Abstract:
The present invention describes a novel bivalent helically constrained peptide targeted against S100B that is an effective anti-cancer drug against cancers that over-express S100B. This helix mimetic targeted against S100B induces rapid apoptosis in cancer cells that over-express a calcium binding protein S100B through simultaneous inhibition of key growth pathways including activation of p53.

Abstract:
A method of treating CD33+ acute and chronic myeloid leukemia in animals including humans, using fraction nos. 1 and 9 obtained from water:methanol fraction by column chromatography, with ratio of water and methanol ranging between 1:5 to 5:1, wherein said water:methanol fraction is obtained from the polar extract of Piper betel by HPLC, with retention time of 3.6 and 24.0 minutes respectively, with said fractions used both individually, and in combination.
Abstract:
This invention relates to use of betel leaf extract to induce IFNγ from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and as a Th1 type immuno modulator, wherein the said method comprises the steps of, preparing water extract of betel leaf, preparation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, incubation of hPBMC with betel leaf extract for a period of 18–48 hours, extraction of RNA for cytokine specific RT-PCR or for flow cytometry for the detection of intracellular cytokine protein, subjecting RNA for RT-PCR to obtain PCR products using IFNγ specific known primers, and enhancement of IFNγ as reflected by IFNγ specific band.
