporting standard treatment with naturally occurring compounds, mainly polyphenols, being studied. Catechins responsible for majority potential benefits attributed green tea consumption. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is considered a non-toxic, natural compound anticancer properties. Antioxidant action its function, but attention also drawn participation in cell division inhibition, apoptosis stimulation epigenetic regulation. this narrative review, we describe role EGCG consumption preventing development disorders such as UF, PCOS, well conditions.

Tea is a significant source of flavonoids in the diet. Due to different production processes, amount bioactive compounds unfermented (green) and (semi-)fermented tea differs. Importantly, green has similar composition phenolic fresh, unprocessed leaves. It consists primarily monomeric flavan-3-ols, known as catechins, which epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) most abundant. Thanks its antioxidant, antiproliferative, antiangiogenic properties, EGCG attracted scientific community's attention potential use preventing and/or combating cancer. In this review article, we summarize literature reports found Google Scholar PubMed databases on anticancer effect selected malignant neoplasms women, i.e., breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian cancers, have been published over last two decades. needs be emphasized that concentrations reported effective against cancer cells are typically higher than those plasma after polyphenol administration. Moreover, low bioavailability absorption appear main reasons for differences effects between vitro vivo studies. context, also decided look at possible solutions these problems, consisting combining with other components or using nanotechnology. Despite promising results studies conducted so far, mainly animal models, there no doubt further, broad-based activities necessary unequivocally assess oncological treatment combat women.

Existing research emphasizes significance embryo implantation, specifically endometrium, highlighting its necessity ensuring proper fetal development. Although some knowledge has been gained, there is still lack on specific molecular impacts quality oocytes, growth follicles, general health. Autophagy role maturation, quality, development oocytes. It also involved aging, contributing to reductions that occur with age. This review explores physiological functions system, participation toxicity, important connections endometrium embryo. addition, study investigates possibility emerging treatment approaches aim modify autophagy, using both natural substances synthetic molecules, improve fertility outcomes. Additionally, intends inspire future exploration into intricate health by reviewing recent studies pinpointing areas where current lacking.

Abstract The plant Polygonum capitatum ( P. ) contains a variety of flavonoids that are distributed differently among different parts. Nevertheless, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with this heterogeneous distribution have not been identified. In study, combined transcriptomic and metabonomic analysis, we identified significant DEGs related to variations in flavonoid composition parts . Subsequently, nontargeted metabolomic analyses revealed phenolic acids were significantly enriched the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, shikimic acid biosynthesis pathways. expression levels encoding enzymes, including shikimate O ‐hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HCT), chalcone synthase (CHS), 3′,5′‐hydroxylase (CYP75A), flavones 3‐hydroxylase (F3H), flavonol (FLS), leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR), trans‐cinnamate 4‐monooxygenase (CYP73A), kinase (SK), found be lowest leaves via quantitative PCR.
