Nimbolide / PI3K Cancer Research Results

Nimb, Nimbolide: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Nimbolide is a compound found in the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. It is a type of limonoid, a class of compounds that are commonly found in citrus fruits and other plants.

Research has shown that nimbolide has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on various types of cancer cells, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer cells. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Some of the ways in which nimbolide may help to prevent or treat cancer include:
-Inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in cancer cell growth and survival
-Inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cancer cells
-Inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that are needed to support the growth of cancer cells
-Enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
PI3K, Phosphatidylinositide-3-Kinases: Click to Expand ⟱

Type:
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns3K or PI3K) is a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in cell signaling pathways, particularly in the regulation of cell growth, survival, and metabolism. The PI3K pathway is one of the most frequently altered pathways in human cancer. Inhibition of the PI3K pathway has been explored as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Several PI3K inhibitors have been developed and are currently being tested in clinical trials. These inhibitors can target specific components of the pathway, such as PI3K, AKT, or mTOR.

Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)
Class III PtdIns3K
In contrast to the class III PtdIns3K as a positive regulator of autophagy, class I PI3K-AKT signaling has an opposing effect on the initiation of autophagy.

PI3K inhibitors include:
-Idelalisib , Copanlisib, Alpelisib
-LY294002?
-Wortmannin: potent PI3K inhibitor, has some associated toxicity.
-Quercetin:
-Curcumin
-Resveratrol
-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)
