Pennogenyl saponins are the active compounds of large number of plant species and consequently many polyherbal formulations. Hence, great interest has been shown in their characterization and in the investigation of their pharmacological and biological properties, especially anticancer. This present
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the effects of polyphyllin D (PD), a natural compound with anti-neoplastic activity and a major component of the Chinese herb Paris polyphylla, on ovarian cancer (OVCA) cell line proliferation and platinum sensitivity.
METHODS
A panel of 20 OVCA cell lines was subjected to PD
Rhizoma Paridis saponin (RPS) had been regarded as the main active components responsible for the anti-tumor effects of the herb Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (Franch.) Hand.-Mazz. In the present research, we set up a rat model of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced hepatoma to evaluate antitumor
Polyphyllin D (PD), an active component from a traditional medicinal herb Paris polyphylla, which has long been used for the treatment of cancer in Asian countries, has been found to hold significant antitumor activity in vivo or in vitro. However, there were few reports on the effects and
Polyphyllin D (PD) is a potent anticancer agent isolated from a traditional medicinal herb Paris polyphylla that has been used in China for many years to treat cancer. PD is not a substrate of p-glycoprotein, and it can bypass the multi-drug resistance in cancer cell line R-HepG2. However, the
Formosanin-C, a diosgenin saponin, was isolated from a perennial herb, Paris formosana Hayata (Liliaceae) which has been used as a folk remedy for snake bite and as an anti-inflammatory or anti-neoplastic agent. Its effect on the development of S-antigen-induced experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU)
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children and adolescents. In spite of aggressive treatment, osteosarcoma has a high mortality rate with minimal improvements in survival over past few decades. Polyphyllin I (PPI), a component in the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Paris
BACKGROUND
Angiogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation, is critical to tumour growth. The importance of angiogenesis in tumour development has lead to the development of anti-angiogenic strategies to inhibit tumour growth. In this study, polyphyllin D (PD), an active component in Chinese
In a search for new anticancer agents, we identified a novel compound polyphyllin D (PD) (diosgenyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-(alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl)-(1-->4)]-[beta-D-glucopyranoside) that induced DNA fragmentation and phosphatidyl-serine (PS) externalization in a hepatocellular carcinoma
