Terpenes (Terpenoids)

12/01/2012 - "The present article provides an overview of the recent progress in the anti-cancer studies on terpenoids. "
01/12/2009 - "This study aimed to assess the antiangiogenic activities which support the therapeutic use of Tripterygium wilfordii and its terpenoids for angiogenesis disease such as cancer. "
01/01/2009 - "This study provides further insight into the potential use of mixtures of terpenoids as they occur in nature, as inducers of apoptosis in cancer cells."
01/15/2015 - "In recent years, terpenes have become of clinical relevance due to their ability to suppress cancer development. "
12/01/2012 - "The anti-cancer activity of terpenoids appears promising and will potentially open more opportunities for cancer therapy. "

01/01/2010 - "The constitutive and induced oleoresin terpenoids for conifer defense accumulate in preformed cortical resin ducts and in xylem trauma-associated resin ducts. "
10/01/2008 - "In plants, terpenoids represent a chemical defense against environmental stress and provide a repair mechanism for wounds and injuries. "
12/01/2009 - "The present results show that permeation of drugs through burn eschar can be increased considerably by terpenes and that burn wound antimicrobial therapy may be improved by terpenes and possibly other penetration enhancers."
05/01/2009 - "In this study, parts of the needles on a ring of Pinus massoniana seedling shoots were subjected to 4 hours Dendrolimus punctatus feeding or 4 hours fumigation with 10 micromol x L(-1) of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or terpenes, and the ABA and JA contents in treated needles, untreated neighboring sister needles, and untreated needles above and below the ring were determined by GC/MS. An obvious increase of ABA and JA contents was observed in all of the needles, whether they were treated or not, illustrating that ABA and JA were the vital signaling molecules in the wound signal transduction pathway, and participated in the formation of systematic resistance of P. "
04/01/2008 - "As the relative response of individual terpenoids did not differ substantially among herbivore, mechanical damage, and jasmonic acid treatments, the induction of terpenoids in cotton foliage appears to represent a non-specific wound response mediated by jasmonic acid."

06/01/2010 - "The efficacy of these terpenoids against breast or prostate cancer cells, as demonstrated in pre-clinical studies support clinical application of these naturally occurring terpenoids in treatment of hormone-related human cancers."
06/01/2010 - "Here we reviewed potential molecular targets and biological properties of natural terpenoids, including monoterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids and tetraterpenoids, and their applications in treatment of human breast and prostate cancers. "

01/01/2012 - "Our studies demonstrate that terpenoids from SDGE mediate apoptosis by activating p53 and should be therefore be investigated as agents for the treatment of endometrial cancer."
01/01/2012 - "Terpenoids from Zingiber officinale (Ginger) induce apoptosis in endometrial cancer cells through the activation of p53."
01/01/2012 - "Here, we demonstrate that terpenoids present in the Steam Distilled Extract of Ginger (SDGE) are potent inhibitors of proliferation of endometrial cancer cells. "
01/01/2012 - "SDGE was more effective in inducing cancer cell death than citral, suggesting that other terpenes present in SDGE were also contributing to endometrial cancer cell death. "
