The intravenous or the oral administration of a pine cone extract of Pinus parviflora Sieb et Zucc (Fr VI) and the related synthetic agent (DHP-FA) to lactating SHN mice prevented an increase of milk levels of mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) from day 7 to day 14 of lactation. Furthermore, Fr VI
A lignin-related cone extract of pine (Pinus parviflora Sieb et Zucc) (FrVI) or a synthetic lignin (DHP-FA) (175 micrograms/0.1 ml 0.9% NaCl solution) was injected intravenously to SHN mice bearing spontaneous mammary tumours three cycles each with consecutive 3 days of treatment and 4 days of
Non-toxic stimulation of dendritic cells (DCs), which are central immunomodulators, may aid the prevention of cancer. Furthermore, induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by anticancer agents contributes to the induction of DC maturation. We previously reported that extracts from Pinus parviflora
Hot water extract of pine cone (PCE) of Pinus parviflora Sieb. et Zucc. dose-dependently suppressed both solid and ascites tumor cells transplanted into various mice. Acidic polysaccharides of PCE significantly increased the survival time of mice bearing ascites tumor cells, and activity increased
An acidic pine cone extract, Fr. V. of Pinus parviflora Sieb. et Zucc. significantly stimulated DNA synthesis of isolated splenocytes from both mice and rats, but only marginally affected the DNA synthesis of leukemic cell lines. The maximum stimulation level attained by Fr. V slightly exceeded that
We showed that an extract (PC6) from cones of Pinus parviflora Sieb et Zucc induced the human T-cell line CEM to produce a pepsin-sensitive soluble factor(s) that could inhibit the replication of the type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in CEM T cells, in U-937 histocytes, in THP-1 monocytes,
We investigated the effect of lignin F, isolated from the alkaline extract of the cone of Pinus parviflora Sieb. et Zucc, on the cytotoxic activity and radical intensity (measured by ESR spectroscopy) of various natural products. Lignin F slightly inhibited the proliferation of human oral tumor cell
