Synthesis of 26-hydroxy-22-oxocholestanic frameworks from diosgenin and hecogenin and their in vitro antiproliferative and apoptotic activity on human cervical cancer CaSki cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Certain steroidal compounds have demonstrated an antiproliferative effect against several tumor cell lines; however, their complete role on cancer cells is not currently established. Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of two new 26-hydroxy-22-oxocholestanic steroids on cervical cancer

Hecogenin acetate inhibits reactive oxygen species production and induces cell cycle arrest and senescence in the A549 human lung cancer cell line.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cellular and molecular mechanisms related to lung cancer have been extensively studied in recent years, but the availability of effective treatments is still scarce. Hecogenin acetate, a natural saponin presenting a wide spectrum of reported pharmacological activities, has been previously evaluated

Rationally designed hecogenin thiosemicarbazone analogs as novel MEK inhibitors for the control of breast malignancies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Natural products have documented oncology success history as valuable scaffolds for selective target modulation. Herein, the sapogenin hecogenin (1) was screened for its anti-breast cancer inhibitory capacity using in vitro assays, including proliferation, cytotoxicity, migration, invasion assays,

Synthesis of the steroidal glycoside (25R)-3β,16β-diacetoxy-12,22-dioxo-5α-cholestan-26-yl β-D-glucopyranoside and its anti-cancer properties on cervicouterine HeLa, CaSki, and ViBo cells.

The synthesis of the new glycoside (25R)-3β,16β-diacetoxy-12,22-dioxo-5α-cholestan-26-yl β-D-glucopyranoside starting from hecogenin is described. This compound showed anti-cancer activity against cervicouterine cancer cells HeLa, CaSki and ViBo in the micromolar range. Its effect on cell

Anti-inflammatory potential of hecogenin on atopic dermatitis and airway hyper-responsiveness by regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Objective: Hecogenin is a sapogenin found in Agave sisalana species that is used extensively for the treatment of anti-inflammatory, antifungal, hypotensive, anti-nociceptive activity and cancer. We have studied the anti-inflammatory effect of Hecogenin and its combination with Fluticasone on

Steroidal saponins from the underground parts of Chlorophytum comosum and their inhibitory activity on tumour promoter-induced phospholipids metabolism of HeLa cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three new spirostanol pentaglycosides embracing beta-D-apiofuranose were isolated from the fresh underground parts of Chlorophytum comosum together with four known saponins. The structures of new compounds were determined by spectroscopic data, including two-dimensional NMR, and partial

Fast Centrifugal Partition Chromatography Fractionation of Concentrated Agave (Agave salmiana) Sap to Obtain Saponins with Apoptotic Effect on Colon Cancer Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Separation of potentially bioactive components from foods and plant extracts is one of the main challenges for their study. Centrifugal partition chromatography has been a successful technique for the screening and identification of molecules with bioactive potential, such as steroidal saponins.

Glucuronidation of Abiraterone and its Pharmacologically Active Metabolites by UGT1A4, Influence of Polymorphic Variants and their Potential as Inhibitors of Steroid Glucuronidation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Abiraterone acetate (AA) is a prodrug of abiraterone (Abi), a CYP17A1 inhibitor used to treat patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Abi is a selective steroidal inhibitor that blocks the biosynthesis of androgens. It undergoes extensive biotransformation by steroid pathways leading to the

New selenosteroids as antiproliferative agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Starting from natural steroids (diosgenin, hecogenin, smilagenin, estrone), we have prepared a wide panel of selenoderivatives, including benzoselenazolones, selenosemicarbazones, isoselenocyanates, selenoureas, selenocyanates and diselenides, with the aim of developing new families of potential

4-Aminobiphenyl N-glucuronidation by liver microsomes: optimization of the reaction conditions and characterization of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms.

Only registered users can translate articles

4-Aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) is an arylamine that has long been associated with human and animal urinary bladder cancer. N-glucuronidation is an important metabolic pathway that contributes significantly to 4-ABP-bladder carcinogenesis by facilitating transport of the active metabolites from the liver to

Synthesis and selective anticancer activity of steroidal glycoconjugates.

Only registered users can translate articles

The synthesis of glucosamine derivatives of the steroidal sapogenins diosgenin and hecogenin using the N-phthaloyl protected trichloroacetimidate of d-glucosamine as donor and TMSOTf as promoter is reported. The corresponding glycoconjugates were transformed into their acetamido derivatives and the

Probing the selective antitumor activity of 22-oxo-26-selenocyanocholestane derivatives.

Only registered users can translate articles

Diverse steroidal compounds have shown antiproliferative activity on certain tumor cell lines; however, their complete role on cancer cells has not been extensively established since the research is quite recent. Hence, deeper study in this field is required. Due to the importance of selenium in

Synthesis of cytotoxic novel 9,11-secosterol analogs: Structure/activity studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

In an effort to determine the pharmaceutical utility and the structural requirements for activity against tumor cell lines, 30 novel 9,11-secosterol analogues with different side chains and degrees of oxidation at C-9 were synthesized starting from hecogenin. Evaluation of the synthesized compounds
