چکیده

The lichen substance, 16-O-acetyl-leucotylic acid (1), was isolated from an acetone extract of Myelochroa aurulenta and found to exhibit antiproliferative activity against HL-60 human leukemia cells. This is the first report on its anti-leukemia activity (EC(50)=21 microM) which is greater than that of leucotylic acid (2) and the structurally related anti-tumor agent, betulinic acid (4).

Gnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata induced differentiation and apoptosis in leukemia cell lines

Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...

Saucernetin-8 isolated from Saururus chinensis induced the differentiation of human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells.

The present work was performed to investigate the effects of saucernetin-8 on proliferation and differentiation of human leukemia HL-60 cells as well as the underlying mechanisms for these effects. Saucernetin-8 exhibited a potent antiproliferative activity against HL-60 cells. This compound was also found to be a potent inducer of differentiation in human leukemia derived HL-60 cells through t...

The pyridone-annelated isoindigo (5'-Cl) induces apoptosis, dysregulation of mitochondria and formation of ROS in leukemic HL-60 cells.

BACKGROUND/AIMS In our quest to develop an isoindigo with improved efficacy and bioavailability, we recently synthesized a series of novel substituted pyridone-annelated isoindigo and evaluated their antiproliferative effects. We identified the compound [(E)-1-(5'-Chloro-2'-oxoindolin-3'-ylidene)-6-ethyl-2,3,6,9-tetrahydro-2,9-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-f] quinoline-8-carboxylic acid], abbreviated as...

Taraxinic acid, a hydrolysate of sesquiterpene lactone glycoside from the Taraxacum coreanum NAKAI, induces the differentiation of human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells.

The present work was performed to elucidate the active moiety of a sesquiterpene lactone, taraxinic acid-1'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1). from Taraxacum coreanum NAKAI on the cytotoxicity of various cancer cells. Based on enzymatic hydrolysis and MTT assay, the active moiety should be attributed to the aglycone taraxinic acid (1a). rather than the glycoside (1). Taraxinic acid exhibited potent ...
