five flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of the ethanolic extract of rapistrum rugosum and their structures were assigned from 1h- and 13c-nmr spectra (dept) with 2d nmr as quercetin-3-o-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (1), quercetin-3-o-β-d-xyloside (2), quercetin, 3-o-α-l-arabinopyranoside,7-o-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (3), kaempferol 3-o-α-l-arabinopyranoside, 7-o-α-l-rham...

On the course of screening program for new bioactive compounds, the present study was carried out on the crude extract of Penicillium janthinellum 62. The crude extract of P. janthinellum 62 was fractionated on silica gel column and Sephadex-LH20, ten active fractions were produced. Fraction 7 showed highest antitumor activity, which then purified using preparative TLC and produced six sub-frac...

Bexarotene-tethered RuII(arene) compounds with 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane (PTA) were prepared as an analog of RAPTA antitumor complexes in order to evaluate their vitro antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines.

Attempts have been made to prepare nanoparticles based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and doxorubicin. Biological evaluation and physio-chemical characterizations were performed to elucidate the effects of initial drug loading and polymer composition on nanoparticle properties and its antitumor activity. PLGA nanoparticles were formulated by sonication method. Lactide/glycolide ratio ...

A series of A-ring pyrrole compounds of duocarmycin bearing 5-membered heteroarylacryloyl groups (thienylacryloyl and pyrrolylacryloyl) and heteroarylcarbonyl groups were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anticellular activity against HeLa S3 cells and in vivo antitumor activity against murine sarcoma 180 in mice. Most of the thienylacrylates displayed in vitro anticellular activity equiva...

Five oxaliplatin-typed platinum complexes containing trans-1R, 2R-diaminocyclohexane chelating platinum cores, characteristic of linear or branched alkoxycarboxylates as leaving groups, were biologically evaluated. These compounds showed higher antitumor activity, lower toxicity in vivo than cisplatin or oxaliplatin. And the results revealed that the antitumor activity and interaction with DNA ...

We reported previously that pretreatment with zinostatin stimalamer (ZSS) eradicated Meth A tumors in BALB/c mice. We herein investigated cellular components of spleen and lymph node cells of Meth A-bearing ZSS-pretreated mice by flow cytometry; the antitumor effector cells by in vivo depletion of T cells, NK cells, or macrophages; and host-mediated antitumor activity associated with ZSS treatm...
