Experimental activity of a compound on cancer cell line/target is mostly analyzed in the form of percentage inhibition at different concentration gradient and time of incubation. In this study a statistical model has been developed referred as in silico assay using support vector regression model,
Alisol B-23-acetate (AB23A), a tetracyclic triterpenoid isolated from the rhizome of Alisma orientale, has been reported to exert anti-proliferative activities in human colon, ovarian and gastric cancer cells. However, the anti-cancer effect of this compound on human lung cancer cells has not yet
The Zimbabwean medicinal plant Monadenium lugardae was evaluated as a potential source of new anticancer constituents. Four new tetracyclic triterpene (1-4) were isolated, accompanied by four previously known triterpenes (5-8). Against a panel of human tumor cell lines, lugardstatins 1 (1) and 2 (2)
Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3), a trace tetracyclic triterpenoid saponin, is extracted from ginseng and shown to have anticancer activity against several types of cancers. This study explored the effect of Rg3 on pancreatic cancer vasculogenic mimicry. Altered vasculogenic mimicry formation was assessed
BACKGROUND
Cucurbitacin B, an oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoid compound extracted from the Thai medicinal plant Trichosanthes cucumerina L., has been reported to have several biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer. Cucurbitacin B is great of interest
Cucurbitacin B (Cu B), a tetracyclic triterpenoid derived from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, exhibits anticancer effects against various types of tumor. Higenamine, isolated from Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, has been used as a dietary supplement for regulating metabolic function. The present
OBJECTIVE
This work aims to study the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of tetracyclic triterpenoids compounds actein and 26-deoxyactein. Further, the mechanism is investigated.
METHODS
In vitro, a modified MTT method was used to assay the cytotoxicities of actein and 26-deoxyactein in 12
A new epidioxy-tetracyclic triterpenoid, 3-(2-hydroxyacetoxy)-5α, 8α-peroxydehydrotumulosic acid (10), along with nine known compounds were isolated from Poria cocos Wolf (Polyporaceae). Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature data. The
Tetracyclic triterpenoids (named as altissimanins A-E, 1-5) and a terpenylated coumarin (denominated as altissimacoumarin G, 6), along with fifteen known compounds (7-21) were isolated from the bark of Ailanthus altissima. Structures of compounds 1-6 were established by spectroscopic methods and
Activation of the serine/threonine kinase Akt is associated with aggressive clinical behavior of prostate cancer. We found that the human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and PC-3 express predominantly Akt1 and Akt2. Selective down-regulation of Akt1, but not Akt2, by short-hairpin RNA reduced the
More than 25 dammarane-type tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins have been isolated from ginseng, the root and rhizome of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae). The genuine sapogenins of those saponins, 20(S)-protopanaxa-diol and -triol, were identified as 20(S) 12beta-hydroxy-and 20(S)
Toosendanin (TSN) is a tetracyclic triterpenoid extracted from Melia toosendan Sieb, et Zucc, which primarily grows in specific areas of China. Although toosendanin (TSN) exerts antitumoral effects on various human cancer cells, its influence on gastric cancer (GC) is remains to be elucidated.
Cucurbitacin E (CuE) is an oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoid isolated from the fruits of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad.This study outlines CuE's cytotoxic activity against drug-resistant tumor cell lines. Three members of ABC transporters superfamily, Many purified compounds from dietary sources have been investigated for their anticancer activities. The main issue with most agents is their effectiveness at high doses which generally could not be delivered to humans through dietary consumption. Here, we observed that cucurbitacin B, a tetracyclic
Four new tetracyclic-type triterpenoids, jatrogossols A - D (1-4), along with 5 known analogues (5-9), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the branches and leaves of Jatropha gossypiifolia. The absolute configurations of 1-4 were defined by using a combination of electronic circular dichroism
