The antitumor derivatives, C1305 and C1748, were different in effects on CYP3A4 expression and catalytic activity in HepG2 cells
PublicationCytochromy P450 (CYP) należą do grupy enzymów biorących udział w 70-80% metabolizmu fazy I większości stosowanych klinicznie leków. Z tego powodu oddziaływanie leków z enzymami cytochromu P450 stało się istotnym elementem w projektowaniu chemoterapeutyków, szczególnie tych, które są stosowane w terapii wielolekowej. Znajomość substratów, induktorów i inhibitorów poszczególnych izoenzymów P450, nie tylko może obniżać częstość występowania...

Relationship between the betalain composition in Opuntia ficus indica and Beta vulgaris varieties and biological activity of their extracts
PublicationBetalains are a class of pigments that are much less com- monly found in nature than anthocyanins or carotenoids. They occur only in a few edible plants such as red beetroot (Beta vulgaris), prickly pears (Opuntia ficus indica), amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) and some mushrooms. This group of pig- ments can be divided into two major groups: yellow vulgax- anthins and red betanins. Despite their structural similarity to compounds from...
