Shikimic acid (SA), a widely-known hydroaromatic compound enriched in Bracken fern and Illicium verum (also known as Chinese star anise), increases the risk of gastric and esophageal carcinoma, nevertheless, the influence of SA on breast cancer remains indistinct. Herein we found that, with models
The in vitro cytotoxic activity on human cancer cell lines of sixteen commercial EOs such as Aloysia triphylla , Boswellia carterii , Boswellia serrata , Cinnamomum zeylanicum , Cistus ladanifer , Citrus × aurantium , Citrus limon , Citrus sinensis , Cymbopogon citratus , Foeniculum vulgare ,
In our joint project involving search of anti-tumor promoters from natural plant sources, six phenylpropanoids and seven phytoquinoids isolated from three Illicium plants (Illiciaceae) were tested for their inhibitory activities against Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by
Two new menthane monoterpenes, wardicines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the fruits of Illicium wardii A.C. Smith. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis. Cytotoxicities of compounds 1 and 2 against three human tumor cell lines A549, HCT-116, and CCRF-CEM
trans-Anethole, the major bioactive component of Illicium verum Hook. commonly known as star anise exhibits various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, insecticidal, and antitumor. Osteosarcoma is an extremely aggressive malignant bone tumor that
Two new sesquiterpenes (1, 2) and two new sesquiterpene glycosides (3, 4) with a seco-prezizaane skeleton, three new allo-cedrane sesquiterpene glycosides (5-7), and a new acorane sesquiterpene (8) as well as 15 known analogues were isolated from the roots of Illicium jiadifengpi used for the
The bioassay-guided fractionation of preventive agents against lethality due to septic shock from the fruits of Illicium verum led to the isolation of two known racemic mixtures of phenylpropanoids, [1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-(1 R,2 S and 1 S,2 R)-propanediol (1) and 1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-(1 R,2 R and 1
OBJECTIVE
To study the constituents and bioactivity of Illicium simonsii.
METHODS
The extracts of the fruits of Illicium simonsii were submitted to a combination of chromatographic materials, silica gel, ODS column chromatography and finally preparative HPLC to obtain eight compounds which were
Six allo-cedrane sesquiterpenes, four seco-prezizaane-type sesquiterpenes, two monocyclofarnesane sesquiterpenes, together with four known sesquiterpenes, were isolated from the roots of Illicium dunnianum. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR. The absolute
Two new sesqui-neolignans with novel conjugation way, simonol A (1), featuring a unique motif of a 5,5-dihydro-pyran with a hemiketal carbon, while simonol B (2) possessing two dihydronfuran rings in the same direction, were isolated from the ethanol extract of the fruits of Illicium simonii. Their
Twenty-one compounds including seven characteristic sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from Illicium simonsii and screened in vitro for their potential to restore the sensitivity of Adriamycin (ADR) resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/ADR) and 5-fluorouracil-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma
Fruits are a rich source of antioxidants and traditional Chinese fruits have been studied for their chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic properties against cancers and other diseases. The total phenol and flavonoid contents of eleven Chinese fruits extracts were determined. Total phenolic and
A pair of new 3,4;9,10-seco-cycloartane type triterpenoid stereoisomerides: 24R,25-dihydroxy-3,4;9,10-seco-4(28)-cycloarten-10,3-olide (1) named Illiciumolide A and 24S,25-dihydroxy-3,4;9,10-seco-4(28)-cycloarten-10,3-olide (2) named Illiciumolide B were isolated from the stem bark of Illicium
BACKGROUND
Illicium verum is a traditional herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties used in Asia. However, its usefulness in the treatment of allergic diseases remains unclear. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects of I. verum extract (IVE) in a mouse model of
Anethole [1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene] occurs naturally as a major component of the essential oil of star anise (Illicium verum Hook.f., family Illiciaceae), comprising more than 90 % of its volatile components. Studies showed that this substance has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and
