Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a common limitation for the clinical use of microtubule-targeting chemotherapeutic agents, and it is the main factor for poor prognoses in cancer therapy. Here, we report on deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), a promising microtubule inhibitor in phase 1, as a promising
We investigated the root of Podophyllum hexandrum as a potential source of lead bioactive metabolites with anticancer activity. The present study led to the isolation of six known aryltetralin-type lignans designated as 4'-demethyl-deoxypodophyllotoxin (1), podophyllotoxin (2),
Recently, biologically active compounds isolated from plants used in herbal medicine have been the center of interest. Deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), structurally closely related to the lignan podophyllotoxin, was found to be a potent antitumor and antiproliferative agent, in several tumor cells, in
The study of anticancer properties from natural products has regained popularity as natural molecules provide a high diversity of chemical structures with specific biological and medicinal activity. Based on a documented library of the most common medicinal plants used by the indigenous people of
Anthricin (deoxypodophyllotoxin) is a natural product isolated from Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae). Here, we investigated the effect of anthricin on autophagy and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling as anticancer actions in breast cancer cells. Many studies have supported
