saussurea nigrescens/抗がん剤

Saussurea involucrata is a Mongolian medicinal plant well known for its effects in promoting blood circulation, and anti-inflammation and analgesic functions. Earlier studies reported that Saussurea involucrata has anti- cancer activity. The purpose of this study was to confirm the anticancer

In the course of our continuing search for novel cancer chemopreventive agents from natural sources, several kinds of Compositae plants were screened. Consequently, the lignans, arctiin (ARC) and arctigenin (ARC-G), were obtained from the aerial part of Saussurea medusaas active constituents. These

The dried roots of Saussurea lappa, called costus roots, are used in the traditional system of medicine for the treatment of cancer. In our investigation for the anticancer constituents from the hexane extract of this plant, a new sesquiterpene (1) was isolated along with the known compounds

To demonstrate the mechanisms of the curative effect of Saussurea lappa ethanol extract (SLE) against prostate cancer, we evaluated the effect of SLE on the induction of apoptosis and autophagy and investigated whether SLE-induced autophagy exerts a pro-survival or pro-apoptotic effect in lymph node

BACKGROUND Saussurea lappa Dence (Compositae) is used as a traditional herbal medicine to treat abdominal pain and tenesmus in East Asia. Current studies have shown that S. lappa has anticancer activity in divergent of cancer cells. However, the effects of S. lappa on oral cancer and its mechanisms

Dehydrocostuslactone is a sesquiterpene lactone derived from Saussurea lappa, a plant used in traditional herbal medicines. The anti-proliferative activity of dehydrocostuslactone was investigated in human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453 and SK-BR-3) and ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3 and OVCAR3)

Costunolide (CE) and dehydrocostuslactone (DE) are derived from many species of medicinal plants, such as Saussurea lappa Decne and Laurus nobilis L. They have been reported for their wide spectrum of biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal,

The aim of this paper was to investigate the flavonoids of callus of transgenic and non-transgenic Saussurea involucrate and its antitumor activity on the esophageal cancer CaEs-17 cells. The species and content of mono-phenols were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The growth of

In a screen for mammalian thioredoxin reductases inhibitors, an MeOH extract from the roots of Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke (Compositae) inhibited the activity of cytosolic thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1). Bioassay-guided separation of the extract led to the isolation of a new TrxR1 inhibitor,

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment remains lack of effective chemotherapeutic drugs, therefore, discovering novel anti-HCC drugs is a very attractive and urgent task. In this study, we reported VOSL (volatile oil from Saussurea lappa root) exhibits potent therapeutic effect on SMMC-7721

Saussureae Involucratae Herba is the dried ground part of Saussurea involucrata (Kar. et Kir.) Sch.-Bip, which is also named as "Snow lotus" and being used in traditional Uyghur and/or Chinese medicine. This rare herb can be found at 4,000 m elevation in western part of Tianshan

BACKGROUND Saussurea involucrata is a rare traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that displays anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. In this paper, the different chemical components of Saussurea involucrata were characterized and identified over a wide dynamic range by

The genus Saussurea DC is well known for its rich chemical composition and wide range of biological activities. Although content and biological effects of major chemical components are thoroughly studied, the composition and concentrations of minor constituents, such as essential oils, still

Sesquiterpenes lactones including costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone, were isolated from Saussurea lappa roots, which had exhibited a wide range of biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, and immunomodulatory activities. High-speed counter-current

Two taraxastane triterpenoids, i.e. taraxast-20-ene-3beta,30-diol (1) and 20alpha,21alpha-epoxy-taraxastane-3beta,22alpha-diol (2), as well as four known triterpenes taraxast-20(30)ene-3beta,21alpha-diol (3), taraxast-20(30)-ene-3beta-ol (4), taraxast-20-ene-3beta-ol (5) and
