VEGFR-Mediated Cytotoxic Activity of Pulicaria undulata Isolated Metabolites: A Biological Evaluation and In Silico Study

Sameh S. Elhady et al.

Summary: Natural products are important sources for drug discovery, and a phytochemical study on Pulicaria undulata revealed promising antiangiogenic agents for safe innovative antitumor drugs. The extract and isolated compounds exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against breast cancer cells and in vivo antiproliferative activity against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma, suggesting antiangiogenic effects through the inhibition of VEGF signaling. Molecular modeling studies suggested that the investigated compounds could be inhibitors of VEGF-stimulated angiogenesis, potentially explaining their anticancer activity.

The Antioxidant Carrichtera annua DC. Ethanolic Extract Counteracts Cisplatin Triggered Hepatic and Renal Toxicities

Enas E. Eltamany et al.

Summary: Carrichtera annua extract has shown potential in protecting against cisplatin-induced hepato-nephrotoxicity, improving liver and kidney functions, and attenuating oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial injury. Additionally, the extract exhibits growth inhibition of MCF-7 cells and good binding affinities towards caspase-3 and IFN-gamma proteins, with quercetin showing the most promising inhibition activities.
