Many anticancer drugs are obtained from natural sources. Nature produces a variety of toxic compounds, which are often used as anticancer drugs. Up to now, there are at least 120 species of poisonous botanicals, animals and minerals, of which more than half have been found to possess significant
Natural products have been used as effective remedies for the treatment of various ailments. Numerous plant products in the form of decoction, tincture, tablets and capsules have been clinically used for the treatment of different kinds of cancer. This review covers some of the important plants with
The antitumor activities and the mechanisms of action of harringtonine and homoharringtonine, alkaloids isolated from cephalotaxus hainanensis Li, were compared to those of vincristine. The results obtained were as follows: Harringtonine and homoharringtonine Significantly inhibited the growth of
Harringtonine and its derivative homoharringtonine are ester-containing anti-leukemic alkaloids isolated from the tree Cephalotaxus harringtonia. In order to compare their antitumor activity against solid tumors, in vitro culture of fresh tumor cells from 23 patients was carried out with a soft agar
Endophytes from Cephalotaxus hainanensis Li, an important source of anti-leukemia drugs, have not been widely explored. In this study, 265 endophytic fungal isolates from C. hainanensis Li were screened for antimicrobial activities against tilapia, banana, rice, and rape and for antitumor activities
Three new diterpenoids, mannolides A-C (1-3), and two new Cephalotaxus troponoids, 4 and 5, were isolated from Cephalotaxus mannii and structurally characterized by spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallography. The discovery of compounds 1-3 featuring a new intact carbon skeleton, proposed as
Activity-guided, chromatographic fractionation for a polar extract of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. (originally identified as Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.) resulted in the isolation of three new KB cytotoxic taxane derivatives. Nmr and ms spectral analyses permitted their characterization as
Two new alkaloids, namely neoharringtonine (1) and anhydroharringtonine (2) with significant antileukemic activity were isolated from Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook f.. Their structures have been established by spectral analyses and semi-synthesis. Seven known alkaloids, deoxyharringtonine (3),
Various phases of research on Ciphalotaxus alkaloids are summarized, including their discovery, nature of antitumor activity, isolation, structural characterization, synthesis, biogenesis, and mechanism of physiologic action.
Antitumor activities of harringtonine(HA) and homoharringtonine(HO) both belong to cephalotaxus alkaloids were compared with those of vinca alkaloids, vincristine (VCR) and vinblastine (VLB). HA and HO had significant activities against P388 leukemia, L1210 leukemia and B16 melanoma by
Harringtonine (HT), a kind of anticancer drug isolated from Chinese herb-Cephalotaxus hainanensis Li, can induce apoptosis in promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. With both two-photon laser scanning microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy in combination with the fluorescent probe Hoechst
Harringtonine (HT), a domestic antitumor drug extracted from Cephalotaxus hainanensis Li showed high chemotherapeutic efficacy on human acute granulocytic leukemia and acute myelocytic leukemia in clinics. Apoptosis of HL-60 cells can be induced by HT effectively; but for cells resistant to
