Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to essential oils, and methods of their use in treating skin conditions. The skin conditions include those involving HRASQ61L mutant keratinocyte activity, wherein the essential oil inhibits said activity to treat and/or prevent skin cancer. Particularly, the present invention denotes to and composition for inhibiting and prevent skin carcinogenesis or BRAF inhibitor, a type of anti-cancer drug induced cutaneous side effect.
Abstract:
A new class of sesquiterpene derivative useful for treating cancerous and inflammatory diseases are disclosed. These deoxyelephantopin derivatives are effective in suppressing proliferation, migration, mobility, invasion, growth, and/or metastasis of cancer cells in a patient, or useful for enhancing an anti-proliferative effect of another anti-cancer drug on cancer cells when treating a patient, or for sensitizing and/or enhancing an anti-cancer effect of a gluthathione synthesis blocker on inhibition of triple negative breast cancer cell activity, or for treatment and/or prophylaxis of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory response in a patient, or for all of the above. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the deoxyelephantopin derivatives.
Abstract:
Methods for preventing and/or reducing side effects of an anti-cancer agent in a subject in need thereof are disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject, who is under an anti-cancer agent treatment, a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of isolated deoxyelephantopin and/or an analogue thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
