Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate, the Potential Anti Brain Cancer Bioactive Compound

Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate may be the next pharmacotherapeutic target to identify the chemo drug for the treatment of brain cancer without inducing any side effects.

Phytochemicals, the natural chemical constituent, protect the plants against diseases and form their outer's color.

Brain and spinal cord make up the nervous system. Brain and Spinal Cord tumors originated are not very common.

Brain cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by cell growth disorderly in the brain tissue.

Benign tumors are noncancerous, and malignant tumors are cancerous. More than 190.000 people in the US are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year alone.

Most brain types of brain cancer in the older adult ages 50 to 60 are Chordomas. The cancer is a rare and slow-growing, but it can invade adjacent bone and put pressure on the nearby neural tissue.

Meningiomas, the most common type of benign brain tumor of the age group 40-50s. However, a small percentage of these tumors can be malignant.


According to the statistic provided by the Canadian cancer society, Every day about 25 Canadians is diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The 5-year survival rate of brain cancer is only 25%, compared to over 60% for cancers overall. Most adults with a diagnosis of aggressive glioblastoma survive only 1–2 years after their diagnosis.

The exact causes of brain cancer are debatable. Researchers di not know why people with the same health conditions, family history, are at a higher risk to develop brain cancer while others do not.

Some researchers suggested genetic preposition and acquired gene mutation due to long-term exposure to chemical toxins may be the prevalent risk factor that causes the alternation of brain cell DNA.

Most common symptoms of brain cancer depending on the stage are persistent headaches and localized pain, gradual loss of sensation and movement, speech difficulty and persistent pain


If you are experiencing some of the above symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor immediately to rule the brain cancer possibility.

Allyl isothiocyanate is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in horseradish, mustard, wasabi, etc.

Most primary tumors are caused by abnormal cells growth that surrounds and support neurons, with a small number may be caused by a gene defect from exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals.


In the examining the side effects of Allyl isothiocyanate from the available data suggest that urinary concentrations of AITC equivalent are at least ten times higher than in the plasma, and tissue levels of AITC equivalent in the urinary bladder were 14-79 times higher than in other organs after oral AITC administration to rats for the treatment of cancer.

These results indicated AITC may be most effective in the bladder as a cancer chemopreventive compound, as AITC at high-dose levels exhibited a low degree of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in animal cancer studies.


Once again, the experiment reaffirmed the effect of AITC in the exhibition of many desirable attributes of a cancer chemopreventive agent.
In the reassessment of Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) in the reduced risk of cancer, researchers at the National Chung Hsing University conducted an experiment to examine the effects of the phytochemical in the brain cancer cells.
In compared to other cancer cell lines inhibition, AITC significantly decreased proliferation and viability of human brain malignant glioma GBM 8401 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 9.25+/-0.69 microM for 24 h-treatment.

In cell differentiated assay, AITC induced significantly G2/M arrest and sub-G1 phase (apoptotic population) in GBM 8401 cells.

AITC markedly reduced the CDK1/cyclin B activity and protein levels which are responsible for cancer cell proliferation and survival.

Furthermore, AITC-induced apoptotic cell death through enhancing the proteins associated with cells death programming.

Dr. Chen NG, the lead scientists at the final report, said, "AITC is a potent anti-human brain malignant glioma drug and it shows a remarkable action on cell cycle arrest before a commitment for apoptosis is reached".

Taken altogether, it is safe to suggest that Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate may be used as chemopreventive and functional phytochemical for high-risk brain cancer individuals and an adjunct therapy combined with primary medicine for the treatment of brain cancer.

Curcumin, Protects the Blood Vessels Against the Onset of Stroke, in Vivo

A stroke is a medical condition caused by poor blood flow to the brain, leading to the death of the neurons.

Besides cancer and heart diseases, stroke is the third leading cause of death in the US. According to the statistics, approximate 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or its complications.

The causes of stroke are either associated with plaque build-up on the arteries, leading to reduce blood flow to the brain, depending on the location of an obstruction or the breaking of small blood vessels in the brain.

In other words, strokes can be classified into 2 types

* Ischemic stroke caused by a clot or other blockage within an artery which leads to the brain.

* Hemorrhagic stroke caused by the vessel in the brain rupturing that results in blood leaking into the brain.

Stroke is caused by a number of factors. Epidemiological studies suggested high blood pressure, medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, smoking, age, gender ethnicity and personal or family history of stroke are some of the prevalent risk factors.

Some researchers in the examination of the rise of stroke in North American suggested that stroke may be associated with the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades.

The American Heart Association wrote, "Western" diets consisting of red and processed meats, refined grains, sweets, and desserts may be associated with a greater risk of stroke, according to a study published in this week's rapid access issue of Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association".

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of stroke prevention scientists evaluated the protective effects of curcumin, the best-known member and is mainly extracted from turmeric preventive effect on stroke.

The study included stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRsp) randomly divided into either a control group (n = 10, saline or curcumin (100 mg/kg/day)) or curcumin group (n = 10) administrated daily.

According to the tested assays, administration of curcumin significantly delayed the onset of stroke and increased the survival of SHRsp by decreasing the expression of ROS and improving endothelial-dependent relaxation of carotid arteries.

However, according to the RT-PCR and immunoblotting, curcumin showed no statistical significance in the presence of UCP2 inhibitor genipin by blocking the decrease of ROS and increase of NO production.

Where genipin is a chemical compound found in gardenia fruit extract.

In other words, in order for curcumin to exert its stroke preventive activity, curcumin cannot be consumed together with gardenia fruit.

