Curcumin Compounds can be Used to Develop New Anticancer Drugs

Image
Recently, a team of researchers has successfully developed curcumin compounds with anticancer activity. The research results have been published in the electronic edition of Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin. A new anticancer drug is expected to be developed. Jiang Huanghan's curcumin has the effects of anti acidification, anti-inflammatory and anticancer. However, curcumin is difficult to be absorbed by the intestine and magnolol is mostly excreted. In this regard, one team developed a micro powder particle type of theracurmin, which increased the absorption rate by 27 times, and the improvement of liver function was also confirmed. However, when taken orally, the concentration of effective components with anti-cancer effect has not been fully improved in the blood. Based on the above research, the team developed a new curcumin product and injected it to the colon cancer test mice. The results showed that the concentration of effective components in the blood increa

The combination of blueberry extract and radiation therapy has a significant effect on female cervical cancer. Blueberry is a common fruit in life, and its nutritional value is very rich. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 12 thousand women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year in the United States. As we all know, radiation therapy using high-energy X rays and gamma rays, is currently a common method of treatment of cervical cancer. Recently, a US study showed that the combination of blueberry extract and radiotherapy has a significant effect on the treatment of female cervical cancer. Researchers at the University of Missouri medical school in the United States in vitro research on human cancer cells show that the combination of blueberry extract and radiation can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of cervical cancer. According to the relevant information, blueberry pulp contains resveratrol, but also has antioxidant, anti-i

Antibacterial Ingredients Extracted from Persian Onion

Antibacterial ingredients extracted from Persian onion can increase the efficacy of existing antimicrobial agents. Recently, a new study shows that a green onion can help fight antibiotic resistance in some TB cases. Researchers believe that the antibacterial components extracted from Persian onion can increase the efficacy of the existing antimicrobial agents. The research team tested four different molecules of the Persian onion. The researchers found that the bacteria in the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis were significantly reduced and significantly decreased, and the most promising candidates could inhibit the growth of the isolated tuberculosis cells by more than 99.9%. The compounds extracted from the Persian onion are two sulfides, one of which has an antimicrobial activity and can inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the concentration of 17 M (4 mg L 1), and other analogues (the concentration range 32~138 M [8~ 32 mg L 1) can inhibit the Escherichia c
