The most prevalent cancer among women is breast cancer. Use of plant-derived products in cancer treatment may reduce adverse side effects. Extensive research around the world has led to the discovery of herbal compounds that can be used to treat some types of cancer. According to previous studies, the methanol extract of Eupatorium cannabinum has shown cytotoxic effects in some cancer cell lines. In the present study, bioassay guided fractionation and isolation was conducted on E. cannabinum to evaluate the cytotoxic activityin MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Methods: The Extraction from theaerial parts was performed by maceration method. Isolation and purification of the extracts were performed by column chromatography. The cytotoxic activity of different extracts of E. cannabinum was evaluated against MCF-7 cell line by MTT assay and a compound was isolated according to bioassay guided fractionation. The cytotoxic activity and apoptotic property of the isolated compound was determined. Results: The chloroform extract was the most active one with IC50 of 21.39±3.24 μg/mL followed by the n-hexane and methanol extracts with IC50values of 60.23±2.16 μg/mL and 81.74±3.41 μg/mL, respectively.

In Iranian traditional medicine, the oleo-gum-resin of the genus Pistacia is recommended for treatment of various diseases including gastrointestinal disorders. The present study investigated the therapeutic action of a combination of Pistacia atlantica subspecies kurdica oleo-gum-resin and honey in acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. Methods:  Pistacia atlantica oleo-gum-resin was mixed with honey. The mixture was suspended in distilled water. Following induction of colitis with 4% acetic acid in all animals, except in sham group,themixture was orally administered for two consecutive days at the concentrations of 100, 200, 400 mg/kg. Other groups included the control, sham and a standard group (dexamethasone). Microscopic and histopathologic examinations were conducted in inflamed colonic tissue. The inflammatory biomarkers of colitis including interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the gene expression level of toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4) were assessed. Results: Pistacia atlantica oleo-gum-resin+ honey induced significant progress in macroscopic and microscopic scores. Colonic levels of MPO, IL-6, and TNF-α significantly declined in rats treated with the mixture; while significant decrease in mucosal gene expression of TLR-4 and significant improvement of colitis were observed. Pistacia atlantica oleo-gum-resin (400 mg/kg) + honey (400 mg/kg)reduced inflammation of the bowel and colonic ulcer severity shown by downregulation of inflammation cytokines, reduction of neutrophil infiltration, and suppression of TLR-4 expression.

Urease inhibitors play important role in management of different diseases including gastritis and other gastrointestinal disorders. In the present study, a new surface plasmon resonance-based biosensor was designed to discover new urease inhibitors. Methods: The biosensor surface was prepared by the covalent immobilization of urease on carboxymethyldextran hydrogel (CMD 500D) via its primary amine groups. Results: The biosensor combined with an orthogonal enzyme inhibition assay was utilized for screening of 40 traditional medicinal plant extracts against Jack-bean urease. Among them, Laurus nobilis leaf extract displayed a high affinity with the immobilized urease; therefore, its active compound (quercetin) was isolated and identified as a urease inhibitor. The equilibrium constant (KD) and Gibbs free energy (ΔGbinding) values for the interaction of quercetin with urease were obtained to be 55 nM and -41.62 kJ/mol, respectively. The results of molecular docking analysis also confirmed our findings.

Methods: Sequential ultrasonic-assisted extraction was carried out using ethanol (ETOH) and water, by applying 1:10 ratio of leaves powder to the solvent volume. U937 cells were incubated with 25 nM PMA for 72 h to induce macrophage differentiation. The macrophage differentiation was assessed based on the cell morphological changes, cell viability and, CD14 and CD11b expression by using flow cytometry.

The viability of the extract-treated cells was assessed using PrestoBlue cell viability assay and the IL-4 and IL-13 secretions were assessed by using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: PMA stimulation caused morphological changes of U937 cells from round-shaped, non-adherent to larger irregular-shaped, adherent cells, and a reduction of cells viability to 87%. CD14 expression was down-regulated from 7% to 4.5% upon PMA stimulation. CD11b expression was up-regulated from 16% in untreated cells to 38% in PMA-treated cells.
