چکیده

The title compound, C(26)H(32)O(11), is composed of an α,β-unsaturated cyclo-hexa-none ring (A), two cyclo-hexane rings (B and C), a six-membered lactone ring (D) and tetra-hydro-furan ring (E). Ring A exists in a half-chair conformation with a C atom displaced by 0.679 (2) Å from the mean plane through the remaining five atoms. Ring B exists in a normal chair conformation. Both rings C and D exist in a twisted-chair conformation due to the O-atom bridge and the carbonyl group in rings C and D, respectively. Ring E shows an envelope conformation with a C atom displaced by 0.761 (1) Å from the mean plane through the remaining five atoms. The ring junctions are A/B trans, B/C trans, C/D cis and D/E cis. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the hy-droxy, lactone and ester groups and C-H⋯O inter-actions are observed.

Exploring brusatol as a new anti-pancreatic cancer adjuvant: biological evaluation and mechanistic studies

Pancreatic cancer is highly resistant to chemotherapeutic agents and is known to have a poor prognosis. The development of new therapeutic entities is badly needed for this deadly malignancy. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that brusatol, a natural quassinoid isolated from a Chinese herbal medicine named Bruceae Fructus, possessed potent cytotoxic effect against different panc...

The toxic effects and possible mechanisms of Brusatol on mouse oocytes

Brusatol is a natural quassinoid that shows a potential therapeutic use in cancer models by the inhibition of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and is capable of inducing a variety of biological effects. The effects of Brusatol on oocyte meiosis has not been addressed. In this study, we investigated the impact of Brusatol treatment on mouse oocyte maturation and its possible me...

Brusatol-Mediated Inhibition of c-Myc Increases HIF-1α Degradation and Causes Cell Death in Colorectal Cancer under Hypoxia

HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) regulates the expression of ~100 genes involved in angiogenesis, metastasis, tumor growth, chemoresistance and radioresistance, underscoring the growing interest in targeting HIF-1 for cancer control. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying brusatol-induced HIF-1α degradation and cell death in colorectal cancer under hypoxia (...

Brusatol enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy by inhibiting the Nrf2-mediated defense mechanism.

The major obstacle in cancer treatment is the resistance of cancer cells to therapies. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that regulates a cellular defense response and is ubiquitously expressed at low basal levels in normal tissues due to Keap1-dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Recently, Nrf2 has emerged as an important contributor to chemoresistance. High constitutive expressi...

Application of Mass Spectrometry Profiling to Establish Brusatol as an Inhibitor of Global Protein Synthesis.

The KEAP1/Nrf2 pathway senses and responds to changes in intracellular oxidative stress. Mutations that result in constitutive activation of Nrf2 are present in several human tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, compounds that inhibit Nrf2 activity might be beneficial in treating patients whose tumors show activation of this pathway. Recent reports suggest that the natural ...

Brusatol Enhances the Radiosensitivity of A549 Cells by Promoting ROS Production and Enhancing DNA Damage

NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been identified as a master regulatory factor in the protection of cells from oxidative and electrophilic stress. However, overexpression of Nrf2 in lung cancer may cause chemoresistance, as well as radioresistance. In this study, we examined the relationship between radioresistance and Nrf2 protein levels in H1299, A549, and H460 cells, and finally chose the A...
