Epigallocatechin 3-gallate: From green tea to cancer therapeutics

Manzar Alam et al.

Summary: Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), a polyphenolic component derived from green tea extract, possesses various biological functions, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. It modulates multiple signaling pathways to inhibit tumor growth and induce cell death. EGCG also exhibits antioxidant, anti-angiogenic, and apoptotic effects. Therefore, EGCG shows potential in cancer treatment.

Insights into the Mechanisms of Action of Proanthocyanidins and Anthocyanins in the Treatment of Nicotine-Induced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Naser A. Alsharairi

Summary: Different parts of plants, including fruits, have been used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Plant-based foods, such as fruits, seeds, and vegetables, contain flavonoid compounds that have therapeutic potential against certain chronic diseases. However, the mechanisms by which these compounds act against nicotine-induced lung cancer are not fully understood.

A narrative review: The pharmaceutical evolution of phenolic syringaldehyde

Jingyi Wu et al.

Summary: This review article compiles published literature on the pharmacological properties of syringaldehyde (SA), a key compound in whisky and brandy. Using molecular docking and in vitro and in vivo assays, the study validates the medicinal properties of SA, including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-diabetes effects. The results show that SA has significant binding affinity with various proteins involved in inflammation and diabetes. The study suggests that in silico screening combined with preclinical tests could lead to new indications for drug discovery and development.

Structure-activity relationships among mono- and dihydroxy flavones as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists or antagonists in CACO2 cells

Hyejin Park et al.

Summary: Unsubstituted flavone can induce gene expression in Caco2 cells and acts as an AhR agonist. The addition of hydroxyl groups can determine the activity of flavones, but the affinity of mono- and dihydroxyflavones to AhR is similar and cannot accurately predict their activity. Most AhR-inactive flavones also function as AhR antagonists.