Additionally, in the study to examine the curcumin effect during the stroke, researchers found that curcumin encapsulated in exosomes, nano-vesicles (<200 nm), shows therapeutic effects in brain diseases, such as stroke.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention of stroke, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Bioactive Compound Alliin, Inhibits Chronic Parameters Associated with Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a group of chronic conditions involved in blood vessels or heart.

Depending on the location that has been affected, CVD can be classified to 6 main types including
* Ischemic heart disease, the most form of cardiovascular disease in the Western world caused by partial blockage of blood flow in the arteries, leading to reduced oxygenate blood circulation to the heart muscle.

* Strokes is caused by the reduced circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the brain due to blockage or breaking capillaries.
* Congenital heart disease a condition caused the defected structure of the heart arising because of a birth defect.

There are many factors associated with risk CVD. Epidemiologically, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, smoking, medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, family history and women with PCOs are some CVD prevalent risks.


The more factors you have, your risk of CVD is higher compared to those with less.

Out of the aforementioned risk factors, some researchers in the examination of the risk of atherosclerosis increased at the alarming rate over the past few decades suggested that CVD may be correlated to the promotion of a high-fat diet in the same period.

Dr. Frank M. Sacks said, ",...randomized controlled trials that lowered intake of dietary saturated fat and replaced it with polyunsaturated vegetable oil reduced CVD by ≈30%, similar to the reduction achieved by statin treatment".


And, "Prospective observational studies in many populations showed that lower intake of saturated fat coupled with higher intake of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat is associated with lower rates of CVD and of other major causes of death and all-cause mortality".

In other words, the long-term high fat diet has a strong implication in elevated the onset of CVD.


Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belonging to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

With an aim to find natural cardioprotective ingredient researchers examined the effects of short-term treatment with two doses of CPSSA on cardiovascular risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome, in comparison to the effects of allicin and captopril separately.

Allicin (8 mg/(kg day)) protected the heart function by significantly reduced insulin, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations and blood pressure compared to Captopril (50mg/(kg day)) improvement only on blood pressure and homocysteine.


Allylmercaptocaptopril (CPSSA), a new stable synthetic compound produced by chemical reaction between allicin and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril with low dose (5mg/(kg day)) lowered SBP but did not improve any other measured parameter, while treatment with a higher dose (50mg/(kg day)) significantly decreased blood pressure, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations.

In other words, allicin and captopril protect the heart synergetically by inhibited the conditions associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Based on the findings, Dr. the lead scientist wrote," the combined molecule CPSSA integrates the anti-hypertensive, lipid-lowering, and homocysteine-reducing effects of both allicin and captopril, making it a potential cardiovascular protective agent.".


Taken altogether, alliin used alone or combined with other herbal medicines may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cranberry, Inhibits the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

The kidneys formed part of the secretary system are two bean-shaped organs located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area.

The kidneys play a critical role in filtering wastes from the breakdown of active muscle and the food you eat and removing extra water from the blood through urinary secretion.

Futhermore, the kidneys also maintain the fluid in the body by secreting extra water through urinary secretion.

Kidney dysfunction reduces the body's ability to clean and filter extra water from your blood, leading to fluid retention and high blood pressure in the early stage. Believe it or not, people with a kidney function of 10% do not show signs of kidney dysfunction and symptoms.


In other words, kidney disease often has no symptoms until at a very advanced stage.

Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Chronic kidney failure is the end stage of chronic kidney disease which has been found in high number in patients with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders.


Acute kidney dysfunction or acute kidneys failure is a result of insufficient blood flow to the kidneys such as renal hypertension. These types of kidneys dysfunction can be cured if the causes are found.

Most cases of acute kidney dysfunction may be associated with toxin accumulated in the kidney organs, leading to the condition of nephrotoxicity.

Nephrotoxicity is a condition of kidney function caused by exposure to toxic chemicals or overdose of certain medications.

Some researchers suggested that people with diabetes are at an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, particularly in those with hyperglycemia.

The National Kidney Foundation wrote, "Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, accounting for 44% percent of new cases. Current research suggests that control of high blood pressure is a key factor in slowing this disease. The strict control of blood sugar levels and reduction of dietary protein intake are also important. Treatment to prevent diabetic kidney disease should begin early — before kidney damage develops".

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of renal disease, researchers examined the effect Vaccinium macrocarpon (Dandelion)and Taraxacum officinale (Cranberry) on spontaneous feline chronic kidney disease.

The study included 34 neutered cats, suffering from stage II-III chronic kidney disease and diagnosed according to the International Renal Interest Society guidelines randomly assigned to receive either a control diet (n = 17) or a nutraceutical diet (ND; n = 17) containing 60-80% hydrolyzed proteins, 20-40% minerals and active substances (Lespedeza spp. 0.0588, Vaccinium macrocarpon 0.0371%, and Taraxacum officinale 0.0231%.) for 90 days.

According to tested analysis, both showed a significant effect on the reduced symptoms.

Cats that received the ND exerted a significant decrease of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total proteins, and aspartate aminotransferase. The elevated levels of the aforementioned parameters have been found persistently in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Furthermore, urine turbidity score, color score, and total proteins associated with the progression of CKD in cats that received the ND were also decreased substantially.

Collectively, researchers after taking other factors into account said, "An ND based on Lespedeza spp., Vaccinium macrocarpon, and Taraxacum officinale improves key indicators of renal failure in cats affected by chronic kidney disease".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of CKD, particularly in the combination with dandelion and Lespedeza spp, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Betacyanins, the Natural Free Radical Scavengers

Free radical scavengers are antioxidants that gobble up free radicals before they can cause a chain of reaction.

Most common types of free radical scavengers are catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), vitamin A, C, D, and E.

