Trematodes, also called flukes, cause various clinical infections in humans.

Nov. found in the stomach and intestine of Channa punctata (Bloch) from Aurangabad, Osmanabad, Ahmednagar district of M.S. India during Feb., 2005 - Jan., 2007. The present species is comes closer to all the known species of the genus 3 Orientocreadium in having general topography of organs but differs due to elongated, and non-spinose body, sub terminal and spherical oral sucker, Ventral sucker rounded, Pre- pharynx absent, Pharynx muscular, oval, Oesophagus short, genital pore pre-acetabular, testes unequal, post-ovarian, cirrus pouch crescent shaped, ovary oval, pre-testicular, large, behind oral sucker, receptaculum seminis absent, eggs elongated, oval and non-operculated.","PeriodicalId":219235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Biological Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121266919","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}

In this study we assessed the cytotoxic activity of concanavalins from Canavalia spp. on human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. The lectins concanavalin A (ConA), concanavalin C (ConC), concanavalin G (ConG) and concanavalin M (ConM) were\u0000isolated from seeds of C. ensiformis, C. cathartica, C. gladiata and C. rosea respectively. ConAand ConG demonstrated strong inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cell proliferation with IC values 81.66 µg/mLand 81.09 µg/mLrespectively, with no 50 significant effect in normal kidney HEK293T cells. MCF-7 cells treated with ConA and ConG showed apoptotic\u0000morphological changes and accumulation of sub-G /G proportion, suggesting stimulation of apoptotic pathway. These 0 1 results uphold the anticancer potential of concanavalins.","PeriodicalId":219235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Biological Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115498869","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}
