Eleven triterpene acids, 1-11, isolated from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica, were evaluated for inhibition of DNA topoisomerase (Topo) I and cytotoxicity against human leukemia (HL60) and melanoma cell lines (CRL1579). Among the compounds tested, four compounds, δ-oleanolic acid (4), ursolic acid
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a potentially fatal stem-cell cancer. P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1) activity has been described as a relevant factor in the chemotherapeutic failure and correlated to a poor prognosis in these malignancies. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of the
The cytotoxicity of four triterpenoids, euscaphic acid (1), tormentic acid (2), 2alpha-acetyl tormentic acid (3), and 3beta-acetyl tormentic acid (4), isolated from the roots of Cecropia lyratiloba (Moraceae) by countercurrent chromatography, was evaluated in vitro in sensitive and multidrug
