Essential oil from the leaves of Myrica rubra, a subtropical Asian fruit tree traditionally used in folk medicines, has a significant antiproliferative effect in several intestinal cancer cell lines. Doxorubicin belongs to the most important cytostatics used in cancer therapy. The present study was

To investigate the antitumor effect of anthocyanins extracted from Chinese bayberry fruit (Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc.), a nude mouse tumor xenograft model was established. Treatments with C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside, an anthocyanin) significantly suppressed the growth of SGC-7901 tumor xenografts in

Natural compounds such as paclitaxel and camptothecin have great effects on tumor treating. Such natural chemicals often achieve anti-tumor effects through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, it is of great significance to push forward the studies on the anticancer mechanism of natural anticancer to

β-caryophyllene oxide (CAO), α-humulene (HUM), trans-nerolidol (NER) and valencene (VAL) are constituents of the essential oil of Myrica rubra (MEO), which has significant antiproliferative effect in various cancer cell lines. In the present study, we compared the antiproliferative effect of these

The sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene, β-caryophyllene oxide (CAO), α-humulene (HUM), trans-nerolidol (NER), and valencene (VAL) are substantial components of the essential oil from Myrica rubra leaves which has exhibited significant antiproliferative effects in several intestinal cancer cell lines,

As a main active compound in the bark of waxberry (Myrica rubra), myricetin is a macrocyclic diarylheptanoid, and can trigger the apoptosis of HeLa and PC3 cells. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the anticancer effect of myricetin on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and to explore the

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a small population of cancer cells characterized by self-renewal ability, tumorigenesis and drug resistance. Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of death related to the female reproductive system in Western countries and has been evaluated as a type of

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy and natural products have drawn great attention for cancer treatment. Chinese bayberry leaves proanthocyanidin (BLPs) with epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) as its terminal and major extension units is unusual in the plant

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a long-term, chronic, progressive joint condition caused by a pathology characterized by the deterioration of joint cartilage and proliferation of subchondral bone. Myricitrin (Myr) is a flavonoid compound extracted from myrica rubra with potent anti-inflammatory properties,

Seven triterpenoids, 1 - 7, two diarylheptanoids, 8 and 9, four phenolic compounds, 10 - 13, and three other compounds, 14 - 16, were isolated from the hexane and MeOH extracts of the bark of Myrica cerifera L. (Myricaceae). Among these compounds, betulin (1), ursolic acid (3), and myricanol (8)

Increased expression of adhesion molecules is thought to serve an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Myricitrin, a bioactive compound of Myrica cerifera, has been demonstrated to exhibit anti‑atherogenic effects. However, the effect of myricitrin on the expression of adhesion

Myrica rubra var. acuminata is a native shrub widely distributed and used as folk medicine in Taiwan for stomach disorders and diarrhea. Column chromatography combined with cytotoxic bioassay-guided fractionation was performed to isolate the antitumor principles from fresh leaves of M. rubravar.

Myrica rubra Sieb et Zucc. (Myricaceae) is well known as a rich source of tannins. Prodelphinidin B-2 3,3'-di-O-gallate (PB233'OG) is a proanthocyanidin gallate that has been reported to exhibit antioxidant and antiviral activity. In this study, we evaluated the anti-proliferative activity of

Myrica rubra (Lour.) Sieb. Et Zucc. is a myricaceae Myrica plant. It is a subtropical fruit tree in China and other Asian countries. The bark of M. rubra is used in Chinese folk medicine because of its antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. However, the mechanisms

Extract of Myrica cerifera bark has long been fruitfully used as a hepato-protective and anti-cancer drug in various complementary and alternative systems of medicine. Myricanone, its principal bioactive compound, had also been reported to have apoptosis-promoting ability. We evaluated its
