Antiproliferative activity of cardenolides isolated from Streptocaulon juventas.

چکیده
Sixteen cardenolides, two hemiterpenoids, two phenylpropanoids and a phenylethanoid isolated from the roots of Streptocaulon juventas (LOUR.) MERR. were examined for their antiproliferative activity toward three human-derived (HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, lung A549 adenocarcinoma, cervix HeLa adenocarcinoma) and three murine-derived (colon 26-L5 carcinoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, B16-BL6 melanoma) cell lines. The cardenolides selectively and strongly inhibited proliferation of the HT-1080 (IC(50) values, 0.054-1.6 microM) and A549 (IC(50), 0.016-0.65 microM) cell lines. The characteristic morphological changes and ladder-like DNA fragmentation in those cells treated with the cardenolides indicated the antiproliferative activity was due to the induction of apoptosis.

Inhibitory activity of a phytochemically characterized fraction from Streptocaulon juventas on lung cancer in nude mice.
In the present study, a 75% ethanol extract of Streptocaulon juventas (SJ), which had a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human lung A549 adenocarcinoma cells, was subjected to bioassay-guided fractionation. The most active fraction (SJF) was obtained using a macroreticular resin column followed by a silica-gel column. Then its in vivo effect on lung cancer was investigated in at...
متن کاملCytotoxic Cardenolides from Calotropis Species: A Short Review
From different plant parts of Calotropis species (C. gigantea and C. procera), various classes of compounds such as oxypregnanes, terpenoids, sterols, cardenolides and flavonoids have been isolated. Of these compounds, the cardenolides stand out as many of them have anticancer properties. Cardenolides are C23 steroids with a five-membered unsaturated butyrolactone ring consisting of a steroid n...

Plant natural products have historically been very important to drug discovery and development, particularly in the anticancer field. This is illustrated by a discussion of the structures and activities of camptothecin and its analogues, paclitaxel (Taxol), the vinca alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, and podophyllotoxin and its analogues. A description of the isolation of one new and three...
متن کاملCycloartanes from Euphorbia aellenii Rech. f. with Their Antiproliferative activity
The cytotoxic chloroform fraction of Euphorbia aellenii afforded two cycloartane type triterpenes — cycloart-25-en-3,24-diol (1) and 24-methylene-cycloartan-3-ol (2) — for the first time from this plant. Preparation of cycloartane derivatives, 3, 24-O-diacetyl-cycloart-25-en as compound 3 and 3-O-acetyl-24-methylene-cycloartan (4) were conducted by acetylating of 1 and 2, respectively. The ...
