Exploiting mitochondrial and oxidative vulnerabilities with a synthetic analog of pancratistatin in combination with piperlongumine for cancer therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Harsh adverse effects as a result of nonspecific targeting of chemotherapeutics currently pose obstacles in cancer therapy; thus, it would be invaluable to devise novel approaches to specifically target cancer cells. The natural compound pancratistatin (PST) has been shown to preferentially induce

Synergy of Pancratistatin and Tamoxifen on breast cancer cells in inducing apoptosis by targeting mitochondria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pancratistatin (PST), a natural compound obtained from the Hawaiian spider lily, is known to be specific and selective in inducing apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines while sparing noncancerous cells and cell lines. Here we report the ability of PST to induce apoptosis specifically in human

Induction of apoptotic cell death specifically in rat and human cancer cells by pancratistatin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The major challenge in the battle against cancer is the specific targeting of cancer cells. Most chemotherapeutics and radiotherapies induce cancer cell death by inducing DNA damage. These treatments also cause severe side effects by affecting normal cells causing toxicity and mutations that may

Sodium pancratistatin 3,4-o-cyclic phosphate, a water-soluble synthetic derivative of pancratistatin, is highly effective in a human colon tumor model.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sodium pancratistatin 3,4- O-cyclic phosphate ( 2) is a novel water-soluble synthetic derivative of pancratistatin ( 1), a natural alkaloid constituent of Amaryllidaceae plants, that exhibits good cytostatic and antineoplastic activity but is highly insoluble. Unlike most other natural alkaloids it

Pancratistatin Inhibits the Growth of Colorectal Cancer Cells by Inducing Apoptosis, Autophagy, and G2/M Cell Cycle Arrest.

BACKGROUND Worldwide, colorectal cancer is ranked as the third most prevalent cancer. The natural compound, pancratistatin, extracted from the spider lily, has previously been shown to target apoptosis in cancer cells lines. This study aimed to investigate the effects of pancratistatin in human

Cancer Cell Mitochondria Targeting by Pancratistatin Analogs is Dependent on Functional Complex II and III.

Enhanced mitochondrial stability and decreased dependence on oxidative phosphorylation confer an acquired resistance to apoptosis in cancer cells, but may present opportunities for therapeutic intervention. The compound pancratistatin (PST) has been shown to selectively induce apoptosis in cancer

Pancratistatin: a natural anti-cancer compound that targets mitochondria specifically in cancer cells to induce apoptosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The major hurdle in the fight against cancer is the non-specific nature of current treatments. The search for specific drugs that are non-cytotoxic to normal cells and can effectively target cancer cells has lead some researchers to investigate the potential anti-cancer activity of natural

A synthesis of 3-deoxydihydrolycoricidine: refinement of a structurally minimum pancratistatin pharmacophore.

Only registered users can translate articles

The synthesis of 3-deoxydihydrolycoricidine, a key element toward elucidation of the pancratistatin anticancer pharmacophore, is described. Biological evaluation of this compound showed it to be significantly less active against tumor cells than pancratistatin. In addition to those features

Studies directed towards the refinement of the pancratistatin cytotoxic pharmacophore.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two deoxy-analogues of the anticancer/antiviral agent pancratistatin containing functionality complementary to the minimum structural pharmacophore were synthesized and subjected to anticancer screening. One of the analogues exhibited selective inhibition of certain tumor cell lines but was

synthesis and biological evaluation of fully functionalized seco-pancratistatin analogues.

Only registered users can translate articles

The total synthesis of fully functionalized polyhydroxyamide B,C- seco-analogues of the anticancer compound pancratistatin (PST) ( 1) is reported. Key steps include an Evans' MgCl 2-promoted anti-aldol reaction between a functionalized l-threose derivative and ( R)-(+)-oxazolidinone to

Beneficial role of insect-derived bioactive components against inflammation and its associated complications (colitis and arthritis) and cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Insect-based bioactive components are emerging as novel sources of drugs, effective against various diseases. Inflammation is considered to be an innate immune response developed by different organisms against foreign pathogens and cellular stress. However, repetitive elevated inflammation is

Sensitization of human melanoma cells by tamoxifen to apoptosis induction by pancratistatin, a nongenotoxic natural compound.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the natural compound pancratistatin (PST), isolated from the Hymenocallis littoralis, in human melanoma cells. Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer that is commonly fatal if not diagnosed in its early stage of development.

A novel synthetic C-1 analogue of 7-deoxypancratistatin induces apoptosis in p53 positive and negative human colorectal cancer cells by targeting the mitochondria: enhancement of activity by tamoxifen.

Only registered users can translate articles

The natural compound pancratistatin (PST), isolated from the Hymenocallis littoralis plant, specifically induces apoptosis in many cancer cell lines. Unlike many other chemotherapeutics, PST is not genotoxic and has minimal adverse effects on non-cancerous cells. However, its availability for

Pancratistatin induces apoptosis in clinical leukemia samples with minimal effect on non-cancerous peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Pancratistatin, a natural compound extracted from Hymenocallis littoralis, can selectively induce apoptosis in several cancer cell lines. In this ex vivo study, we evaluated the effect of pancratistatin on peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 15 leukemia patients prior to

Selective cytotoxicity of pancratistatin-related natural Amaryllidaceae alkaloids: evaluation of the activity of two new compounds.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Pancratistatin (PST), a compound extracted from an Amaryllidaceae (AMD) family plant, has been shown to specifically induce apoptosis in cancer cells with no/minimal toxic effect on normal cells. A systematic synthetic approach has indicated that the minimum cytotoxic pharmacophore
