Context: Radix Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (Celastraceae) (LGT) has outstanding curative efficacy; however, side effects include high toxicity, particularly hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Objective: To investigate detoxification mechanisms of LGT through processing
Osteosarcoma is a common malignant bone tumor occurring in adolescents and children. The poor prognosis and low 5-year survival rate of osteosarcoma partly due to high metastasis of osteosarcoma. Triptolide (TPL), an extract from Tripterygium wilfordii, is widely used in cancer treatment. In our
Triptolide (TPL), a diterpenoid triepoxide purified from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, has been reported to potentiate the anti-tumor effect in various cancer cells. However, the effect of TPL on oral cancers is not yet evaluated. Herein we first demonstrate that TPL induces
Angiogenesis is essential for the survival and growth of most tumors. As such, targeting the tumor neovasculature is an attractive strategy for effective cancer therapy. Angiogenesis inhibitors have strong therapeutic potential as antitumor agents in suppressing tumor growth and metastatic
Many anticancer drugs are obtained from natural sources. Nature produces a variety of toxic compounds, which are often used as anticancer drugs. Up to now, there are at least 120 species of poisonous botanicals, animals and minerals, of which more than half have been found to possess significant
A new component of antitumor action TG has been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Tripterygium wilfordii (besides Triptolide, Tripdiolide and Triptonide). TG was shown in this study to have obvious antitumor effects. The average life span of H22, S180, EAC and breast carcinoma-bearing mice
Triptolide, a highly oxygenated diterpene isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f. (Celastraceae), has been shown to demonstrate potent antileukemic activity in rodent models at remarkably low treatment doses. A variety of other physiological responses are known to be mediated by this compound,
The thunder god vine or Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. is a representative Chinese medicinal herb which has been used widely and successfully for centuries in treating inflammatory diseases. More than 100 components have been isolated from this plant, and most of them have potent therapeutic
One of the diverse biological activities of triptolide, a diterpene from Tripterygium wilfordii, is its antitumor effect. We recently reported its in vitro cytotoxicity against several cultured tumor cell lines. Limited availability of purified fraction has prevented detailed investigation on its
OBJECTIVE
To screen the anti-tumor active parts from Tripterygium hypoglaucum by anti-tumor experimental model in vivo and in vitro.
METHODS
Ethanol extraction was separated and purified by column chromatography of ion polymeric adsorbent and macroporous adsorptive resins. MTT assay and the
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct and highly aggressive subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Dihydrocelastrol (DHCE) is a dihydro-analog of celastrol, which is isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii. The present study aimed to investigate the effects
1. Bioactive compounds from medicinal plants with anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects have become key resources in drug discovery fields for the treatment of various malignancies and immunological disorders. 2. Tripterygium wilfordii (TW) is a medicinal plant that exhibits profound
Triptolide, the main active ingredient in Tripterygium wilfordiiHook. f. (Celastraceae), has shown promising effects against a variety of tumors. However, the molecular pharmacological mechanisms explaining the action of triptolide remain unknown. In this study, the CT26 colon tumor
Tumors are major chronic diseases and seriously threaten human health all over the world. How to effectively control and cure tumors is one of the most pivotal problems in the medical field. At present,surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still the main treatment methods. However,the side
BACKGROUND
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a critical transcription factor to reduced O2 availability, has been demonstrated to be extensively involved in tumor survival, aggressive progression, drug resistance and angiogenesis. Thus it has been considered as a potential anticancer target.
