Bioactive Phytochemicals with Anti-Aging and Lifespan Extending Potentials in Caenorhabditis elegans

Nkwachukwu Oziamara Okoro et al.

Summary: Plants and their products, whether in the form of herbs or functional foods, are rich in bioactive phytochemicals that have medicinal, culinary, and nutraceutical applications. These bioactive compounds have been found to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and antimicrobial properties, among others, which can improve health quality in humans and animals. Efforts to discover and study these bioactive compounds have been intensified using the Caenorhabditis elegans aging model, revealing common aging and longevity pathways shared between C. elegans and humans.

Methanolic Extract from Sea Cucumber, Holothuria scabra, Induces Apoptosis and Suppresses Metastasis of PC3 Prostate Cancer Cells Modulated by MAPK Signaling Pathway

Kanta Pranweerapaiboon et al.

Summary: Sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, is a well-known traditional Asian medicine with potential anti-tumor effects. This study investigated the effects of methanolic extract from the body wall of H. scabra on human prostate cancer cells, showing that it significantly reduced cell viability and triggered apoptosis by accumulating ROS and upregulating JNK and p38 signaling pathways. Additionally, BWMT inhibited the invasion of prostate cancer cells by downregulating MMP-2/-9 expression via the ERK pathway, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent against prostate cancer progression.

Beneficial Effects of Cyclic Ether 2-Butoxytetrahydrofuran from Sea Cucumber Holothuria scabra against Aβ Aggregate Toxicity in Transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans and Potential Chemical Interaction

Taweesak Tangrodchanapong et al.

Summary: 2-butoxytetrahydrofuran (2-BTHF) isolated from Holothuria scabra has shown therapeutic potential against Alzheimer's disease by attenuating amyloid-beta aggregation in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model through the regulation of the HSF-1 controlled autophagic pathway. This compound has been identified as a potential drug for AD due to its ability to protect against A beta toxicity.
