Psorospermin is a plant natural product that shows significant in vivo activity against P388 mouse leukemia. The molecular basis for this selectivity is unknown, although psorospermin has been demonstrated to intercalate into DNA and alkylate N7 of guanine. Significantly, the alkylation reactivity
Psorospermin is a natural product that has been shown to have activity against drug-resistant leukemia lines and AIDS-related lymphoma. It has also been shown to alkylate DNA through an epoxide-mediated electrophilic attack, and this alkylation is greatly enhanced at specific sites by topoisomerase
An ethanolic extract of Psorospermum febrifugum was fractionated with antileukemic activity in vivo in the P388 lymphocytic leukemia in mice and in vitro in the KB cell culture system used as a guide. The new antileukemic xanthone psorospermin 1 was isolated, and its structure was elucidated. The
