Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is highly expressed in breast carcinomas to support their continuous growth and proliferation, but has low expression level in normal tissues. Considerable interest has been developed in searching for novel FASN inhibitors as a therapeutic target for breast cancer. In
Amentoflavone, isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the whole plant of Selaginella tamariscina, a traditional herb, may exhibit antitumor activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the anticancer mechanism(s) of amentoflavone, such as mitochondria-mediated apoptotic cell death, in
Five selaginellin derivatives, including two new selaginellins termed selaginellins M (1) and N (2), and three previously identified compounds, selaginellin (3), selaginellin A (4), and selaginellin C (5), were isolated from the Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring plant. In addition, four known
