eff↑, elatonin was found to exaggerate the cancer inhibiting actions of pitavastatin270 and pravastatin271 against breast cancer in experimental studies
*PKCδ?, major targets by which melatonin reduces methamphetamine-related neuronal damage is due to the inhibition of the PKCδ gene
ChemoSen↑, at least some cases melatonin reduces the toxicity of these pharmacological agents in normal cells256, 289, 290 while enhancing the cancer-killing actions (also, see below) of conventional chemotherapeutic agents.256, 291-293
eff↑, TRAIL was combined with melatonin for the treatment of A172 and U87 human glioblastoma cells, however, apoptotic cell death was greatly exaggerated over that caused by TRAIL alone
Akt↓, in GBM: observed effect was related to a modulation of protein kinase c which reduced Akt activation resulting in a rise in death receptor 5 (DR5) levels;
DR5↑,
selectivity↑, The pro-oxidant action of melatonin is common in cancer cells while in normal cells the indoleamine is a powerful antioxidant.
ROS↑, cancer cells
eff↑, human lung adenocarcinoma cells (SK-LV-1) showed that melatonin also increased their sensitivity to the chemotherapy, cisplatin.

3844- Moringa,    Review of the Safety and Efficacy of Moringa oleifera
- Review, NA, NA

*RenoP↑,
*hepatoP↑,
*radioP↑, Two studies have shown that extracts of M. oleifera can provide radioprotection in mice.
*eff↑, leaves are widely used as a basic food because of their high nutrition content
*toxicity↓, authors concluded that consumption of M. oleifera leaves at doses of up to 2000 mg/kg were safe.
*ROS↓, Chumark et al. (2008) demonstrated the free radical scavenging ability of an aqueous extract of M. oleifera leaves in several in vitro systems, and also showed that the extract inhibited lipid peroxidation in both in vitro and ex vivo systems.
*lipid-P↓,
*DNAdam↓, inhibit oxidative damage to DNA
*Catalase↑, increased the antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase while decreasing lipid peroxidases
*SOD↑,
*GPx↑, increases in the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione S‐transferase (Sreelatha and Padma, 2010).
*GSR↑,
*GSTs↑,
*AST↓, M. oleifera leaves protects against liver damage as demonstrated by reductions in tissue histopathology and serum activities of marker enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
*ALAT↓,
*ALP↓,
*Bil↓, extract decreased drug‐induced levels of AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin
