چکیده
An effective method for the synthesis of 7,8-epoxy-1,3,11-cembratriene15R(α),16-diol and its in vitro Epstein-Barr Virus Early Antigen (EBV-EA) Activation Chemopreventive Assay are reported. This semisynthetic product is a new cembranoid with a potent tumor inhibitory activity that is expected to be a lead compound for a new class of chemopreventive agents of marine origin.

Anti-Protozoal Activities of Cembrane-Type Diterpenes from Vietnamese Soft Corals.
Based on our previous finding that certain cembranoid diterpenes possess selective toxicity against protozoan pathogens of tropical diseases such as Trypanosoma and Plasmodium, we have subjected a series of 34 cembranes isolated from soft corals living in the Vietnamese sea to an in vitro screening for anti-protozoal activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (Tbr), T. cruzi (Tc), Leishman...

skeleton, are known to exhibit a wide range of biological activities including anticancer properties. Since 1998, sarcophine (1), a cembranoid diterpene, has been investigated for its potential as a chemopreventive agent. Bioconversion of (1) yielded several hydroxylated metabolites. These metabolites showed improved activity, compared not only to sarcophine, but also to sarcophytol A (2), whic...
متن کاملBioassay Methods useful to select the natural product cancer chemopreventive agents
Prevention of malignant disease such as cancer is obviously much more important than therapy, so primary prevention tactics should be invoked with the greatest possible effort. Because delaying a disease such as cancer is somehow equivalent to cure and it is now generally accepted that cancer can be managed through chemopreventive interventions. Since a considerable number of known cancer chemo...

Sarcodiol (SD) is a semi-synthetic derivative of sarcophine, a marine natural product. In our previous work, we reported the significant chemopreventive effects of SD against non-melanoma skin cancer both in vitro and in vivo mouse models. In this investigation, we extended this work to study the effect of sarcodiol on melanoma development, the more deadly form of skin cancer, using the mouse m...
