Eleven dauricine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer effect in different cancer cells and their autophagic activity in HeLa model cell. Among these newly synthesized compounds, carbamates 2a, 2b, carbonyl ester 3a and sulfonyl ester 4a exhibited potent cytotoxic effects
Autophagy is a cellular bulk degradation pathway implicated in various diseases. Inhibition of autophagy has been regarded as a new therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, especially in combination with chemotherapy. In our study, we identified two natural compounds, dauricine (DAC) and
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant cancer associated with high expression levels of sonic hedgehog signaling molecule (Shh), patched 1 (Ptch1), smoothened frizzled class receptor (Smo) and glioma-associated oncogene family zinc finger 1 (Gli1) in the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. Inhibition
OBJECTIVE
To explore the anti-tumor effects of asiatic moonseed rhizome extraction-dauricine on bladder cancer EJ cell strain, prostate cancer PC-3Mcell strain and primary cell culture system.
METHODS
The main effective component-phenolic alkaloids ofMenispermum dauricum was extracted and separated
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of dauricine (Dau) on insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-induced hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).
METHODS
Serum-starved MCF-7 cells were pretreated for 1
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a challenging clinical problem worldwide characterized by severe pulmonary inflammation. Dauricine, extracted from the root of traditional Chinese medicine Menispermum dauricum DC, is employed as anti-inflammatory herbs. In this study, we explored the inhibitory effects of
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is derived from the proximal tubules of nephrons, is one of the most common solid cancers. Due to its inherent insensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, surgery remains the only curative strategy for RCC. Therefore, a novel strategy for treating RCC is
OBJECTIVE
To study whether tetrandrine (Tet) and dauricine (Dau) can reduce doxorubicin (Dox) resistance in the harringtonine (Har)-resistant human leukemia cells.
METHODS
The drug cytotoxities were determined by counting cell numbers and colony formation. Cell cycle phases were assayed by flow
The rhizome of Menispermum dauricum DC known as a traditional Chinese medicine, with high content of alkaloids, has been found to possess antitumor activity. In this research, an attempt to correlate fingerprinting with bioactivity was made for quality control of M. dauricum. Firstly, the
Conflicts with the notion that specific substrate interactions were required in the control of reaction path in active transport systems, P-glycoprotein showed extraordinarily low specificity. Therefore, overexpression P-glycoprotein excluded a large number of anticancer agents from cancer cells,
Resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is a significant problem in oncology, and the development of sensitising agents or small-molecules with new mechanisms of action to kill these cells is needed. Autophagy is a cellular process responsible for the turnover of misfolded proteins or damaged
