triterpenoid/sarcoma

Oncogenic Kirsten RAt Sarcoma (KRAS) mutations are attractive targets in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, the objective of this work is to discover promising inhibitors that target this protein using in silico methods that have become increasingly cost-effective in research and development

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to investigate the protective effect of the triterpenoid fractions from the rhizomes of Astilbe chinensis (Saxifragaceae) (ATF) on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced toxicity in tumor-bearing mice. METHODS The mice inoculated with mouse sarcoma S180 cells were

We show that the synthetic oleanane triterpenoid, CDDO-methyl ester (CDDO-Me; methyl 2-cyano-3,12-dioxoolean-1,9-dien-28-oate) is an effective agent for suppressing angiogenesis, both in cell culture and in vivo. The potency of CDDO-Me is particularly striking when dosed in vivo to inhibit the

OBJECTIVE This work aims to study the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of tetracyclic triterpenoids compounds actein and 26-deoxyactein. Further, the mechanism is investigated. METHODS In vitro, a modified MTT method was used to assay the cytotoxicities of actein and 26-deoxyactein in 12

Genuine saponins of Solidago virgaurea L., Heteropappus altaicus (Willd.) Novopokr., Heteropappus biennis (Ldb.) Tamamsch. and Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae) as well as related carbohydrate modified glycosides of polygalacic acid and echinocystic acid and some commercial available triterpenoid

Synthetic triterpenoids, such as 2-cyano-3,12-dioxoolean-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO) and its derivatives, are an extremely potent class of new anti-cancer therapeutic agents, characterized by high anti-tumor potency and low toxicity to normal tissues. This report is the first to investigate the

OBJECTIVE Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are one of the major factors responsible for immune suppression in cancer. Therefore, it would be important to identify effective therapeutic means to modulate these cells. METHODS We evaluated the effect of the synthetic triterpenoid C-28 methyl

There are many types of nontumor cells, including leukocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, in the tumor microenvironment. Among these cells, infiltrating macrophages have recently received attention as novel target cells due to their protumoral functions. Infiltrating macrophages are called

Toosendanin, a triterpenoid extracted from the root bark of Melia toosendan, has its origin from traditional Chinese medicine and has been used as a non‑polluting and pesticide‑free plant insecticide in China for fruit and vegetable production. In recent years, toosendanin has been found to inhibit

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is linked with all clinical forms of Kaposi sarcoma and several lymphoproliferative disorders. Like other herpesviruses, KSHV becomes latent in the infected cells, expressing only a few genes that are essential for the establishment and maintenance of its

BACKGROUND Cucurbitacins are a group of triterpenoids that have a cucurbitane skeleton with a wide range of biological activities. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the anticancer properties of one cucurbitacin isolated from Cayaponia racemosa Cong. (Cucurbitaceae),

The present study relates to the induction of apoptosis thereof cytotoxicity and anti-cancer activity displayed by semi-synthetic analog of Boswellic acid i.e. 3-α-Butyryloxy-β-boswellic acid (BOBA). The cytotoxicity data revealed the differential sensitivity of cancer cell lines towards BOBA which

3beta,6beta-dihydroxyolean-12-en-27-oic acid (1) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid isolated from the rhizomes of Astilbe chinensis. To evaluate the in vivo antitumor potential and to elucidate its immunological mechanisms, effect of 1 on the growth of mouse-transplantable tumors, and the immune response

Angiogenesis is the base for solid tumour growth and dissemination, and anti-angiogenic drugs have been demonstrated to be active in clinical trials. In addition, it has become increasingly clear that inflammation is a key component in tumour insurgence. Chemoprevention focuses on the primary or

OBJECTIVE Raddeanin A, a triterpenoid saponin from Anemone raddeana Regel, has good antitumor activity in vitro. This study was to investigate its antitumor effects on tumor cell xenografts in mice. METHODS The inhibitory effects of raddeanin A on the proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma
