The main pharmacological constituents of Chinese traditional medicine herb Cnidium monnieri are coumarin compounds and volatile oil. In addition, it contains monoterpene polyols, glucides, as well as recently discovered sesquiterpene components. In recent years, rather active investigations of its
The anti cancer properties and underlying cell death mechanisms induced by an extract of the roots of Cnidium officinale Makino (COM) were investigated. An ethanolic extract of COM inhibited proliferation of human colon cancer cells (HT-29) with both dose- and time-dependence. Analysis of the cell
In a series of studies on the search for new antitumor and antimetastatic substances from the natural medicinal plants of the Umbelliferae family, we previously reported that chalcone derivatives isolated from Angelica keisekei roots have antitumor and antimetastatic activities. In the present
Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson is a Chinese medicine which is used widely by traditional medicine doctors. Osthol is a major bio-activity compound of the herb. In this study, osthol was isolated from C. monnieri and its in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects studied. The results of the in vitro study
BACKGROUND
Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine to treat gynecological disease in some countries. Osthole, an active O-methylated coumadin isolated from Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson, has been shown to induce various beneficial biochemical effects such as
Nature has always proved to be a significant reservoir of bioactive scaffolds which have been used for the discovery of drugs since times. Medicinal plants continue to be a solid niche for biologically active and therapeutically effective chemical entities, opening up new avenues for the successful
We examined the effects on cell proliferation of 10 methoxyfurocoumarins and 7 dihydrofurocumarins isolated from Umbelliferae medicinal plants, and their mechanisms of action against B16F10 melanoma cells or in melanin-possessing hairless mice implanted with B16F10 melanoma cells, under UVA
Osthole, an ingredient of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from natural product Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson, was used as a lead compound for structural modification. A series of osthole derivatives bearing aryl substituents at 3-position of coumarin, has been prepared and evaluated for their
Angiogenesis occurs during tissue growth, development and wound healing. It is also required for tumor progression and represents a rational target for therapeutic intervention. NBM-T-BMX-OS01 (BMX), derived from the semisynthesis of osthole, an active ingredient isolated from Chinese herb Cnidium
Osthole, 7-methoxy-8-[3-methylpent-2-enyl]coumarin (1), was extracted from a Chinese herb Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss. It showed immunity strengthening, anti-tumor, anti-hepatitis, and anti-osteoporosis activities in previous studies. Our goals are to study the effects of 1 on cell proliferation and
Recent studies have revealed that osthole, an active constituent isolated from the fruit of Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson, a traditional Chinese medicine, possesses anticancer activity. However, its effect on breast cancer cells so far has not been elucidated clearly. In the present study, we
Osthole is extracted from the Chinese herbs Cnidium monnieri and Angelica pubescens, and it was found to have antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. A series of osthole derivatives have been synthesized, and the N-hydroxycinnamide derivatives of osthole, WJ1376-1 and WJ1398-1 were found to have
BACKGROUND
Alcohol is a major cause of fatty liver, the disease is a spectrum that is initiated with steatosis, and without therapy it is apt to develop inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and finally cirrhosis. There are currently no ideal pharmacological reagents that can prevent or reverse this
Osthole, a natural compound, may be extracted from Cnidium monnieri and other medicinal plants. Previous studies have shown that osthole has anticancer effects in various human cancer cell lines. There is, however, no available information concerning the effects of osthole on the migration and
Cnidium officinale Makino and Capsella bursa-pastoris are used as traditional herbs with diverse medicinal effects, including the inhibition of inflammation, reduction of blood pressure and as diuretics, however, the anti-cancer effects of C. officinale Makino and C. bursa-pastoris are poorly
