Other cancers Breast cancer, Colon cancer
Target gene or protein BAX, Bcl-2, Caspase 3, PARP, ERK
Gene or Protein evidence he increase in apoptosis in response to treatment was also apparent in the increase in BAX and the decrease in Bcl-2 levels as well as the proteolytic cleavage of both caspase-3 and PARP as revealed by Western blot. Furthermore, treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with either fraction significantly reduced the level of phosphorylated Erk but did not show any effect on phosphorylated Akt.
Target pathways Erk pathway
IC50 The IC50 values for DPPH and FIC assays were 2.1 ± 0.03 mg/ml and 0.43 ± 0.02 mg/ml, respectively.
Potency The present study established that DCOE possesses both antioxidant and promising anticancer activities.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HT-29, Caco-2
