Ivalin, an eudesmane-type sesquiterpene compound, was isolated from the Chinese herb Carpesium divaricatum in our chemistry group. In this study, we investigated the anti-migration and anti-invasion activities and underlying mechanisms of Ivalin in breast cancer cells in vitro. Cell viability was
Breast cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in women when it reaches the metastatic stage. The plant Carpesium cernuum has been used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and detoxifying agent in Chinese folk medicine. However, the inhibitory activity and molecular mechanisms of
Carpesium abrotanoides L. (CA) is widely used as a medicinal plant in Asia. The biological activities of the extract from the roots of Carpesium abrotanoides L. (PCA) and its major components were analyzed in this study. PCA was separated and identified with mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we sought
The antitumor activity of CLE-10 (4-epi-isoinuviscolide), a sesquiterpene lactone compound, isolated from Carpesium abrotanoides L. has rarely been reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the antitumor activity of CLE-10 and give a greater explanation
In the course of searching for cytotoxic terpenoids from medicinal plants in China, two new eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, 5α-hydroxy-13-methoxy-7αH,11αH-eudesm-4(15)-en-12,8β-lactone (1) and 1β-hydroxy-7αH,11αH-eudesm-4(15)-en-12,8β-lactone (2), along with fourteen known sesquiterpenoids were isolated
Four new (1-4) and 13 known (5-17) sesquiterpene lactones along with two known diterpenes (18, 19) were isolated from the whole plant of Carpesium faberi. The new structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic techniques and some chemical transformations to be