Free radicals are highly unstable molecules. They can be everywhere. Internally, free radicals are produced in our body during the process of cell metabolism. Externally, free radicals can enter our body from the environment sources, such as the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.

In other words, any chemical compounds or molecules which process oxygen atom can be free radical after chemical interaction.


Oxidative stress is a result of overexpression of free radical-induced by a chain reaction that can not be stopped due to reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes produced by the body.

Why? overexpression of free radicals causes lipid peroxidation by oxidizing the free and ester forms of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol through three distinct mechanisms, including free radical-mediated chain reaction, enzyme-mediated oxidation, and nonradical, non-enzymatic oxidation.

Over time, oxidative stress can damage the lipid, and protein and induce the alternation of healthy cell DNA.

How important free radical scavengers to our bodies? Dr. Milind S Hatwalne in the investigation of the effect of free radical scavengers in anesthesiology and critical care wrote, "Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable compounds. They play a central role in the mechanism of cell injury and cell death".


And, "Free radical scavengers either prevent these reactive species from being formed or remove them before they can damage vital components of the cell" and "Several clinical trials have been performed in order to reduce oxidative stress by supplementation of antioxidants alone or in combination with standard therapies. Antioxidant supplementation at an early stage of illness may lead to improved therapies in the treatment of critically ill patients".

In other words, antioxidants with free radical scavenging activity may protect the body against the damage of various cellular components.

Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.

With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the effect of betacyanins as free radical scavengers.

By analyzing the compound in betacyanins, researchers found that
* Betanin was a weak free radical scavenger in the free radical chain-breaking probably due to kinetic solvent effects on its solubility, stability and reaction rates and partition in lipid bilayers (a thin polar membrane) activity.

* Betanidin also found in betacyanins behaved as a chain-terminating antioxidant in the liposomal model,.particualrly in peroxyl radical-scavenging activity


The finding strongly suggested that betacyanins exhibit a chemical reaction of betanin and its glycone betanidin towards peroxyl radicals generated from the azo-initiated oxidation.

Additionally, in the peroxyl radical generating system with the presence of AAPH and NO-generating system, researchers assessed the antioxidant capacity of betacyanins as indole-derived plant pigments, such as betanin, phyllotactic and betanidin.

According to the tested assays, betacyanins induced peroxyl radical scavenging capacity at a dose-dependent in the low concentration range (25-100 nM).

Furthermore, betacyanins also reduced the nitrite-level in the low concentration range of 2.5-20 μM.

In chemical ingredients differentiation, the IC₅₀ values (μM) of nitrogen radical scavenging activity were 24.48, 17.51 and 6.81 for betanin, phyllocactin and betanidin.

Based on the results, Dr. Taira J, the lead scientist wrote, "These results indicated that betacyanins have a strong antioxidant capacity, particularly betanidin with a catechol group had higher activity than those of the glycoside of betacyanins".


Taken altogether, betacyanins may be considered free radical scavenger to terminate the oxidative reaction, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

3,3'-Diindolylmethane Inhibits Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Scientists may have found a bioactive compound for the treatment of pancreatic cancer with no side effects, according to studies.

Pancreatic cancer is a chronic condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the pancreas.

According to statistics, every year, approximately, over 55,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, accounting to 3% of all cancers and 7% of all cancer deaths.


The survival rate of pancreatic cancer even diagnosed early is very low compared to other types of cancer. The 5-year survival rate at stage IA pancreatic cancer is only14%.

Researchers do not know what causes pancreatic cancer. They don't even know why people with the same health conditions in the same family, some are susceptible to pancreatic cancer, while others do not.

Most common risk factors of pancreatic cancer are similar to those of common cancers, including age, family history, gender, ethnicity, smoking, being overweight or obesity and certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

However, some researchers suggested that an unhealthy diet with high animal products such as the Western diet is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.


Dr. McCarty MF at the Pantox Laboratories, in the investigation of the insulin secretion as a determinant of pancreatic cancer risk, wrote, "In international ecologic epidemiology, pancreatic cancer rates correlate tightly with dietary intake of animal products; this may reflect the fact that vegan diets are associated with low diurnal insulin secretion".

And, "There is also suggestive evidence that macrobiotic vegan diets, which are low in glycemic index, may increase mean survival time in pancreatic cancer. However, other types of diets associated with decreased postprandial insulin response, such as high-protein diets or 'Mediterranean' diets high in oleic acid, may also have the potential for pancreatic cancer prevention".

The results clearly indicated a reduced risk of diets associated with less consumption of animal products and high fruits and vegetables such as traditional and vegan diet.

3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM are phytochemicals derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, belonging to the group of Indoles, found abundantly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, etc.

Researchers on finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of pancreatic cancer examined the function of dietary 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) on the molecules of pancreatic cancer through the mechanistic underexpression of Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) in pancreatic cancer.

Where Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a zinc-finger transcription factor plays a critical role in the regulation of many cellular functions in both normal and neoplastic (benign or cancer) cells.

Injection of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane inhibited the overexpression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in the promotion of cell cycle division, leading to the decreased KLF4 expression.

In other words, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane increased KLF4 expression in altering pancreatic cancer cells cycle progression by arresting the cells at the G2/M phase.

The findings indicated that DIM treatment caused significant inhibition of cell growth in vitro and tumorigenesis in animal models of pancreatic cancer.

Dr. Xie VK and colleagues said, "dysregulated KLF4 expression associated with poor differentiation of pancreatic cancer" and "dietary DIM causes differentiation and significant growth inhibition of pancreatic cancer cells".

