polygonatum punctatum/유방암

Polygonatum odoratum lectin (POL), a mannose-binding GNA-related lectin, has been reported to display remarkable anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing activities toward a variety of cancer cells; however, the precise molecular mechanisms by which POL induces cancer cell death are still elusive.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is important in the provision of anti-tumor drugs. Recently, studies have shown that certain types of TCM agents are able to control the growth of tumors, enhance the body's immune function and enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. In women,

Dioscin, a saponin extracted from the roots of Polygonatum zanlanscianense, shows several bioactivities such as antitumor, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Although, dioscin is already known to induce cell death in variety cancer cells, the molecular basis for dioscin-induced cell death was not

A new homoisoflavanone, (3R)-5-hydroxy-7-methoxyl-3-(2'-hydroxy-4'- methoxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one (1), together with six known analogs, were isolated from the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. All compounds were

Polygonatum verticillatum (L.) All. (Ruscaceae), one of the Ashtawarga plants, is widely used for treatment of various ailments. The present study was undertaken to determine the phenolic composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of several extracts (petroleum ether,

Four new steroidal saponins, named neosibiricosides A-D (1-4), were isolated from the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum, along with two known spirostanol glycosides. The structures of the new glycosides were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and acid hydrolysis as
