Certain flavonoids were reported to show an immunoregulatory activity against lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production. In the course of a search for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitory compounds from natural plants, we also isolated a prenylfavanone type of flavonoid, amoradicin,
As a part of screening studies for chemopreventive agents (anti-tumor-promoters), six North American plants belonging to the Amorpha genus were tested using an in vitro assay system. Of these plants, Amorpha fruticosa exhibited strong inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBA-EA)
BACKGROUND
Amorfrutin A is a natural product isolated from the fruits of Amorpha fruticosa L. and has been shown to exhibit multiple bioeffector functions. In the present study, we investigated whether amorfrutin A exerts anticancer effects by inhibiting STAT3 activation in cervical cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor, and the main cause of treatment failure is malignant proliferation. Aberrations in Wnt/β-catenin signaling are associated with HCC development. Despite the improvements in overall survival made over the past decade from the advent of
A new compound, rotenoid isoflavone glycoside named, 6'-O-beta-D: -glucopyranosyl-12a-hydroxydalpanol was isolated from the methanolic (MeOH) fruit extract of Amorpha fruticosa LINNE by means of multi-stage column chromatography. Immuno-modulatory activities of this new glycoside were compared with
NF-kappaB is known to play a crucial role in the regulation of genes controlling the immune system, apoptosis, tumor cell growth, and tissue differentiation. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the n-hexane-soluble fraction of a methanol extract of Amorpha fruticosa afforded four new compounds, 5, 7,
Amorpha fruticosa L. is a Chinese folk medicine and rich in polyphenols. Fifteen known compounds were isolated and identified from the leaves of A. fruticosa L. They are tephrosin (1), 6a,12a-dehydrodeguelin (2), vitexin (3), afrormosin-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), 2″-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl
Eight cytotoxic compounds have been isolated from the CHCl3 extract of Amorpha fruticosa. One compound, 6'-O-D-beta-glucopyranosyldalpanol [10], is a new cytotoxic rotenoid. Another known rotenoid, 12 alpha beta-hydroxyamorphigenin [6], was first shown to exhibit extremely potent cytotoxicity (ED50
BACKGROUND
Amorphigenin, a rotenoid compouns, from seeds of Amorpha fruticosa, has been shown to possess anti-proliferation activities in several cancer cells. To explore the antitumor effects of amorphigenin on cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP cells and explore the underlying