In order to reveal more information about the effect of DIM against the progression pancreatic cancer, researchers investigated the overexpression of miR-221 in pancreatic cancer cell lines and tumor tissues compared to normal pancreatic duct epithelial cells and normal pancreas tissues.

Application of DIM exerted a significant effect in enhancing the transfection of miR-221 inhibitor in suppressing the proliferative capacity of pancreatic cancer cells accompanied by the activation of genes associated with tumor suppression.

Futhermore, injection of DIM alone or combined with isoflavone mixture (G2535), formulated 3,3'-diindolylmethane (BR-DIM), or synthetic curcumin analog (CDF) demonstrated a strong effect against the expression of miR-221 in pancreatic cancer cells, leading to the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration.

Dr. Sarkar S, the lead scientist wrote in the final report, "These results provide experimental evidence in support of the oncogenic role of miR-221 and also demonstrate the role of isoflavone, BR-DIM, and CDF as potential non-toxic agents that are capable of down-regulation of miR-221".


Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the I3C may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.


Intake of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane as a supplement should be taken with exceptional care to prevent acute liver toxicity.

Antioxidant Lycopene Protects Your Arteries Against Hypertension

Hypertension is a condition of abnormally high blood pressure. It also is a member of the cluster of metabolic syndrome associated with the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the arterial walls. In high blood pressure, the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood through the circulation system. Over time, high blood pressure has been found to cause damage to the heart and arteries.

High blood pressure can be acute or chronic. Acute high blood pressure most often occurs to people with sudden stress.

Sometimes, it can be caused by intense physical exercise. As the heart must pump harder to provide the needs of nutrients and oxygen.

People with high blood pressure in most cases are asymptomatic.

Most cases of chronic high blood pressure are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and chronic diseases such as kidney disease, leading to the onset of strokes and cardiovascular disease.


On another hand, If you can control your diet, such as making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.

Epidemiologically, here are some natural remedies that will help you to lower high blood pressure, keeping it in the normal range of 130/80.
* Calcium and Magnesium
A combination of these 2 minerals with the right DOSAGES has a long and indisputable track record for normalizing blood pressure safely. Be sure only taking these compounds with a ratio of 2 to 1. Otherwise, this compound might cause an irregular heartbeat.

* Mediterranean diet
A study found that people in Greece and Italy always have ideal blood pressure, because their diet contains more polyunsaturated fat, such as olive oil. If you can replace saturated fat in your diet with extra virgin oil, you could easily normalize your blood pressure.

* Reducing Salt intake
Salt is a mineral composed of sodium and chloride. You need only half a tablespoon a day, but we consume many times more than that every day causing high blood pressure and increasing the risk of early death.
Avoid processed meat, because it has been soaked in salt. Use little Ketchup, mustard, and soy sauce because they contain high amounts of salt.

* Cigarette
If you smoke, you better quit. The nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products causes your blood vessels to constrict and your heart to beat faster, which temporarily raises your blood pressure.

* Alcohol
Alcohol might cause a temporary rise in blood pressure in some people. If you have high blood pressure, you should reduce your daily intake of alcohol to 1-2 cups.

* Relaxation
Stress may affect blood pressure. Managing stress, by relaxation techniques, such as yoga, lightweight exercise, aerobic exercise, can be healful.

Lycopene is a phytochemical in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,

Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of hypertension, researchers examined the tomato carotenoids such as lycopene anti-high blood pressure activity.

The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study included patients with untreated hypertension individuals who received either 5, 15 and 30 mg lycopene or 15 mg of synthetic lycopene or a placebo over eight weeks.

According to the tested analysis,* The effective doses of Tomato Nutrient Complex (TNC) that maintain normal blood pressure in untreated hypertensive individuals were 15 or 30 mg of lycopene associated with significant reductions in mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) compared to other treatments.
* Furthermore, Treatment with the lower dose standardized for 5 mg of lycopene or treatment with 15 mg of synthetic lycopene showed no significant effect on blood pressure.


* The increase of blood levels of lycopene was dose-dependent.

The results strongly suggested that only the TNC dose of 15 mg lycopene or higher have a beneficial effect on SBP in hypertension.

Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of hypertension, pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Ashwagandha Arrests Prostate Cancer In Vitro

Cancer is a group of chronic diseases caused by irregular cell growth in the specific tissue of an organ due to DNA alternation.

Most cases of cancer start in the cell of the surface of the inner lining tissue before penetrating into deeper layers to form a tumor.

However, as cancer continued proliferation, at certain stages it can damage other healthy tissues. Sometimes cancer cell can spread to other organs in the body via lymph or blood.

Prostate cancer is a medical condition caused by the alternation of the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue.

Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the physical (rectum) exams.

According to the statistic, approximately, 1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime and 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older.

Prostate cancer shared common symptoms of an enlarged prostate, including frequent urination particularly at night, weak or interrupted urine flow and erectile dysfunction, blood in the urine and blood in the seminal fluid.

The causes of prostate cancer are unknown. The increases with age, especially after age 50. family history. ethnicity, hereditary breast, and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome and genetic proposition are some prevalent factors found in patients with the condition.

Conventionally, treatments of prostate cancer are totally depending on the type, stage, and grade accompanied by the patient overall health, age and life expectancy.

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

Researchers on finding a potent and natural ingredient for the treatment of prostate cancer investigated the effects of Withania extracts on highly metastatic, androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line (PC3).


According to the results obtained from tested differentiation, the extracts demonstrated strong inhibitory activity in decreasing the cancer cell viability with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 10 μg/mL.

