چکیده

Arjunolic acid, an oleanene-type triterpene isolated from the rhizome of Cochlospermum tinctorium, its triacetate derivative, and their methyl esters were tested using the short-term in vitro assay on EBV-EA activation in Raji cells induced by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Their inhibitory effects on skin tumor promotors were found to be greater than those of previously studied natural products.

THE IN VITRO GROWTH PROPERTIES OF CELL LINES FROM EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS-INDUCED TAMARIN TUMORS AND TAMARIN B CELLS TR ANSFORMED BY EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS

EBV-carrying human cell lines, depending on whether the cells are derived from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) tumor biopsies or transformed by EBV in vitro, have different growth properties in vitro. In contrast, there are no clear differences between tamarin tumor lines and tamarin LCLs in vitro. Both types of tamarin cell lines could grow in agarose and formed colonies unlike human LCLs, althoug...

Ichthyotoxic and anticarcinogenic effects of triterpenoids from Sandoricum koetjape bark.

After bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract from Sandoricum koetjape bark, which exhibited significant toxicity to killifish (Oryzias latipes), two ichthyotoxic triterpenoids were isolated and characterized as koetjapic acid and 3-oxo-olean-12-en-29-oic acid. These constituents, along with non-toxic katonic acid, had a remarkable inhibitory effect on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV...
