The triterpenoids of Hibiscus syriacus induce apoptosis and inhibit cell migration in breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Breast cancer-related mortality increases annually. The efficacy of current breast cancer treatments is limited, and they have numerous side effects and permit high recurrence. Patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-negative or triple-negative breast cancer are particularly difficult to

Betulin induces mitochondrial cytochrome c release associated apoptosis in human cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined whether betulin, a naturally abundant compound, has anticancer functions in human cancer cells. The results showed that betulin significantly inhibited cell viability in cervix carcinoma HeLa cells, hepatoma HepG2 cells, lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, and breast cancer MCF-7 cells with

Wood-derived estrogens: studies in vitro with breast cancer cell lines and in vivo in trout.

Only registered users can translate articles

The wood-derived compound, beta-sitosterol (purity > 90%), was shown to be estrogenic in fish. It induced the expression of the vitellogenin gene in the liver of juvenile and methyltestosterone-treated rainbow trout. Structural similarities to beta-sitosterol notwithstanding, cholesterol,

Synthesis, structure and cytotoxic activity of new acetylenic derivatives of betulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

A new series of betulin derivatives containing one or two pharmacophores bearing an acetylenic and carbonyl function at the C-3 and/or C-28 positions has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, IR, MS and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of 28-O-propynoylbetulin was

Betulin Phosphonates; Synthesis, Structure, and Cytotoxic Activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulin derivatives are a widely studied group of compounds of natural origin due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. This paper describes new betulin derivatives, containing a phosphonate group. The allyl-vinyl isomerization and synthesis of acetylenic derivatives have been reported.

New acetylenic derivatives of betulin and betulone, synthesis and cytotoxic activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulin 1 and its semisynthetic derivatives exhibit a cytotoxic activity toward various cancer cell lines. These compounds are a promising and potential anticancer candidates. A series of betulin derivatives was prepared and tested for the antiproliferative activity in vitro against T47D breast

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of betulin-3-yl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-glycopyranosides.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulin is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, possessing a lupane-structure, with a wide range of pharmacological activities. Its weak hydrosolubility hinders the biological activity of the compound and its derivatives. To circumvent this problem, we synthesized and tested in vitro three

Effective Method of Purification of Betulin from Birch Bark: The Importance of Its Purity for Scientific and Medicinal Use.

Only registered users can translate articles

A new and relatively simple method for purification of betulin from birch bark extract was developed in this study. Its five purification steps are based on the differential solubility of extract components in various solvents and their crystallization and/or precipitation, on their affinity for

Design, Synthesis, and Cancer Cell Growth Inhibitory Activity of Triphenylphosphonium Derivatives of the Triterpenoid Betulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of new triphenylphosphonium (TPP) derivatives of the triterpenoid betulin (1, 3-lup-20(29)-ene-3β,28-diol) have been synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic effects against human breast cancer (MCF-7), prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3), vinblastine-resistant human breast cancer (MCF-7/Vinb),

Fomes fomentarius Ethanol Extract Exerts Inhibition of Cell Growth and Motility Induction of Apoptosis via Targeting AKT in Human Breast Cancer MDA-MB-231 Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fomes fomentarius, an edible mushroom, is known to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetes effects. However, the underlying anti-cancer mechanism of F. fomentarius is unknown. To determine the molecular mechanism of the anti-cancer effects of F. fomentarius,

Synthesis and biological investigation of new carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this report, we describe the synthesis, characterization, in vitro anticancer activity and Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) inhibition of new sulfamate conjugates of Betulin and Betulinic acid (BA). The betulinyl sulfamates were subjected to inhibit carbonic anhydrases (CA), e.g. CAIX, an attractive

Antiproliferative terpenoids from almond hulls (Prunus dulcis): identification and structure-activity relationships.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the EtOAc crude extract from Sicilian almond hulls, a waste material from Prunus dulcis crop, allowed identification of 10 constituents, isolated as pure compounds (1-5, 7, and 10) or unseparable mixtures (5 + 6 and 8 + 9). All compounds were subjected to

Isolation, Characterization and Anticancer Potential of Cytotoxic Triterpenes from Betula utilis Bark.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betula utilis, also known as Himalayan silver birch has been used as a traditional medicine for many health ailments like inflammatation, HIV, renal and bladder disorders as well as many cancers from ages. Here, we performed bio-guided fractionation of Betula utilis Bark (BUB), in which it was

[Synthesis and cytotoxicity of triterpenoid seven members cyclic amines].

Only registered users can translate articles

Synthesis of 3-deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza-derivatives of betulin and erythrodiol from betulonic and oleanonic acids was carried out. The most antineoplastic activity with a wide range of action at in vitro testing showed 3-deoxy-3a-homo-3a-aza-28-hydroxy-12(13)-oleanene, which by results of profound

Lup-20(29)-en-3β,28-di-yl-nitrooxy acetate affects MCF-7 proliferation through the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy in mitochondria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Betulin (BT), a pentacyclic lupine-type triterpenoid natural product, possesses antitumor activity in various types of cancers. However, its clinical development was discouraged due to its low biological activities and poor solubility. We prepared lup-20(29)-en-3β,28-di-yl-nitrooxy acetate (NBT), a