The sample of prostate tissue and in PC3 cells also exhibited the predominantly high expression levels of IL-8 associated with the production chemokine produced by macrophages and COX-2 involved in the contribution of immune evasion and resistance to cancer immunotherapy were also suppressed by the lowest dose of W. somnifera in 24 hours.


Furthermore, the extract induced cycle arrest of the cancer cell line at the cell cycle in G2/M phase, observed from the rapid accumulation of PC3 cells significantly.

Moreover, W. somnifera extracts suppressed the PC3 inherent metastatic activity.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "W. somnifera may be a good therapeutic agent in addition to the existing drugs for PC".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of prostate cancer, pending to the confirmation of larger size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Anacardic Acids, Kills Prostate Cancer Cells in Vivo and Vitro


Anacardic acids may process a significant effect in reducing the risk and treatment of prostate cancer, some scientists suggested.

Prostate cancer is a chronic medical condition characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the prostate tissue.

Most cases of prostate cancer start on the cell of the surface of the prostate inner lining due to unknown mechanisms that alter the prostate cells' DNA.

Most prostate cancers and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the Physical (rectum) exams.

Prostate cancer is very slowly cancer.

The exact causes of prostate cancer are debatable.

People who were infected by the prostate cell change may not feel any symptoms until they are the age of 50 or over.

Aging, ethnicity, family history and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome associated with DNA-repair mutations to the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes, exposure to toxic chemicals are the most common risk factors associated to the onset of the diseases.

However, most men who have some of the above risk factors do not develop prostate cancer.

Some researchers in the comparison of prostate cancer risk in men who follow different diets and lifestyle suggested, the risk of prostate cancer increased substantially in men who follow the Western diet high saturated fat and trans fat, red meat, and processed foods and low in fruits and vegetable and whole grains.


On the other hand, the risk of prostate cancer decreases in men who have followed the traditional diet.


Dr.Roberto Fabiani, the lead author at the University of Perugia, in the study "A Western Dietary Pattern Increases Prostate Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" said, " The Healthy pattern was not related to PC risk (OR = 0.96; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88–1.04) while the Western pattern significantly increased it (OR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.08–1.65)".


Men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer due to family history and ethnicity may lower the risk by changing diet patterns with more fruits and vegetables and less red meat and processed foods.


Anacardic acids are phenolic lipids, phytochemicals of the organic acid found abundantly in cashews, mangoes, etc..

In the study to reaffirm the anti-prostate cancer effect of Anacardic acid (6-pentadecylsalicylic acid), a natural inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase from Amphipterygium adstringens, researchers at the East China Normal University conducted an investigation to examine whether this salicylic acid could block angiogenesis.

Application of Anacardic acid significantly suppressed the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in the induction of prostate cancer cell proliferation, migration, and adhesion and capillary-like structure formation of primary cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) without detecting cellular toxicity.


Anacardic acid also effectively inhibited vascular development in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane ex vivo (n = 10) and VEGF-triggered corneal neovascularization in vivo.

In mice bearing human prostate tumor xenografts (n = 6-7), the application of anacardic acid (2 mg/kg per day) inhibited the volume and weight of solid tumors through apoptosis.


Furthermore, the application of anacardic acid retarded the prostate tumor cell proliferation and microvessel density.

Additionally, Anacardic acid (AA) as a mixture of 2-hydroxy-6-alkylbenzoic acid homologs also inhibited LNCaP cell proliferation, induces G1/S cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of LNCaP cell.

After taking into account co and confounders, researchers discovered that AA-induced the LNCaP cells apoptosis may be due to the following aspects
* AA can regulate p300 transcription and protein level against the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation.in LNCaP cells.

* AA can activate p53 through its function as a regulator of the cell cycle and a tumor suppression against LNCaP cells.

* AA can down-regulates androgen receptor (AR) through suppressing p300 in the development and progression of prostate cancer.

The results suggested that AA process multiple anti-tumor activities in LNCaP cells.

Taken altogether, Anacardic acids may be considered a functional phytochemical for the prevention of prostate cancer and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer, without inducing any side effects, depending on the large and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate and Bladder Cancer

Allyl isothiocyanate is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in horseradish, mustard, wasabi, etc.

The bladder is a hollow elastic organ in the center of the lower abdomen that collects urine from the kidneys and excreted them through the urethra.

Bladder cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects men twice as frequently as it effects women. Usually, it starts from the lining of the bladder caused by several types of malignant growths of the urinary bladder cells.


The study of AITC found cruciferous vegetables and celecoxib effects in modulating cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), as its oncogenic activity has been well documented in bladder cancer and other cancers, this effectiveness is as result of associated with depletion of prostaglandin E2, a key downstream signaling molecule of Cox-2, caspase activation and downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in the tumor tissues.

In another study, the N-acetylcysteine conjugate (NAC-AITC) is found to be a significant inhibition of cell growth and proliferation in human bladder cancer UM-UC-3 cells or rat bladder cancer AY-27 cells with NAC-AITC at 15 μM.

Whole Food Onion, the Best Anticancer Functional Food

Cancer is a group of medical conditions caused by irregular cell growth in the tissues organs due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the infected tissue or argan before penetrating into the deeper layers to form a tumor.


Certain factors have been found to affect prognosis including
* The type of cancer and where it is in your body

*The stage of cancer, most often refers to the size and metastasis of cancer.

