In this study, we aimed to determine the growth inhibition and the induction of apoptotic cell death brought about by the herb Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge in gastric cancer cell lines, and to clarify the mechanism of this apoptosis. Water-soluble ingredients of A. asphodeloides, and the gastric

The aqueous extract of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (BN108) induces apoptosis in various cancer cell lines but is significantly less cytotoxic in non-transformed cells. Chemical fractionation of BN108 showed that its cytotoxicity is associated with timosaponins, steroidal saponins of coprostane type.

The water extract of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, the traditional oriental medicinal plant, mediated the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Aa-AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (Aa-AuNPs). First, its therapeutic rhizome was powdered prior to water extraction and then silver, gold

Based on the fact that Timosaponin A-III, a saponin isolated from the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, is a promising bioactive lead compound in the treatment of cancer, structural modification at the C3 and C26 positions of sarsasapogenin has always been the focus of our structure-activity

Polycomb group (PcG) protein BMI1 is an important regulator of oncogenic phenotype and is often overexpressed in several human malignancies including breast cancer. Aberrant expression of BMI1 is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in cancer patients. At present, therapy reagents that can

Timosaponin AIII, a major steroidal saponin found in Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge., which has been widely used as anti-pyretic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregator and anti-depressant agents in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent pharmacological study showed that timosaponin

The potential antitumor activity of timosaponin A-III (1), a steroidal saponin from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, was investigated in human colorectal cancer HCT-15 cells both in cell culture and in an in vivo murine xenograft model. Compound 1 inhibited the proliferation of cancer

Timosaponin AIII (TAIII) is a type of steroidal saponins isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides. It was known to improve learning and memory deficits through anti-inflammatory effects. TAIII was also reported to induce autophagy preceding mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in HeLa cancer cells and

Aims: Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), an active component with anti-tumor activity from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, can induce both autophagy and apoptosis of cancer cells. The present study aimed to reveal the promoting or inhibiting role

Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease, due in large part to its propensity to metastasize. We examined the effects of timosaponin AIII, a compound isolated from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, on melanoma cancer cell migration and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects

Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), a steroidal saponin isolated from the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, exerted cytotoxic effect in many cancer cell lines. However, the effect of TAIII on resistant tumor cancer cells was unclear. In this study, MTT assay showed that TAIII exhibited significant

UNASSIGNED Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), as a steroid saponin in Anemarrhena asphodeloides, has favorable potential as an antitumor candidate. However, its hydrophobicity and low bioavailability severely limit its in vivo antitumor efficacy. UNASSIGNED To overcome this drawback, TAIII-loaded liposomes

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most recalcitrant and lethal of all cancers. We examined the effects of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (AA) and timosaponin-AIII (TAIII), a steroidal saponin present in AA, on pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and aimed to elucidate their potential apoptotic mechanisms
