sinomenium acutum/悪性腫瘍

The aqueous extract of Sinomenium acutum stem (SSAE) (0.1-1000 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited systemic anaphylactic reaction induced by compound 48/80 in mice. In particular, SSAE reduced compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic reaction with 50% at the dose of 1000 mg/kg. SSAE (100-1000 mg/kg) also

Sinomenine (SIN) is an herbal ingredient isolated from Sinomenium acutum Rehd. et Wils. We evaluated the effects of SIN on the growth and apoptosis of human lung cancer NCI-H460 cells. SIN inhibited the proliferation of the cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Apoptosis was confirmed by flow

The use of plant‑based compounds derived from traditional medicine to improve human diseases has been gaining momentum, due to their high bioavailability and moderate adverse effects. Sinomenine is one such biomonomer alkali compound derived from Sinomenium acutum and is known for its

P-Glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance is a frequent event during chemotherapy and a key obstacle for bladder cancer therapy. Search for strategies to reverse multidrug resistance is a promising approach to improve the management of bladder cancer. In the present study, we reported a novel

OBJECTIVE Sinomenine, an alkaloid isolated from the root of Sinomenium acutum, has been used to alleviate the symptoms of rheumatic diseases. Liang Miao San (LMS), composed of the herbs Rhizoma Atractylodis (Cangzhu) and Cotex Phellodendri (Huangbai), is another traditional Chinese medicine formula

MicroRNAs' expression profiles have recently gained major attention as far as cancer research is concerned. MicroRNAs are able to inhibit target gene expression via binding to the 3' UTR of target mRNA, resulting in target mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition. MicroRNAs play significant parts in

Sinomenine (SIN) is an anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic alkaloid derived from Sinomenium acutum, and the product Zhengqing Fengtongning produced from SIN has been marketed in China for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Interestingly, we recently found that SIN could significantly ameliorate

Solid tumor vasculature is characterized by structural and functional abnormality and results in a hostile tumor microenvironment that mediates several deleterious aspects of tumor behavior. Sinomenine is an alkaloid extracted from the Chinese medicinal plant, Sinomenium acutum, which has been

UNASSIGNED Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major reason for the failure of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC), and the primary determinant of MDR in CRC patients is active drug efflux owing to overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cancer tissues. Despite research efforts to overcome

Sinomenine, the main alkaloid extracted from the medicinal plant Sinomenium acutum, is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. Recent studies have suggested its anti-cancer effect in synovial sarcoma, lung cancer and hepatic cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for its anti-cancer

The new lignan glucoside, acutumoside (1), was isolated from Sinomenium acutum rhizomes together with nine known compounds (2-10). The structure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and chemical reactions.

Two new alkaloids, 2-demethyl-oxypalmatine (1) and 5-ethoxycarbonylsinoracutine (2), were isolated from the rhizomes of Sinomenium acutum, along with thirty-four known compounds. Cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was examined for the MCF-7, H460, HT-29, and CEM human cancer cell lines.

The present study demonstrates that the aqueous extract of Sinomenium acutum stem (SSAE) produces nitric oxide (NO) upon treatment with recombinant interferon gamma (rIFN-gamma) in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Apparently SSAE has no effect on NO production by itself. This production is dependent on

Sinomenine (SIN) is a bioactive alkaloid compound extracted from a Chinese medicinal plant Sinomenium acutum. It is a multitarget antitumor natural substance. Various mechanisms have been proposed for the antitumor effects of SIN, such as direct cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, sensitization

Sinomenine (SIN) is a bioactive alkaloid extracted from the Chinese medicinal plant Sinomenium acutum. Results of studies have shown that the anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-arthritic effects of SIN are partially attributed to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression.