** Stage 0
Cancer is classified as Stage 0 if the cancerous cell has not penetrated in deeper tissue but on the surface of the inner lining.
** Stage I
In stage I, The cancerous cells are no longer in the surface but have invaded into deep lung lining, but still completely inside the lung.
***Stage IA1
The cancer is ≤ 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep and ≤ 7 mm (1/4 inch) wide.
**** Stage IA1: The spreading is < 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and & less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide.
**** Stage IA2: The invasion area is ≥ 3 mm but ≤ 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and & less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide.
***. Stage IB: cancer in this stage have invaded the connective tissue, & less than 5mm (1/5 inch).
**** Stage IB1: Cancer is 4 cm large (1 3/4 inches).
**** Stage IB2: Cancer is ≥ 4 cm (1 3/4 inches) but & less than 5cm (1/5 inch)

**Stage II
In stage II, the cancerous cells have spread to distant tissues but are still within the organ.

**Stage III
this stage, cancerous cells have spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the organ.

**Stage IV
In the stage, IV is the most advanced stage of cancer as cancerous cells have spread to the distant parts of the body

In this stage, cancerous cells have spread to the tissues immediately surrounding the organ.


* Cancer’s grade, low-grade cancers usually grow more slowly and are less likely to spread while high-grade cancer indicates otherwise.

* Certain traits of cancer cells include
** How cancer cell stimulates their own growth

** How cancer cells resist inhibitory signals that stop their growth

** How cancer cells inhibit programmed cell death signaling.

Some researchers also include the age, health of patients and how patients responded to previous cancer treatment

The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.

Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.

With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effect of garlic and onion on certain types of cancer.


Intake of onion is found inversely associated with the risk of onions or garlic and cancers of the oral cavity/pharynx, larynx, renal cells, breast, ovary, and endometrium.


More precisely, people who eat onions ≥7 times/week have the OR of oral cavity/pharyngeal cancers of 0.16, laryngeal cancer of 0.17, and ovarian cancer of 0.27 compared to those who did not eat onions.

Furthermore, according to the study of cases from the Hawaii Tumor Registry and controls randomly selected from a list of Oahu residents, intake of onion was associated with decreased risk of lung cancer with the OR = 0.5 in the highest quartile of intake compared to the lowest.

In prostate cancer, the Italian study suggested that both onions and garlic did not have significantly decreased OR of prostate cancer compared to those with the lowest intake, However, increasing intake showed a trend of decreasing the ORs.


In esophageal cancer, the intake of raw garlic/onion at least one time per week has the adjusted OR of esophageal cancer of 0.2.

In colorectal cancer, the Italian and Swiss case-control studies found that both onions show a protective effect against colon cancer regardless of the amount of intake onion intake compared to non-consumers of onion.

In stomach cancer, according to the meta-analysis, consumption of large amounts of total Allium vegetables, such as garlic and onion reduced the risk of gastric cancer by comparing the highest and lowest consumption groups.

Taken altogether, onion may be considered a remedy for the prevention of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Green Peas (Pisum Sativum), the Potential Treatment of Colitis

Colitis is a general term associated with the inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.

The disease can be caused by infection, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis(CD)), ischemic colitis, allergic reactions, and microscopic colitis.

Most cases of colitis are involved in the damage of the intestinal mucosal barrier, particularly to those of ulcerative colitis.

Epidemiologically, damage and a reduction of gut bacteria by dietary chemicals, such as antibiotics of the protective mucus layer and the underlying tissue by the poorly inactivated digestive proteases have been found to induce both UC and CD.

The intestinal mucosal barrier is the outermost inner layer of the lining of the intestines which plays an essential role to ensure the adequate containment of undesirable luminal contents within the intestine while preserving the ability to absorb nutrients.

Additionally, the intestinal mucosal barrier also processes various immunological mediators, including cytokines and chemokines stimulated by gut microbiota and host immune responses, thus maintaining a well-balanced relationship between gut microbes and the host immune system.

In other words, the intestinal mucosal barrier protects the colonic integrity by interacting with the gut microbiota and the immune response to prevent the inflammation of the colon that causes the onset of colitis.

Some researchers suggested the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades may be one of the most prevalent factors that increase the risk of colitis.

Dr. Max Gulhane, the lead scientist wrote, "Prolonged high-fat diets (HFD) induce low-grade chronic intestinal inflammation in mice, and diets high in saturated fat are a risk factor for the development of human inflammatory bowel diseases".

And, "HFD-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/oxidative stress occur in intestinal secretory goblet cells, triggering inflammatory signaling and reducing synthesis/secretion of proteins that form the protective mucus barrier".

The finding strongly suggested the mucosal barrier dysfunction induces by a high-fat diet involved in the colitis developing.

Green peas are species of Pisum Sativum belongings to the family Fabaceae and native to western Asia from the Mediterranean Sea to the Himalaya Mountains. The pea is a green, pod-shaped vegetable and a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world.

On finding a potent ingredient that processes anti-inflammatory activity with oxidative stress, researchers investigated the impact of green pea (GP) supplementation on the susceptibility of high-fat diet (HFD) in an animal model.



The study included Six-week-old C57BL/6J female mice randomly assigned into groups fed a 45% HFD or HFD supplemented with 10% GP. After 7-week dietary supplementation, following by colitis induced by adding 2.5% DSS in drinking water for 7 days followed by a 7-day recovery period.




According to the tested analysis, GP supplementation ameliorated the disease activity index score in HFD-fed mice by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.



Furthermore, inflammatory markers associated with inflammatory proteins and enzymes such as interleukin (IL)-6, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), IL-17, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in HFD-fed mice were also decreased by GP supplement.

Goblet cell differentiation markers in HFD-fed mice.associated with mucus secretion and function during the stage of inflammation were also increased by the administration of GP supplementation.

Furthermore, endoplasmic reticulum (er) stress-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in HFD-fed mice was also inhibited by GP supplement.


Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "GP supplementation ameliorated the severity of DSS-induced colitis in HFD-fed mice, which was associated with the suppression of inflammation, mucin depletion, and ER stress in the colon".

Taken altogether, green peas may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate, the Potential Anti Brain Cancer Bioactive Compound

Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate may be the next pharmacotherapeutic target to identify the chemo drug for the treatment of brain cancer without inducing any side effects.

Phytochemicals, the natural chemical constituent, protect the plants against diseases and form their outer's color.

Brain and spinal cord make up the nervous system. Brain and Spinal Cord tumors originated are not very common.

Brain cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by cell growth disorderly in the brain tissue.

Benign tumors are noncancerous, and malignant tumors are cancerous. More than 190.000 people in the US are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year alone.

Most brain types of brain cancer in the older adult ages 50 to 60 are Chordomas. The cancer is a rare and slow-growing, but it can invade adjacent bone and put pressure on the nearby neural tissue.

Meningiomas, the most common type of benign brain tumor of the age group 40-50s. However, a small percentage of these tumors can be malignant.


According to the statistic provided by the Canadian cancer society, Every day about 25 Canadians is diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The 5-year survival rate of brain cancer is only 25%, compared to over 60% for cancers overall. Most adults with a diagnosis of aggressive glioblastoma survive only 1–2 years after their diagnosis.

The exact causes of brain cancer are debatable. Researchers di not know why people with the same health conditions, family history, are at a higher risk to develop brain cancer while others do not.

Some researchers suggested genetic preposition and acquired gene mutation due to long-term exposure to chemical toxins may be the prevalent risk factor that causes the alternation of brain cell DNA.

Most common symptoms of brain cancer depending on the stage are persistent headaches and localized pain, gradual loss of sensation and movement, speech difficulty and persistent pain


If you are experiencing some of the above symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor immediately to rule the brain cancer possibility.

Allyl isothiocyanate is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in horseradish, mustard, wasabi, etc.

Most primary tumors are caused by abnormal cell growth that surrounds and supports neurons, with a small number may be caused by a gene defect from exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals.


In the examining the side effects of Allyl isothiocyanate from the available data suggest that urinary concentrations of AITC equivalent are at least ten times higher than in the plasma, and tissue levels of AITC equivalent in the urinary bladder were 14-79 times higher than in other organs after oral AITC administration to rats for the treatment of cancer.

These results indicated AITC may be most effective in the bladder as a cancer chemopreventive compound, as AITC at high-dose levels exhibited a low degree of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in animal cancer studies.

Once again, the experiment reaffirmed the effect of AITC in the exhibition of many desirable attributes of a cancer chemopreventive agent.
In the reassessment of Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) in the reduced risk of cancer, researchers at the National Chung Hsing University conducted an experiment to examine the effects of the phytochemical in the brain cancer cells.
In compared to other cancer cell lines inhibition, AITC significantly decreased proliferation and viability of human brain malignant glioma GBM 8401 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 9.25+/-0.69 microM for 24 h-treatment.

In cell differentiated assay, AITC induced significantly G2/M arrest and sub-G1 phase (apoptotic population) in GBM 8401 cells.

AITC markedly reduced the CDK1/cyclin B activity and protein levels which are responsible for cancer cell proliferation and survival.

Furthermore, AITC-induced apoptotic cell death through enhancing the proteins associated with cells death programming.


Dr. Chen NG, the lead scientists at the final report, said, "AITC is a potent anti-human brain malignant glioma drug and it shows a remarkable action on cell cycle arrest before a commitment for apoptosis is reached".

Taken altogether, it is safe to suggest that Phytochemical Allyl isothiocyanate may be used as chemopreventive and functional phytochemical for high-risk brain cancer individuals and an adjunct therapy combined with primary medicine for the treatment of brain cancer.

Anacardic acids may be considered a bioactive ingredient for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, some scientists found.

Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. Most cases of primary lung cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of lung tissue.

At the early stage, most patients do not experience any symptoms. However, as cancer continues to advance, it can put pressure on the nearby healthy tissue such as blood vessels and nerve cells, leading to localized symptoms and severe pain.

At the later stage, lung cancells can also travel through blood and fluids circulation to infect other healthy tissue and organ, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to the 2007 statistic, the most common form of primary lung cancers is derived from epithelial cells. In the US, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, causing 158,683 people deaths, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women.

The most common form of lung cancer metastasis is brain cancer, according to the statistic, approximately, 40 percent of people with advanced lung cancer will develop brain cancer sometimes during the disease.

The causes of lung cancer are unknown. However, epidemiologically suggested that although there are many risk factors associated with the onset of lung cancers, smoking tobacco, and second-hand smoke are considered the most risk of the diseases.

Other risk factors include radon asbestos, occupational exposure to certain chemicals, outdoor air pollution, personal or family history of lung cancer, personal history of lung disease and long-term exposure to radiation.

Dr. Muhammad Furrukh, in the concern of tobacco smoking in the risk of lung cancer, said, "Tobacco smoking remains the most established cause of lung carcinogenesis and other disease processes" and "Over the last 50 years, tobacco refinement and the introduction of filters have brought a change in histology, and now adenocarcinoma has become the most prevalent subtype"

"Over the last decade, smoking also has emerged as a strong prognostic and predictive patient characteristic along with other variables".

Anacardic acids are phenolic lipids, phytochemicals of the organic acid found abundantly in cashews, mangoes, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, researchers looked into the anti-lung cancer effect of anacardic acid (AA), a constituent of the cashew nutshell.

Application of the chemical compound exerted a strong cytotoxic activity against A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, through the expression of reactive oxidative spices.

AA also activated the proteins associated with cell apoptosis in A549 cells.

