Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and resupply of pharmacologically active plant-derived natural products: A review.

TL;DR: While the intrinsic complexity of natural product-based drug discovery necessitates highly integrated interdisciplinary approaches, the reviewed scientific developments, recent technological advances, and research trends clearly indicate that natural products will be among the most important sources of new drugs in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear Factor κB Is a Molecular Target for Sulforaphane-mediated Anti-inflammatory Mechanisms

TL;DR: A potent decrease in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory and pro-carcinogenic signaling factors in cultured Raw 264.7 macrophages after SFN treatment is reported, providing novel evidence that anti-inflammatory mechanisms contribute to sulforaphane-mediated cancer chemoprevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural product agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ): a review.

TL;DR: A significant research effort has recently been undertaken to explore the PPARγ-activating potential of a wide range of natural products originating from traditionally used medicinal plants or dietary sources.
Journal Article

Cancer chemopreventive activity of Xanthohumol, a natural product derived from hop.

TL;DR: Together, the data provide evidence for the potential application of XN as a novel, readily available chemopreventive agent, and clinical investigations are warranted once efficacy and safety in animal models have been established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism-based in vitro screening of potential cancer chemopreventive agents

TL;DR: A battery of cell- and enzyme-based in vitro marker systems relevant for prevention of carcinogenesis in vivo are set up, and the usefulness of the approach could be demonstrated by identification of hitherto unknown mechanisms of selected agents.
