Molecular mechanisms of antiproliferative effects induced by Schisandra-derived dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (+)-deoxyschisandrin and (-)-gomisin N in human tumour cell lines.

A different behavior of the two dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (+)-deoxyschisandrin (1) and (-)-gomisin N (2), from Schisandra chinensis fruits, was observed against two human tumour cell lines, (2008 and LoVo). These lignans inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner on both cell lines, but

Lignan enriched fraction (LRF) of Phyllanthus amarus promotes apoptotic cell death in human cervical cancer cells in vitro.

Phyllanthus amarus is widely grown in this sub-continent and used traditionally to treat many common ailments. In the present study, lignan rich fraction of P. amarus extract was used on cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, SiHa and C33A) to study it's mechanism of cell death induction. As the cells

Potent cytotoxic lignans from Justicia procumbens and their effects on nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in mouse macrophages.

A new lignan glycoside, 4-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1' "-->2' ')-beta-D-apiofuranosyldiphyllin (2), named procumbenoside A, and 11 known compounds were isolated from the whole plant of Justicia procumbens. The structure of 2 was established by spectral analysis and chemical methods. The known

Effect of justicidin B - a potent cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic arylnaphtalene lignan on human breast cancer-derived cell lines.

Log In/Sign up
Justicidin B produced by genetically transformed cultures of Linum leonii was tested for cytotoxic activity and induction of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer derived cell lines. The tested lignan evoked strong, concentration dependent cytotoxicity in both cell lines, whereby MCF-7

Role of dietary lignans in the reduction of breast cancer risk.

Lignans are a large group of fiber-associated phenolic compounds widely distributed in edible plants. Some of the ingested plant lignans are converted by intestinal microbiota to enterolignans, enterodiol (END) and enterolactone (ENL), the latter of which has been thought to be the major

Flaxseed Lignans Enhance the Cytotoxicity of Chemotherapeutic Agents against Breast Cancer Cell Lines MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3.

Systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the mainstay of metastatic breast cancer; however, prognosis and overall survival is unfavorable due to inadequate treatment response and/or unacceptable toxicity. Natural compounds and their active metabolites receive increasing attention as possible adjuvant

Inhibition of phospholipase Cgamma1 and cancer cell proliferation by lignans and flavans from Machilus thunbergii.

Log In/Sign up
Thirteen compounds were isolated from the CH2Cl2 fraction of Machilus thunbergii as phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) inhibitors. These compounds were identified as nine lignans, two neolignans, and two flavans by spectroscopic analysis. Of these, 5,7-di-O-methyl-3',4'-methylenated (-)-epicatechin

Induction of apoptosis by a synergistic lignan composition from Cedrus deodara in human cancer cells.

Log In/Sign up
AP9-cd, a synergistic lignan mixture from Cedrus deodara (Pinaceae) consisting of (-)-wikstromal, (-)-matairesinol and dibenzyl butyrolactol, depicted cytotoxic effects against numerous human cancer cell lines reported previously. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of cell death

Regulation of c-fos transcription by chemopreventive isoflavonoids and lignans in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells.

Isoflavonoids and lignans are diet constituents with chemopreventive properties. We compared the ability of the isoflavonoids genistein and equol, the lignans enterodiol, enterolactone and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and the lignan metabolite methyl p-hydroxyphenyllactate to interfere with

Consumption of flaxseed, a rich source of lignans, is associated with reduced breast cancer risk.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between intake of flaxseed-the richest source of dietary lignans (a class of phytoestrogens)-and breast cancer risk. METHODS A food frequency questionnaire was used to measure the consumption of flaxseed and flax bread by 2,999 women with breast cancer and

CYP17 genotype modifies the association between lignan supply and premenopausal breast cancer risk in humans.

Cytochrome P450c17alpha (CYP17) has been associated with alterations in steroid hormone levels and premenopausal breast cancer risk and could modify the association between phytoestrogen intake and breast cancer risk. We examined plasma concentrations of enterolactone and genistein, estimated

Can the combination of flaxseed and its lignans with soy and its isoflavones reduce the growth stimulatory effect of soy and its isoflavones on established breast cancer?

Consumption of phytoestrogen (PE)-rich foods (i. e., soy and flaxseed (FS)) is increasing because of their suggested health benefits. However, recent studies raise concern over the safety of soy and its isoflavones, particularly genistein (GEN), for postmenopausal breast cancer (BC), due to their

Inhibitory effect of lignans from the rhizomes of Coptis japonica var. dissecta on tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.

The inhibitory effect of 10 lignan constituents isolated from the rhizomes of Coptis japonica var. dissecta on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells) has been studied. Among them, pinoresinol, woorenoside-V and
