A Review of Phytochemical and Pharmacological Properties of Alpinia malaccensis (Burm. F.) Roscoe. (Zingiberaceae)
CONCLUSION: A detailed study of the available resources for A. malaccensis confirmed its native and distribution, traditional values, chemical properties, and medicinal values. Its essential oils and extracts are the reservoir of a wide range of important chemical constituents. Traditionally, it is being used to treat nausea, vomiting and wounds along with as a seasoning agent in meat processing and as perfume. Apart from traditional values, it has been reported for several pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory etc. We believe that this review will help to provide the collective i...

The Role of Phytochemicals in Cancer Prevention: A Review with Emphasis on Baicalein, Fisetin, and Biochanin A
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 May 16. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230516161827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer is a disease in which repeated rounds of mutations cause uncontrolled growth of cells, which prospers at the expense of their neighbor cells and then eventually leads to the destruction of the whole cellular community. Chemopreventive drugs either prevent DNA damage, which results in malignancy, or they stop or reverse the division of premalignant cells with DNA damage, which inhibits the growth of cancer. There is an obvious need for an alternate strategy given the ongoing rise in cancer incidence, the ineffectiven...

Advances in Medicinal Chemistry of Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERR α) inverse agonists
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 May 15. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230515145822. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEstrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is strongly expressed in breast cancer cells. Its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). ERRα expression could be inhibited by the downregulation of upstream oncogenic growth factors mTOR, HER2, and PI3K. Low expression of ERRα could suppress the migration and angiogenesis of tumor cells by inhibiting the activity of its downstream signals VEGF and WNT11. Studies have confirmed that ER...

Insight into Tumor Hypoxia: Radionuclide-based Biomarker as Diagnostic Tools
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 May 15. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230515154442. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe radiolabeled tracers have been extensively utilized to access various physiological and pathological conditions non-invasively, such as cancers, inflammation, and organ-specific imaging. These tracers demonstrate and study tumor hypoxia in several malignancies. Hypoxia is commonly seen in solid tumors.Tumor Hypoxia is a non-physiological condition of reduced oxygen concentration in the tumor. Hypoxia is associated with adverse outcomes such as treatment resistance and metastases in solid tumors. Tumor hypoxia may resul...

Various effects of the GABAergic system on cancer: the conditions and specificities of its use in the treatment of some cancers
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 May 15. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230515163713. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGABA is an essential neurotransmitter in tissues other than the brain and has different functions. Cancer displays dysfunctional GABAergic system roles, comprising GAD, GABA, and GABA receptors. Both tumor-suppressing and carcinogenic characteristics of the GABAergic system have been reported in several malignancies. In the development of cancer cells, it plays oncogenesis-related roles. However, in some tumors, such as pancreatic cancer, it exhibits anti-cancer benefits in numerous human trials and animal models. As a res...

Antiproliferative Activity and Mechanisms of Action of Plant-Derived Flavonoids on Breast Cancer
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 May 12. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230512123500. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancer is one of the main global diseases with a high mortality rate that mainly affects the female population. Despite the important advances that have been made concerning the treatments for this disease, research on less invasive therapies that generate fewer side effects for patients continues to develop. Consequently, researchers have turned their attention to using natural compounds (such as flavonoids) involved in molecular processes implicated in this type of cancer and are studying how these processes can b...
