The growth inhibition and antitumor activities of yuanhuadine (1), a daphnane diterpenoid from the flowers of Daphne genkwa, were investigated in human lung cancer cells. Compound 1 exhibited a relatively selective growth inhibition against human lung cancer cells compared to other solid human
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. In particular, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are associated with resistance development of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment. Recent
Two new daphnane-type diterpene esters, yuanhuahine (1) and yuanhualine (2), were isolated from the flowers of Daphne genkwa (Thymelaeaceae) along with three known diterpene esters, yuanhuacine (3), yuanhuadine (4), and yuanhuagine (5). Their structures were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D
The failure of targeted therapy due to the resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib, is considered a major problem in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. SerpinB2, a component of the urokinase plasminogen
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are used clinically as target therapies for lung cancer patients, but the occurrence of acquired drug resistance limits their efficacy. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cancer-associated metabolic enzyme, is commonly
Acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib, remains a major problem in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Increased activation of AXL has been identified as a novel mechanism for acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs in
Resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib, is a limited factor in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Therefore, ongoing studies are trying to identify EGFR-TKIs-resistant mechanisms and to
Two new daphne diterpene esters Yuanhuajine (2) and Yuanhuagine (4), together with three known daphne diterpene esters yuanhuacine (1), yuanhuadine (3), and yuanhuapine (5), were isolated and identified from Daphne genkwa, a traditional Chinese medicine. Their structures were elucidated by a
