Only registered users can translate articles

Jervine, a novel steroidal alkaloid from Veratrum nigrum L., exhibits both antitumor effect and potential toxicity. The aim of study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic behaviors and enterohepatic circulation of jervine in rats. A rapid and simple ultra-high performance liquid

Antitumor and antiplatelet activity of alkaloids from veratrum dahuricum.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ten steroidal alkaloids - cyclopamine, veratramine, jervine, 3, 15-diangyloylgermine, 3-angyloylzygadenine, 3-veratroyl zygadenine, 15-veratroylgermine, germine, veratrosine and pseudojervine - from Veratrum dahuricum, together with the ethanol extract and total alkaloids, were evaluated for their

Antitumor activity of extracts and compounds from the rhizomes of Veratrum dahuricum.

The antitumor activity of six extracts (ethanol extract, petroleum ether fraction, CHCl(3) fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, n-butanol fraction and total alkaloids) from the rhizomes of Veratrum dahuricum, and six compounds (veratramine (1), jervine (2), germine (3), veramitaline (4), veratrosine

Antitumor activity of isosteroidal alkaloids from the plants in the genus Veratrum and Fritillaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Isosteroidal alkaloids are a category of promising bioactive compounds which mostly exist in plants of genus Veratrum and Fritillaria. The pharmacological activities of isosteroidal alkaloids include antihypertensive, antitussive, anti-inflammatory, antithrombosis, among others. Recently, some

Cyclopamine: from cyclops lambs to cancer treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

In the late 1960s, the steroidal alkaloid cyclopamine was isolated from the plant Veratrum californicum and identified as the teratogen responsible for craniofacial birth defects including cyclops in the offspring of sheep grazing on mountain ranges in the western United States. Cyclopamine was

New substances with cytotoxic and antitumor effects. IV. In vitro effect of some veratrum alkaloids and their derivatives on leukemia P388 cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Some Veratrum alkaloids and their derivatives exhibited an in vitro cytotoxic effect on leukemia P388 cells, depending on the structure of the skeleton of the molecule, particularly on the type of the heterocycle attached to C-20. Veracintine and 20-(2-methyl-1-pyrrolin-5-yl)-4-pregnen-3-one, which

Development of a monoclonal antibody-based ELISA for the hedgehog inhibitors cyclopamine and KAAD-cyclopamine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cyclopamine (1) was isolated from the plant Veratrum californicum Durand (Liliacea) and identified as the teratogen responsible for severe craniofacial birth defects including cyclops in the offspring of sheep grazing on mountain ranges in central Idaho. More recently, cyclopamine (1) was found to

Jervine inhibits non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression by suppressing Hedgehog and AKT signaling via triggering autophagy-regulated apoptosis

Only registered users can translate articles

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been identified as a leading cause of tumor-associated death around the world. Presently, it is necessary to find effective and safe therapy for its treatment in clinic. Jervine (Jer), a sterodial alkaloid from rhizomes of Veratrum album, exhibits

Identification and characterization of in vitro and in vivo metabolites of steroidal alkaloid veratramine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Veratramine, a steroidal alkaloid originating from Veratrum nigrum L., has demonstrated distinct anti-tumor and anti-hypertension effects, however, its metabolism has rarely been explored. The objective of the current study was to provide a comprehensive investigation of its metabolic pathways. The

Gender-Dependent Pharmacokinetics of Veratramine in Rats: In Vivo and In Vitro Evidence.

Only registered users can translate articles

Veratramine, a major alkaloid from Veratrum nigrum L., has distinct anti-tumor and anti-hypertension effects. Our previous study indicated that veratramine had severe toxicity toward male rats. In order to elucidate the underling mechanism, in vivo pharmacokinetic experiments and in vitro

Development of in vitro techniques for the important medicinal plant Veratrum californicum.

Only registered users can translate articles

VERATRUM CALIFORNICUM (Liliaceae) is an important monocotyledonous medicinal plant which is the only source of the anticancer compound cyclopamine. An IN VITRO culture system for somatic embryogenesis and green plant regeneration of VERATRUM CALIFORNICUM was developed. Embryogenic calli were induced

In vivo inhibition of endogenous brain tumors through systemic interference of Hedgehog signaling in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The full spectrum of developmental potential includes normal as well as abnormal and disease states. We therefore subscribe to the idea that tumors derive from the operation of paradevelopmental programs that yield consistent and recognizable morphologies. Work in frogs and mice shows that Hedgehog

Cyclopamine treatment of full-blown Hh/Ptch-associated RMS partially inhibits Hh/Ptch signaling, but not tumor growth.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mutations in the Hedgehog (Hh) receptor Patched (Ptch) are responsible for a variety of tumors, which show ligand-independent stimulation of the Hh/Ptch signaling cascade. Cyclopamine is an alkaloid of the corn lily Veratrum californicum, which blocks activity of the pathway by inhibition of

Elucidating steroid alkaloid biosynthesis in Veratrum californicum: production of verazine in Sf9 cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Steroid alkaloids have been shown to elicit a wide range of pharmacological effects that include anticancer and antifungal activities. Understanding the biosynthesis of these molecules is essential to bioengineering for sustainable production. Herein, we investigate the biosynthetic pathway to

Role of resveratrol in prevention and therapy of cancer: preclinical and clinical studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Resveratrol, trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene, was first isolated in 1940 as a constituent of the roots of white hellebore (Veratrum grandiflorum O. Loes), but has since been found in various plants, including grapes, berries and peanuts. Besides cardioprotective effects, resveratrol exhibits
