In search for plant-derived cytotoxicity compound against human cancer cells (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, HCT15), it was found that the chloroform extracts obtained from the whole plant of Carpesium rosulatum MlQ. (Compositae) exhibited significant cytotoxic activity. Four sesquiterpene lactone,
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of lactone I from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (LAMK I) on the cytokines and proteolysis-inducing factors (PIF) in cachectic cancer patients.
METHODS
Sixty-four cachectic cancer patients were randomized into two groups, namely LAMK I group and FOE (fish

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rare in Europe and North America but is a real public health problem in some regions of the world, such as southern Asia, North Africa, and for Inuit populations. Due to the anatomy and location of the
BACKGROUND
Cnidium lactone is a natural coumarin compound that can inhibit a variety of cancer cell proliferation and induce cancer cell apoptosis. This experiment investigated the effect of cnidium lactone on molecular marker expression in prostate cancer nude mice to study its effect in inducing
Multidrug resistance is a prevailing phenomenon leading to chemotherapy treatment failure in cancer patients. In the current study two known cytotoxic pseudoguaianolide sesquiterpene lactones; neoambrosin (1) and damsin (2) that circumvent MDR were identified. The two cytotoxic compounds were
Three new sesquiterpene lactones, 1 α,10 β-epoxy-4-hydroxy-glechoma-5-en-olide (1), 1 β,10 α-epoxy-4,8-dihydroxy-glechoma-5-en-olide (2), and 1 β,10 α;4 α,5 β-diepoxy-8-methoxy-glechoman-8 α,12-olide (3), were isolated from the whole plant of Glechoma hederacea, together with four known
While searching for new estrogenic compounds from the plant kingdom, we investigated an extract of the seeds of Cuscuta chinensis (Convolvulaceae) which showed potency for stimulating MCF-7 cell proliferation. A novel resin glycoside, cuscutic resinoside A ( 6) was isolated along with five known
Phorbol esters, the archetypical (PKC) activators, induce apoptosis in androgen-sensitive LNCaP prostate cancer cells. In this study we evaluate the effect of a novel class of PKC ligands, the diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactones, as inducers of apoptosis in LNCaP cells. These unique ligands were designed
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising candidate for cancer therapeutics due to its ability to induce apoptosis selectively in cancer cells. However, sensitivity of cancer cells for induction of apoptosis by TRAIL varies considerably. Therefore, it is
Metastasis is the most insidious aspect of breast cancer, but effective strategies to control this malignant process are still lacking. In previous studies, we screened over 200 extracts from plants of genus Chloranthaceae by bioactivity-guided fractionation, and found that Codonolactone (CLT)
An investigation of the chemical constituents in a dichloromethnae extract of Goniothalamus undulatus root led to the isolation of three known styryl lactones (5-acetoxyisogoniothalamin oxide, O-acetylaltholactone and altholactone), and four known annonaceous acetogenins (annonacin, cis-annonacin,
In this paper, two diterpenoide lactones 16-hydroxypseudojolkinolide B and jolkinolide B were isolated from Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. They showed inhibitory effect on human tumor cells both the K562 cell and CNE2 cell and significant dose-effect relationship. The IC50 values of
A 8β-angeloyloxy-9α-hydroxy-14-oxo-acanthospermolide and five known melampolide sesquiterpene lactones (uvedalin, enhydrin, polymatin B, sonchifolin, and fluctuanin) were isolated from the leaves of Smallanthus sonchifolius. The compounds were identified by 1D-, 2D-NMR, HRMS, IR and UV analyses. In
Total methanol extract of Saussurea lappa radix (Compositae) showed potent inhibitory effect on the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a proinflammatory cytokine, in murine macrophage-like cell (RAW264.7 cells) in our previous screening studies on 120 Korean medicinal plants. The
Saussurea lappa has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of abdominal pain, tenesmus, nausea, and cancer; previous studies have shown that S. lappa also induces G(2) growth arrest and apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of hexane
