Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of brucine and brucine N-oxide extracted from seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica.

TL;DR: The results suggest that central and peripheral mechanism are involved in the pain modulation and anti-inflammation effects of brucine and Brucine N-oxide, biochemical mechanisms of bru cine and brucines N -oxide are different even though they are similar in chemical structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The anti-tumor effects of alkaloids from the seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica on HepG2 cells and its possible mechanism

TL;DR: It is indicated that the major alkaloids present in the seed of Strychnos nux-vomica are effective against HepG2 cells proliferation, among which brucine proceed HepG 2 cells death via apoptosis, probably through the participation of caspase-3 and cyclooxygenase-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cytotoxicity induced by brucine from the seed of Strychnos nux-vomica proceeds via apoptosis and is mediated by cyclooxygenase 2 and caspase 3 in SMMC 7221 cells.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the major alkaloids present in the seed of Strychnos nux-vomica are effective against SMMC-7721 cells proliferation, among which brucine proceeds SMMC 7721 cells death via apoptosis, probably through the participation of caspase 3 and cyclooxygenase 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyethylenimine-complexed Plasmid Particles Targeting Focal Adhesion Kinase Function as Melanoma Tumor Therapeutics

TL;DR: Results indicate that intratumoral delivery of plasmid DNA targeting FAK function, using M-PEI as a gene carrier, represents a promising avenue for melanoma therapy.
