Jatrophane diterpenes were shown to be inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). There are also evidences on their microtubule-interacting activity in cancer cells. We evaluated new anti-cancer characteristics of two jatrophane type compounds from Euphorbia dendroides. For that purpose, the model system
In this study, two Euphorbia species (i.e. terracina and paralias) were investigated for their cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. Cytotoxicity of plant methanol and chloroform fractions was examined towards human acute myeloid leukemia (THP1) and human colon epithelial (Caco2) cancer cell lines,
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
Euphorbia helioscopia L is considered a traditional Chinese herb which is widely distributed in China. The active anticancer fractions and anticancer mechanism of the herb are unclear. In this study, we evaluated the growth inhibitory effects of Euphorbia helioscopia L extracts on five different
Antitumor activity of the aquatic extract the root of Euphorbia helioscopia L (EWE) in Vitro were studied. Viable cells count, MTT staining and colonal formation assays of three kinds of cancer cells were used to assess the antitumor activity. Determined by viable cells count, the IC50 values of EWE
The aim of present study was to evaluate antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antitumor activities of methanol, hexane, and aqueous extracts of fresh Euphorbia royleana. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were estimated as gallic acid and querectin equivalents, respectively. Antioxidant activity was
Euphorbia tirucalli L. is widely used by Brazilian folk medicine, mainly for its anticancer activity. However, its commercialization was banned by The Brazilian National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) due to the presence of some compounds considered toxic, such as the diterpene Euphorbia tirucalli (Euphorbiaceae family) an environmental risk factor for Burkitt's lymphoma also has pharmacological activities. In the northeast of region in Brazil its latex is used as an antimicrobial, antiparasitic in the treatment of coughs, rheumatism, cancer and other disease as folk
A new strategy for the convergence of two-dimensional preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and real-time cell analysis (RTCA) was developed for rapidly separating and screening anti-tumor components from the ethyl acetate extract of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),
A simple, specific and reproducible liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the determination of jolkinolide B, a potential antitumor active component isolated from Euphorbia fischeriana, in rat plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved
The extract of seeds of Euphorbia lathyris L. showed antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180 ascites in mice. Systematic fractionation of the extract led to the characterization of ingenol-3-hexadecanoate as an active principle, together with an inactive diterpene ingenol-20-hexadecanoate.
Synadenium umbellatum Pax, popularly known as "cola-nota", is a medicinal plant that grows in tropical regions. The latex of this plant is used against various diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, leprosy, tripanosomiasis, leukemia, and several malignant tumors. The mutagenic, antimutagenic, and
Anti-carcinogenic potential of hydro-ethanolic extract of Euphorbia neriifolia (EN) leaves and an isolated flavonoid (ENF) was investigated against N-Nitrosodiethylamine (DENA)-induced renal carcinogenesis in mice. Experimental mice were pretreated with 150 and 400 mg/kg body wt of EN, 0.5% and 1%
