Three new phenylpropanoids (1-3) together with six known congeners (4-9) were isolated from the bark of Juglans mandshurica Maxim using anti-hepatoma activity as a guide. Their structures were determined by comprehensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic data analyses. All the isolated compounds were
In our joint project in the search for anti-tumor promoters from natural plant sources, we carried out a primary screening of 12 phenylpropanoids isolated from Boronia pinnata Sm. (Rutaceae) by examining their possible inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation
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
Glossogyne tenuifolia has been shown to exhibit good antioxidant and anticancer activity. In this study, a new phenylpropanoid compound, glossogin (1'-acetoxy-4-O-isovalyryleugenol), was isolated from ethyl acetate extract of G. tenuifolia by using column chromatography and HPLC. Its chemical
To search for cancer chemopreventive agents from natural resources, many phytochemicals have been screened using the in vitro synergistic assay indicated by the inhibitory effects on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Two
Combination therapy is the most effective treatment strategy in cancer to overcome drug toxicity and drug induced resistance. The effect of eight phenylpropanoids in combination with 5-fluorouracil against the cervical cancer cells (HeLa) is reported here. The cytotoxic activity of these
One new naturally occurring quinone, 3',4'-dihydroxy-1,2,6-trimethoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4(1H)-one (1), one new diarylpropane, emarginone A (2), and one new neolignan, emarginone B (3), along with eighteen known compounds have been isolated from the chemical investigation of
Oxyprenylated compounds (i.e., ferulic acid and coumarin derivatives) demonstrate neuroprotection and anticancer properties as reported in previous studies. We have tested the affinity of oxyprenylated ferulic acid (1-4) and umbelliferone derivatives (5-11) to melatonin receptors as well as their
The aim of the present study is to isolate bioactive compounds from the roots of Piper sarmentosum and examine the mechanism of action using human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Bioassay guided-fractionation of methanolic extract led to the isolation of asaricin (1) and isoasarone (2).
Three new phenylpropanoids, 3-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-oxopropyl acetate (1), 3-hydroxy-1-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-methylphenyl)propan-1-one (2), and 3-hydroxy-1-(4-methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl) propan-1-one (3), together with three known phenylpropanoids (4-6) were isolated from the whole plant
Two new phenylpropanoids, named stytonkinol A (1) and stytonkinol B (2), have been isolated from the resin of Styrax tonkinensis (Pierre) Craib ex Hartw. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS. Two isolated compounds were assayed for
Phytochemical analyses of the chloroform extract of Piper betle L. var. birkoli, Piperaceae, leaves led to the isolation of two new phenylpropanoid analogues: bis-chavicol dodecanoyl ester (2) and bis-hydroxychavicol dodecanoyl ester (3), along with one known compound:
BACKGROUND
Cachexia has a devastating impact on survival and quality of life for many cancer patients and contributes to nearly one-third of all cancer deaths; also, it is associated with poor responses to chemotherapy and survival. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of
Five new phenylpropanoid glycosides, susaroysides A-E (1-5) were isolated from the fruits of Forsythia suspensa. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configurations of their sugars were determined by GC analysis. Notably, susaroysides A-D
Radiotherapy, frequently used for treatment of solid tumors, carries two main obstacles including acquired radioresistance in cancer cells during radiotherapy and normal tissue injury. Phenylpropanoids, which are naturally occurring phytochemicals found in plants, have been identified as potential
