A new withanolide identified by spectroscopic analysis as 12beta-acetoxy-4-deoxy-5,6-deoxy-Delta(5)-withanolide D and Withanolide D, were isolated from the leaves of Acnistus arborescens. Cytotoxic activity of these two compounds against human tumor cell lines HT-29, MCF-7, MKN-45, HEp-2, HeLa,
Three withaphysalins, rel-(17S,20R,22R)-5 beta,6 beta:18,20-diepoxy-4 beta-hydroxy-1,18-dioxowitha-2,24-dienolide(withaphysalin M) (1), rel-(17S,20R,22R)-5 beta,6 beta:18,20-diepoxy-4 beta-hydroxy-18-ethoxy-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide (withaphysalin F ethyl ether, withaphysalin O) (2), and
Phytochemical analysis of the leaves of Acnistus arborescens (Solanaceae) resulted in the isolation of two new epimeric withaphysalins (17S,20R,22R)-5beta,6beta: 18,20-diepoxy-4beta,18-dihydroxy-1-oxowitha-24-enolide (2, 18R and 18S), together with the known withaphysalin F (1, 18R and 18S). Their
Withaphysalins are C(28)-steroidal lactones structurally based on the ergostane skeleton that possess antiproliferative activity against tumor cell lines. In the present study, the antileukemic actvity of withaphysalin O (1), M (2), and N (3) isolated from Acnistus arborescens, against two leukemic
Many compounds used in the treatment of cancer possess tubulin-interacting properties that lead to mitotic arrest. Withaphysalins are potent cytotoxic compounds that are commonly found in plants belonging to the Solanaceae family, such as Acnistus arborescens; however, the cytotoxic mechanisms or
Seven withanolides, including four previously unknown, were isolated from the acetone and ethanol extracts of cultivated specimens of Acnistus arborescens. These four compounds were identified as rel-(18R,22R)-5β,6β:18β,20-diepoxy-3β,18α-dimethoxy-4β-hydroxy-1-oxowith-24-enolide,
