Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Birkholtz, Lyn-Marie; Joubert, Annie M. (BioMed Central, 2015-04-22)INTRODUCTION : Research involving antimitotic compounds identified 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2), as a promising anticancer endogenous metabolite. Owing to its low bioavailability, several in silico-designed 2ME2 analogues ...
-
Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Joubert, Annie M. (Springer, 2011-11)In anticancer research where the focus is on finding agents that induces cell death while leaving nontumorigenic cells less affected, a novel 2-methoxyestradiol derivative has come forth. 2-Methoxyestradiol-bis-sulfam ...

Janse van Vuuren, Rustelle; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Theron, Anne Elisabeth; Joubert, Annie M. (SpringerOpen, 2015-12)Cancer is a complex disease since it is adaptive in such a way that it can promote proliferation and invasion by means of an overactive cell cycle and in turn cellular division which is targeted by antimitotic drugs that ...

Gomes, D.A.; Joubert, Anna Margaret; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen) (MDPI, 2022-10-26)Papaverine (PPV), a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, extracted from the Papaverine somniferum plant, is currently in clinical use as a vasodilator. Research has shown that PPV inhibits phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A,) resulting ...
-
Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Van den Bout, Jan Iman; Joubert, Annie M. (Public Library of Science, 2017-04-14)Clinical trials have revealed that the potential anticancer agent, 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) has limitations due to its low bioavailability. Subsequently, 2ME2 derivatives including (8R, 13S,14S,17S)-2-ethyl-13-methyl- ...

Verwey, M.; Joubert, Annie M.; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Annie M.; Theron, A.E. (Biomedical Research Press, 2016)Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide, contributing to 14% of all new cancer cases and 6.8% of all cancer deaths in 2014. A new area of cancer research has arisen from the discovery of cancer ...

Reva, Oleg N.; Rademan, Sunelle; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Lebelo, M.T. (Maphuti); Gwangwa, Mokgadi Violet; Klochko, Vitalii V.; Joubert, Anna Margaretha; Lall, Namrita (Future Science, 2019)AIM : To determine the computer-predicted anticancer activity of mupirocin and to compare its activities with those determined for another polyene antibiotic, batumin. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Molecular docking, cytotoxicity ...
-
Gwangwa, Mokgadi Violet; Joubert, Anna Margaretha; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen) (BioMed Central, 2018-05-04)Tumourigenic tissue uses modified metabolic signalling pathways in order to support hyperproliferation and survival. Cancer-associated aerobic glycolysis resulting in lactic acid production was described nearly 100 years ...
-
Mqoco, T.V. (Thandi Vuyelwa); Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Albrecht, C.; Joubert, Annie M. (Elsevier, 2014-01)Sutherlandia frutescens (SF) is a traditional Africanmedicinal aid employed for the treatment of various ailments such as inflammation, pulmonary asthma and congestion. The present study was conducted to demonstrate ...
-
Gwangwa, Mokgadi Violet; Joubert, Anna Margaretha; Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen) (BioMed Central, 2019-03-27)BACKGROUND : Tumourigenic cells modify metabolic pathways in order to facilitate increased proliferation and cell survival resulting in glucose- and glutamine addiction. Previous research indicated that glutamine deprivation ...
-
Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Jaiswal, Seema Rummurat; Joubert, Annie M. (BioMed Central, 2016-11-02)BACKGROUND : Computer-based technology is becoming increasingly essential in biological research where drug discovery programs start with the identification of suitable drug targets. 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is a ...
-
Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Joubert, Annie M. (Springer, 2010-12)2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) exerts estrogen receptor independent antiproliferative, antiangiogenic and antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. Due low bioavailability and fast metabolic degradation, several analogues have ...
-
Visagie, M.H. (Michelle Helen); Joubert, Annie M. (Suid Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap & Kuns, 2012)This study indicates that 2-methoxyestradiol-bissulphamate induces both apoptosis and autophagy and contributes to the unraveling of the action mechanism of 2-methoxyestradiol-bis-sulphamate.
