Structural characterization and in vitro antitumor activity of a novel polysaccharide from Taxus yunnanensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The shrub, Taxus yunnanensis is famed as the source of the important anticancer drug, paclitaxel. But research on its polysaccharides contents has been scarce. The present research aimed to investigate the polysaccharide content of T. yunnanensis leaves and study the antitumor activities of isolated

Absolute configuration and anticancer activity of taxiresinol and related lignans of Taxus wallichiana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Absolute configuration of taxiresinol 1, a lignan from the heartwood of Taxus wallichiana has been determined as 8R, 8'R, and 7'R with the help of chemical correlation method and X-ray crystallography. The anticancer activity of taxiresinol 1 and other two lignans 2, 3 were also studied. Taxiresinol

Anticancer activity and molecular mechanisms of α-conidendrin, a polyphenolic compound present in Taxus yunnanensis, on human breast cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

α-Conidendrin is a polyphenolic compound found mainly in Taxus yunnanensis, as the source of chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, which has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity and molecular mechanisms of α-conidendrin on breast

Synthesis and separation of potential anticancer active dihalocephalomannine diastereomers from extracts of Taxus yunnanensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two diastereomeric 2",3"-dibromo cephalomannines and their two corresponding 7-epimers were obtained by treatment of extracts of Taxus yunnanensis with bromine solution under mild conditions. Treatment of the same extract with chlorine solution yielded four diasteromeric

19-Hydroxybaccatin III, 10-deacetylcephalomannine, and 10-deacetyltaxol: new antitumor taxanes from Taxus wallichiana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Activity-guided, chromatographic fractionation for a polar extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. (originally identified as Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.) resulted in the isolation of three new KB cytotoxic taxane derivatives. Nmr and ms spectral analyses permitted their characterization as

Novel taxane derivatives from Taxus wallichiana with high anticancer potency on tumor cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Four novel taxane derivatives, N-debenzoyl-N-methyl-N-heptanoyl-taxol (1), N-debenzoyl-N-me-thyl-N-octanoyl-taxol (2), N-debenzoyl-N-methyl-N-(4-methylhexanoyl)-taxol (3), and N-debenzoyl-N-methyl-N-[(4Z)-1-oxo-4-tenenoyl]-taxol (4), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Taxus

Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Mechanisms of Taxol Synthesis in Taxus wallichiana var. Mairei.

Only registered users can translate articles

Taxol is one of the most potent and effective anticancer drugs and is originally isolated from Taxus species. To investigate the specific regulatory mechanisms of taxol synthesis in Taxus wallichiana var. mairei, RNA-seq was conducted to reveal the differences in transcriptional

An endophytic fungus efficiently producing paclitaxel isolated from Taxus wallichiana var. mairei.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paclitaxel is a medicinal ingredient with high anticancer activity and widely used in hospitals and clinics. In this study, we isolate endophytic fungi efficiently producing paclitaxel from yew for the purpose of paclitaxel manufacture.The bark of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei was surface sterilized

Taxol production by an endophytic fungus, Fusarium redolens, isolated from Himalayan yew.

Only registered users can translate articles

Different endophytic fungi isolated from Himalayan Yew plants were tested for their ability to produce taxol. The BAPT gene (C-13 phenylpropanoid side chain-CoA acetyl transferase) involved in the taxol biosynthetic pathway was used as a molecular marker to screen taxol-producing endophytic fungi.

In vitro and in vivo anticancer activity of 2-deacetoxytaxinine J and synthesis of novel taxoids and their in vitro anticancer activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

The taxane diterpneoid 2-deacetoxytaxinine J (2-DAT-J) 1 has been isolated from the bark of Himalayan yew, Taxus baccata L. spp. wallichiana in a reasonably good yield (0.1%) and its anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and normal human kidney epithelial cell

Screening of endophytic fungi having ability for antioxidative and alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activities isolated from Taxus sumatrana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Endophytic microbes are considered as an important source of natural products. They show antibiotic, anticancer, antioxidative and antidiabetic activities. Therefore, there are many reports on the isolation and bioactivity screening of endophytic fungi from various plants including Taxus species.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ethanolic extract of the bark of Taxus yunnanensis Cheng et L. K. Fu. showed significant antineoplastic effect on the transplantable tumors in mice. The life survival of P388 leukemic bearing mice was increased (84%) and the growth of B16 melanoma in mice was inhibited (53%). From this extract

Taxanes from Taxus wallichiana var. mairei cultivated in the southern area of the Yangtze River in China.

Only registered users can translate articles

A new and 25 known taxane diterpenoids were isolated from the dried whole plants of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei cultivated in the southern area of the Yangtze River in China. The chemical structure of new compound 1, named taxiwallinine, was established by means of MS and NMR analyses. Among the

The effect of heat shock on paclitaxel production in Taxus yunnanensis cell suspension cultures: role of abscisic acid pretreatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

The heat shock (HS) response is a conserved cellular defense mechanism to elevated temperatures, observed in cells from bacteria to human. It is characterized by the increased accumulation of HS proteins. This work examines the effect of HS on the secondary metabolite biosynthesis of cultured plant
