    Flavonoids as Chemosensitizers in Leukemias
    (2025) Huseynova, N.; Çetinkaya, M.; Baran, Z.; Khalilov, R.; Mammadova, A.; Baran, Y.
    Flavonoids, a diverse group of natural compounds abundant in plants, fruits, and seeds, are not only responsible for the vibrant colors, fragrances, and flavors found in nature but also possess significant health benefits. Representing a secondary metabolite, these phytonutrients contribute to overall well-being. They have garnered considerable interest due to their diverse biological roles, encompassing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Flavonoids exert anticancer properties by interfering with different signaling pathways and molecules. Also, they have been demonstrated to exert chemosensitization features, where flavonoids may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy, and hold promise for improving cancer treatment outcomes as they have been discovered to make cancer cells more responsive to treatment. Understanding their influence on the regulation of cellular signaling provides a foundation for exploring their potential in combination with different chemotherapy agents and their possible single use for cancer treatment. Besides, they are believed to present a cost-effective approach to cancer therapeutics with possible implications for reducing the side effects of the current chemotherapy regimens, which can be a great therapeutic strategy for treating cancer types, including leukemia. This chapter explores potential approaches for creating anticancer treatments, focusing on leukemia, through integrating flavonoid nutraceuticals with traditional chemotherapy agents. © 2024.

    Therapeutic Potential of Luteolin on Cancer
    (MDPI, 2023) Çetinkaya, Melisa; Baran, Yusuf
    Cancer is a global concern, as the rate of incidence is increasing each year. The challenges related to the current chemotherapy drugs, such as the concerns related to toxicity, turn to cancer therapeutic research to discover alternative therapy strategies that are less toxic to normal cells. Among those studies, the use of flavonoids-natural compounds produced by plants as secondary metabolites for cancer therapy-has been a hot topic in cancer treatment. Luteolin, a flavonoid that has been present in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs, has been identified to exhibit numerous biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer properties. The anticancer property of Luteolin has been extensively researched in many cancer types and has been related to its ability to inhibit tumor growth by targeting cellular processes such as apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration, and cell cycle progression. It achieves this by interacting with various signaling pathways and proteins. In the current review, the molecular targets of Luteolin as it exerts its anticancer properties, the combination therapy that includes Luteolin with other flavonoids or chemotherapeutic drugs, and the nanodelivery strategies for Luteolin are described for several cancer types.
