Antitumor effects of helenalin in doxorubicin-resistant leukemia cells are mediated via mitochondrial mediated apoptosis, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibition of cell migration and invasion and downregulation of PI3-kinase/AKT/m-TOR signalling pathway.

The main purpose of the current study was to investigate the antitumor effects of helenalin - a plant derived sesquiterpene lactone, against doxorubicin-resistant acute myeloid leukemia HL60 cells, along with evaluating its effects on apoptosis induction, mitochondrial membrane

Induction of human leukemia HL-60 cell differentiation via a PKC/ERK pathway by helenalin, a pseudoguainolide sesquiterpene lactone.

Only registered users can translate articles

Helenalin, a cell-permeable pseudoguainolide sesquiterpene lactone, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) DNA binding activity. In this report, we investigated the effect of helenalin on cellular differentiation in the human promyelocytic leukemia

Antitumor agents 68: effects of a series of helenalin derivatives on P-388 lymphocytic leukemia nucleic acid and protein synthesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of analogues related to helenalin demonstrated moderate capability for inhibiting the growth of murine P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells in vivo and in vitro. The growth inhibition correlated with suppression of both DNA and protein synthesis in P-388 cells. The inhibition of protein

Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis in P-388 lymphocytic leukemia tumor cells by helenalin and bis(helenalinyl)malonate in vivo.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although the parent sesquiterpene lactone, helenalin, and its derivative, bis(helenalinyl)malonate, are structurally related chemically, they demonstrate differences in their antineoplastic activity, with bis(helenalinyl)malonate being much more active against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cell growth

Investigation of sesquiterpene lactones as protein synthesis inhibitors of P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mode of action of helenalin and bis(helenalinyl) malonate as protein synthesis inhibitors of P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells was investigated. The initial characterizations were carried out in crude lysates of the P-388 cells. In the lysate, there was a 4 min lag after the addition of drug

Cytotoxic sesquiterpene lactones mediate their death-inducing effect in leukemia T cells by triggering apoptosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cytotoxicity is a well characterized property of sesquiterpene lactones. In the present study, the question was addressed whether sesquiterpene lactones mediate their cytotoxic effect by triggering apoptosis. Four compounds, ambrosin, alantolactone, hymenin and helenalin were shown to induce

Cytotoxic Activity of Extracts from Plants of Central Argentina on Sensitive and Multidrug-Resistant Leukemia Cells: Isolation of an Active Principle from Gaillardia megapotamica.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plants are a significant reservoir of cytotoxic agents, including compounds with the ability to interfere with multidrug-resistant (MDR) cells. With the aim of finding promising candidates for chemotherapy, 91 native and naturalized plants collected from the central region of Argentina were screened

Antitumor agents 32. Synthesis and antitumor activity of cyclopentenone derivatives related to helenalin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several new cyclopentenones related to helenalin have been synthesized as potential alkylating antitumor agents. The procedure involved the transformation of 2-methyl-2-carbethoxycyclopentanone (2) to an ethylene ketal 3, bromination of 3 followed by dehydrobromination to yield a ketal olefin 5,

The cytotoxicity of helenalin, its mono and difunctional esters, and related sesquiterpene lactones in murine and human tumor cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactones and their semisynthetic derivatives, such as the O = C-C = CH-bearing helenalin and its esters, have been shown to demonstrate potent cytotoxicity against the growth of murine L1210 lymphoid leukemia and human Tmolt3 leukemia, colon adenocarcinoma, HeLaS3,

Differential enhancement of leukaemia cell differentiation without elevation of intracellular calcium by plant-derived sesquiterpene lactone compounds.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces complete remission in a majority of acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients, but resistance of leukaemic cells to ATRA and its toxicity, such as hypercalcaemia, lead to a limitation of treatment. Therefore, combination therapies with

Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis in P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells in culture by sesquiterpene lactones.

Only registered users can translate articles

Helenalin and bis (helenalinyl) malonate, sesquiterpene lactones, were shown to be cytotoxic against the growth of P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells in culture. DNA and protein synthesis were reduced by these agents preferentially, with RNA synthesis being affected only marginally. This study focused

Antitumor agents XXIII: Helenalin, and antitumor principle from Anaphalis morrisonicola HAY.

Only registered users can translate articles

A chloroform extract of the whole plant of Anaphalis morrisonicola HAY, showed significant antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, and P-388 lymphocytic leukemia. Systematic fractionation of the extract led to isolation and characterization of helenalin, a

Role of thiol agents in protecting against the toxicity of helenalin in tumor-bearing mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Helanalin, a sesquiterpene lactone antineoplastic agent, is toxic at therapeutic doses in murine tumors. The toxicity has been assumed to be correlated with the binding of the drug to cellular thiol groups. Studies were undertaken to increase the intracellular level of GSH in the liver, kidney and

Helenalin triggers a CD95 death receptor-independent apoptosis that is not affected by overexpression of Bcl-x(L) or Bcl-2.

Only registered users can translate articles

Apoptosis is required for proper tissue homeostasis. Defects in apoptosis signaling pathways, thus, contribute to carcinogenesis and chemoresistance. A major goal in chemotherapy is, therefore, to find cytotoxic agents that restore the ability of tumor cells to undergo apoptosis. We show here that

Antitumor agents XLII: Comparison of antileukemic activity of helenalin, brusatol, and bruceantin and their esters on different strains of P-388 lymphocytic leukemic cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Based on the fact that some known antineoplastic agents possess an ester moiety within their structure, the esters of helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone, and of brusatol and bruceantin, quassinoids, were synthesized and tested for antileukemic activity in the P-388 screen. These agents gave
