Synthesis and Evaluation of New Naphthalene and Naphthoquinone Derivatives as Anticancer Agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors, both synthetic and of natural origin, are receiving increasing consideration primarily as drugs against refractory tumors. Alkannin and shikonin, two enantiomeric dyes from Alkanna tinctoria and Lithospermum erythrorhizon, have been known over many centuries as

Investigation of the synergistic effects of paclitaxel and herbal substances and endemic plant extracts on cell cycle and apoptosis signal pathways in prostate cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paclitaxel, which isolated from Taxus brevifolia, is recently started to be used against prostate cancer treatment and it is a very effective compound against cancer. In this study, we aimed to test the synergistic effect of two plant active compounds (sulphoraphane (SFN) and silymarin (SILY)) and

Radical scavenging activity of Alkanna tinctoria root extracts and their main constituents, hydroxynaphthoquinones.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alkannin and shikonin (A[sol ]S) are pharmaceutical substances with a wide spectrum of biological properties. Radical scavenging activity is involved in aging processes, antiinssammatory, anticancer and wound healing activities. Hence, in the present study the DPPH radical scavenging activity of

Cytotoxic naphthoquinones from Alkanna cappadocica ( perpendicular).

Only registered users can translate articles

In a continuing program to discover new anticancer agents from plants, especially naphthoquinones from the Alkanna genus, Alkanna cappadocica was investigated. Bioassay-guided fractionation of a dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) extract of the roots led to the isolation of four new and four known

ALCAPs induce mitochondrial apoptosis and activate DNA damage response by generating ROS and inhibiting topoisomerase I enzyme activity in K562 leukemia cell line.

Only registered users can translate articles

Endemic Alkanna cappadocica was used to isolate novel antitumor molecules from Turkish landscapes in our previous studies. In this study, deoxyalkannin (ALCAP1), β,β-dimethylacrylalkannin (ALCAP2), acetylalkannin (ALCAP3), and alkannin (ALCAP4) as well as the novel isolated compounds

Isolation and chemopreventive evaluation of novel naphthoquinone compounds from Alkanna tinctoria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Botanically derived natural products have recently become an attractive source of new chemotherapeutic agents. To explore active anticolorectal cancer compounds, we carried out phytochemical studies on Alkanna tinctoria and isolated eight quinone compounds. Using different spectral methods,

Preparative isolation and purification of alkannin/shikonin derivatives from natural products by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alkannin and shikonin (A/S) and their derivatives have been found in the roots of several Boraginaceous species and are also produced through plant tissue cultures. The chiral compounds A/S are potent pharmaceutical substances with a wide spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities like

Analysis of alkannin derivatives from Alkanna species by high-performance liquid chromatography/photodiode array/mass spectrometry.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alkannin, shikonin (A/S) and their derivatives are enantiomeric hydroxynaphthoquinone red pigments found in the roots of almost 150 species of the Boraginaceae family. A/S have been shown to exhibit strong wound healing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and recent
