Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and novel therapeutic approaches are urgently required. Anemoside B4 (AB4) is a compound extracted from Pulsatilla chinensis (P. chinensis). Previous studies have indicated that P. chinensis
Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies. However, its clinical usage is severely limited by its serious side effects, especially nephrotoxicity. Anemoside B4, is a major saponins, rich in root of Pulsatilla Colon cancer is one of the common types of digestive malignancy. The efficacy of the first-line chemotherapy drug for colon cancer, fluorouracil (5-FU), remains limited in clinical settings due to poor efficacy and significant side effects. In the present study, the anticancer activity of an active
Pulsatilla chinensis is one of the 50 famous fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. Saponins are the main components of P. chinensis. Although the anti-proliferative function of saponins has been established in plenty types of cancer, the role of saponins on tumor invasion and
Plants or herb extracts have emerged as a novel approach to controling various diseases, including cancers. Among them, Pulsatilla koreana extract (PKE) has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent and for treating dysentery in traditional Korean and Chinese medicine. However, the effect of
Pulsatilla koreana has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine if SB365, Pulsatilla saponin D isolated from the root of P. koreana inhibits the progression of colon cancer. We found that SB365 strongly suppressed the
In the present study, a new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin, pulsatilloside F (1), along with 21 known compounds (2-22), were isolated from the root of Pulsatilla koreana. Their chemical structures were elucidated by mass, (1)H-, (13)C-NMR, correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple
Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel is a Chinese medicinal herb for "blood-cooling" and detoxification. Now it is used for the treatment of malignant tumor, but the antitumor mechanisms and toxic side effects of P. chinensis are unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate if P. chinensis
Pulsatilla koreana has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine whether SB365, Pulsatilla saponin D isolated from the root of Pulsatilla koreana inhibits the progression of pancreatic cancer. We found that SB365 strongly
BACKGROUND
Many natural compounds possess antitumor growth activities. Pulsatilla chinensis is an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat infectious diseases. More recently, extracts from P chinensis have been shown to contain antitumor activities.
METHODS
In this study, we isolated
Context: Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae) possess antitumour effects; however, its antitumour potential has not been extensively investigated.Objective: To investigate the synergetic effect of multi-components from P. chinensis induced cell apoptosis and
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism to protect the cells from unfavorable environmental conditions. Inhibition of autophagy has been contemplated as a novel strategy to enhance anticancer efficacy of existing chemotherapeutic agents. We previously reported that pulsatilla saponin D
Chemoprevention through the use of food and plants has emerged as a novel approach to control various malignancies including cancer. Pulsatilla koreana extract (PKE) has been used to treat malaria and dysentery. The functions and effect of PKE in cancer treatment have been reported but with less
Clinical treatment using epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) such as gefitinib or erlotinib has been applied in patients with non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Unfortunately, acquired drug resistance emerges in these patients due to the amplification of the
The cytotoxic activity of 36 saponins isolated from roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel against the human cancer cell lines (A549, SGC-7901) and the human hepatic cell line (HL-7702) was tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Saponins 1-14 showed
