podocarpus parlatorei/항진균제

Antifungal activity of three nagilactones isolated from the root bark of Podocarpus nagi (Podocarpaceae), alone and in combination with a variety of phenylpropanoids, was investigated against three fungi, Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pityrosporum ovale. Nagilactone E [2], the most

Three new phthalide derivatives (1-3) named 5-(3'-methyl-2'-butenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (1), 5-(3'-carboxyl-3'-methyl-2E-allyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalide (2) and 5-(3',3'-dimethylallyloxy)-2-methoxycarbonyl-3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (3) together with six known

Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. We hypothesized that nagilactone B (NLB), a small molecule extracted from the root bark of Podocarpus nagi (Podocarpaceae), suppresses atherosclerosis in an atherosclerotic mouse

BACKGROUND Different parts of Podocarpus henkelii have been used in many cultures around the world to treat ailments such as cholera, stomach diseases, rheumatism, cancer, canine distemper in dogs and gall sickness in cattle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological activity and toxicity

Pulmonary fibrosis is a prototypic chronic progressive lung disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Novel effective therapeutic agents are urgently needed owing to the limited treatment options in clinic. Herein, nagilactone D (NLD), a natural norditerpenoid obtained from Podocarpus

The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways, especially the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, play vital roles in the development of many malignancies. Overactivation of STAT3 promotes cancer cell survival and proliferation. Therefore, the JAK2/STAT3-signaling pathway

A phytochemical investigation of twigs of Podocarpus nagi resulted in the identification of eight new type B nagilactones (1-8), all bearing a 7α,8α-epoxy-9(11)-enolide substructure, along with two known analogs (9-10). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis,

Nagilactones are norditerpene dilactones isolated from the root bark of Podocarpus nagi. Although nagilactone E has been reported to show antifungal activities, its activity is weaker than that of antifungals on the market. Nagilactone E enhances the antifungal activity of phenylpropanoids such as

BACKGROUND Several species of Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae) are utilized in treating ailments across the world. In Africa, four species are used traditionally in both animal and human health. OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial activity of Podocarpus species against Bacillus subtilis,

Nagilactones are tetracyclic natural products isolated from various Podocarpus species. These lactone-based compounds display a range of pharmacological effects, including antifungal, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities reviewed here. The most active derivatives, such
