Noscapine (narcotize), a non-toxic benzylisoquinoline alkaloid derived from opium poppy, is commonly used as a cough suppressant in humans and exhibited various activities against a variety of cancers with unclear mechanism of action. Unlike other alkaloids obtained from opium poppy, noscapine is not sleep-inducing, hypnotic drug, rendering it as non-addictive drug and therefore used as antimitotic & antitussive drug around the world, can be orally consumed. Ovarian Cancer is one of the common causes of gynecologic cancer affecting women around the world. The main reason for treatment failure and mortality is the drug resistance against DDP (cisplatin), which has emerged the use of Noscapine against drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP by activation of apoptosis. Herein, we will describe noscapine chemically; its medicinal utility and pharmacological history behind the noscapine family of compounds then follow its journey for treating ovarian cancer (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":19547,"journal":{"name":"Organic & Medicinal Chemistry International Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90010219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various bioactive compounds (alkaloids, terpenoids, favonoids, saponins, carbohydrate, proteins etc) were detected in water extract, while other solvents were not ideal for extraction few compounds were screened out from them. High extraction was done by water solvent and low value was in acetone solvent.

It has been used since 1940s and its popularity seems to be increasing. Due to its broad range of application and excessive usage, it has becoming a serious problem as it can cause pollution to the environment. Extensive researches have been done for 2,4-D but comparatively few for its derivatives. Therefore, in this review article, I focused on 2,4-D environmental fates, persistence and effects on living organisms. Hence, its toxicity levels, toxicity classification and ecotoxicity studies were reviewed based on available references. In this review article, also discussed the toxicity effects of 2,4-D on animals and humans.","PeriodicalId":19547,"journal":{"name":"Organic & Medicinal Chemistry International Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75614211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
