Nimbolide inhibits 2D and 3D prostate cancer cells migration, affects microtubules and angiogenesis and suppresses B-RAF/p.ERK-mediated in vivo tumor…
2021
Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prominent malignancy among men worldwide. PCa cells have a high tendency to metastasize to various distant organs, and this activity is the main cause of PCa mortality. Nimbolide is a promising phytochemical constituent of neem Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae). Previous studies showed that nimbolide exhibited potent anticancer activity however, its role against PCa tumorigenesis has not been fully elucidated. Purpose Our work aims to explore the role of nimbolide in regulating the essential tumor-associated processes involved in the metastatic cascade in PCa cells. Study design Cytotoxicity assay, wound healing and spheroid invasion assays…
Cytotoxicity of botanicals and isolated phytochemicals from Araliopsis soyauxii Engl. (Rutaceae) towards a panel of human cancer cells.
2020
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Araliopsis soyauxii Engl. (Rutaceae) is a Cameroonian medicinal plant traditionally used to treat lung diseases, malaria, and gonorrhea. It has been demonstrated that infectious disease contribute to about 20% of all human tumours. Aims of the study (1) To perform a phytochemical investigation of the dichloromethane-methanol 1:1 extracts of the bark (ASB), roots (ASR), and leaves (ASL) from Araliopsis soyauxii; (2) to evaluate the cytotoxicity of extracts and isolated compounds; (3) to determine the mode of induction of apoptosis of ASB and kihadanin B (12). Materials and methods Fourteen constituents of the crude extracts were isolated by column chro…
Taxonomic complexity in the halophyte Limonium vulgare and related taxa (Plumbaginaceae): insights from analysis of morphological, reproductive and k…
2014
Part of a special issue on halophytes and saline adaptations Background and Aims Limonium is awell-known example of a group of plants that is taxonomically complex due to certain biological characteristics that hamper species’ delineation. The closely related polyploid species Limonium vulgare Mill., L. humile Mill. and L. narbonense Mill. are defined species and can be used for studying patterns of morphological and reproductive variation. The first two taxa are usually found in Atlantic Europe and the third in the Mediterranean region, but a numberof intermediate morphological formsmay be present alongside typical examples of these species. This study attempts to elucidate morphological, …
A new polyploid species of Limonium (Plumbaginaceae) from the Western Mediterranean basin
2015
A new species of Plumbaginaceae, Limonium irtaensis, is described and illustrated from the Western Mediterranean basin (Iberian Peninsula). The new species is triploid (2n = 26) and shows a papillate stigma and pollen with a fine reticulate exine (B type). A detailed morphological description is given, and its main diagnostic characters are compared with the related species. Conservation status has been assessed according to the IUCN protocol.
Assessing Effects of Temperature Change on Four Limonium Species from Threatened Mediterranean Salt-Affected Habitats
2018
[EN] Evaluation of tolerance to temperatures in the germination stage is an important tool to foresee the possible effect of global warming. Moreover, establishing germination protocols for endemic and threatened species is most interesting for restoration and management plans that focus on habitat conservation. Seed germination was analysed in four species of the genus Limonium (L. virgatum, L. narbonense, L. girardianum and L. santapolense) growing in two saline habitats on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The study aim was to compare responses of seed germination to different temperature regimes. Seeds were collected in two protected areas, `L¿Albufera de Valencia¿ (province o…
Osservazioni sulle strategie riproduttive dei taxa appartenenti al gruppo di Limonium articulatum (Plumbaginaceae)
2014
Limonium articulatum (Plumbaginaceae) e le specie affini costituiscono un gruppo tassonomico riconosciuto da diversi autori che si rinviene lungo le coste della Corsica, Sardegna e dell’Arcipelago Toscano. In concomitanza con indagini morfometriche, sono state condotte osservazioni sulla biologia riproduttiva di queste specie su materiale d’erbario. Nelle specie a più ampia distribuzione, L. articulatum e L. contortirameum, si sono osservate solo combinazioni autoincompatibili. Lo stesso in L. caprarie, L. corsicum, L. strictissimum e L. tarcoense. In L. coralliforme, L. dolcheri, L. florentinum, L. tibulatium e L. ursanum sono state osservate combinazioni autofertili. Non si sono verificat…
Typification of <em>Statice dichotoma</em> Cav. (Plumbaginaceae)