Furthermore, in the study of the efficacy of AA against cancer cells, researchers looked into the role of the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) during the cancer inhibition.

Application of AA exerted a strong anti-cancer effect through a series of mechanisms, including induced cancer cells apoptosis by overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines correlated with the inhibition of various gene products associated with cancer cell proliferation and survival.

Moreover, the application of AA also blocked the formation of new blood vessels induced by the tumor.

The finding suggested that AA inhibits the function of NF-κB, a protein complex in controlling the transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival.

Dr. Sung B, after taking into account co and confounders said, " (There is) a novel role for anacardic acid in potentially preventing or treating cancer through modulation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway".


Taken altogether, Anacardic acid (AA) may be used for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Betacyanins Protects the Cell Integrity Against Cancers

Cancer is a class of disease characterized by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the tissues and organs.

Most common cancers are
* Breast cancer, accounting for 25.4% of the total number of new cases diagnosed in 2018.

Breast cancer starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk. there are also rare cases that breast cancer starts in other areas of the breast. The risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of women is 1/8.

Luckily, the 5 years survival rate of localized breast cancer is about 100%.

* Colorectal cancer and lung cancers are the second and third most common cancers, accounting to 43.9% of all cancers, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.

Colorectal cancer is cancer in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix. Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing cancer.

The 5-year survival rate of the localized stage of colorectal cancer is about 90%.

Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. Most common form of primary lung cancers is derived from epithelial cells.


Lung cancer can also be classified into
* Non-small cell lung cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. It usually grows and spreads methodically and predictably.

* Small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing type of lung cancer, it can spread to distant parts of the body in a relatively early stage.

The overall 5-year survival rate of lung cancer is about 60%.

Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.



In the finding, the health benefits of Betacyanins, researchers compared the effect of green beet (Beta vulgaris var. cicla L.) and red beetroot (B. vulgaris var. Rubra L.) phytochemicals that benefit the human health.

According to the chemical analysis, green beet contains apigenin, vitexin, vitexin-2-O-xyloside, and vitexin-2-O-rhamnoside, compared to the red beetroot as a source of betaxanthins and betacyanins.

All phytochemicals found in green and red beet show a considerable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative activities.


In cancer perspective, vitexin-2-O-xyloside combined with betaxanthins and betacyanins, exerts a significant antiproliferative activity in breast, liver, colon, and bladder cancer cell lines, through the induction of cancer cells apoptosis.

Additionally, betacyanins and other phytochemicals found in the green and red beet inhibited the pro-survival and anti-apoptotic genes, modulated proteins associated with angiogenesis.

Moreover, betaxanthins and betacyanins used in combination with conventional anticancer drugs were found to reduce the chemo drug toxicity and overcome the multidrug resistance of cancer cells.

Based on the finding, researchers concluded betacyanins ma be used alone or combined with other phytochemicals or chemo drugs to block the onset of the proliferation of tumor cells.

Taken altogether, betacyanins may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Turmeric Enhances the Ratio of Human Gut Microbiota

Gut microbiota is a community of microbes living in the gastrointestinal tract.
Believe it or not, there are over trillions of microorganisms, including at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with more than 3 million genes.

In a healthy individual, the ratio of good and bad microbes in the gut are balanced. However, people who are under constant stress or have a psychological condition such as anxiety, and depression, and long-term use of antibiotics may have a negative impact on the ratio.


In other words, emotional problems, use of antibiotics may alter the ratio of the microbes in the gut, leading to inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood sugar imbalances.

Dr. Ruth K. Dudek-Wicher, the lead scientists wrote, "Gut microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) has been linked to important human diseases and inflammation-related disorders".

And, "...the impact of different antibiotics causing such long-term consequences as decreased microbial diversity, modulation of the Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, Clostridium difficile overgrowth, and increased expansion of the opportunistic pathogens Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia spp., and Klebsiella spp.".


More precisely, imbalanced gut community microbes ratio can induce certain health problems including
* Decreasing the interaction with the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

* Increasing the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.


* Reducing nutrient extraction from the diet, thus increasing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

* Failure to control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels that can lead to bad neurobehaviors.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a natural compound for the improvement of bacterial composition in the gut, researchers
examined the effects of curcumin in the gut microbiota in dysbiosis, a condition that links to many metabolic diseases.

According to the tested assays, curcumin and its derivatives exerted direct regulative effects on the gut microbiota by increasing the ratio of bacteria composition in the flavor of good bacterias.

Futhermore, in the testing the turmeric tablets in the gut microbiota determined by 16S rDNA sequencing, researchers divided.14 healthy human subjects into 3 groups with extract of piperine (Bioperine) (n = 6), curcumin with Bioperine tablets (n = 5), or placebo tablets (n = 3).

According to the bacterial analysis, turmeric-treated subjects displayed a modest 7% increase in observed species compared to control with an overall reduction in species by 15%.

Moreover, curcumin displayed an average increase of 69% in detected species, depending on the gut microbiota response to individual subjects.

More precisely, in "responsive" subjects curcumin increased in most Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp., Citrobacter spp., Cronobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Parabacteroides spp., and Pseudomonas spp. and reduced relative abundance of several Blautia spp. and most Ruminococcus spp.


In other words, curcumin improved the ratio of gut microbiota by stimulating the production of "good bacteria and reducing the levels of "bad" bacterias in the colon.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "All participants' microbiota displayed significant variation over time and individualized response to treatment. Among the responsive participants, both turmeric and curcumin altered the gut microbiota in a highly similar manner".

Taken altogether, turmeric may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of imbalanced ratio of gut microbiome composition, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
