16-Epi-Z-isositsirikine (1) has been isolated from the leaves of Catharanthus roseus and Rhazya stricta and identified through a combination of spectral interpretation and chemical correlation. The compound displayed antineoplastic activity in the KB test system in vitro and the P-388 test system in
Background: Rhazya stricta has been used as a folkloric medicinal herb for treating various diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory disorders, and sore throat. Several studies have revealed the potential of this plant as an important source of phytochemicals with anticancer properties.
BACKGROUND
Here, we determined in vitro antioxidant activity, total phenols and flavonoids and evaluated antiproliferative activity of three medicinal plant extracts: Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek), Cassia acutifolia (Senna) and Rhazya stricta (Harmal).
METHODS
The leaves of the three
The leaves and roots of Rhazya stricta (Apocynaceae) yielded four indole alkaloids. Three of these isolated, vallesiachotamine (1), sewarine (3) and tetrahydrosecamine (4), displayed cytotoxic activity; polyneuridine (2) was not reported previously from this species. Tetrahydrosecaminediol (5), its
Rhazya stricta is an evergreen shrub that is widely distributed across Western and South Asia, and like many other members of the Apocynaceae produces monoterpene indole alkaloids that have anti-cancer properties. This species is adapted to very harsh desert conditions making it an excellent system
There is an urgent need to improve the clinical management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), one of the most frequent causes of cancer-related deaths in men and women worldwide. Rhazya stricta, an important medicinal plant used in traditional Oriental medicine, possesses anti-oxidant,
Hitherto, limited clinical impact has been achieved in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBMs). Although phytochemicals found in medicinal herbs can provide mankind with new therapeutic remedies, single agent intervention has failed to bring the expected outcome in clinical trials. Therefore,
Cancer is a complicateddisease that reveals genetic variability even among the cells within the same tumor. Pancreatic cancer is the 12th cause of cancer deaths over the world. As a result of the incomplete recovery and the many side effects of current clinical treatment approaches, Herbal diet
Beta-carboline alkaloids present in Peganum harmala (harmal) have recently drawn attention due to their antitumor activities. The mechanistic studies indicate that beta-carboline derivatives inhibit DNA topoisomerases and interfere with DNA synthesis. They interact with DNA via both groove binding
UNASSIGNED
Neuroblastoma (NB) is an early childhood malignancy that arises from the developing sympathetic nervous system. Harmine is a tricyclic β-carboline alkaloid isolated from the harmal plant that exhibits both cytostatic and cytotoxic effects. Harmine is capable of blocking the activities of
Rhazya stricta is a unique medicinal plant source for many indole alkaloids, non-alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes and other unknown molecules with tremendous potential for therapeutic applications against many diseases. In the present article, we generated computational data on predictive
Harmine, a beta-carboline alkaloid, is widely distributed in the plants, marine creatures, insects, mammalians as well as in human tissues and body fluids. Harmine was originally isolated from seeds of Peganum harmal in 1847 having a core indole structure and a pyridine ring. Harmine has various
Rhazya stricta Decne. is an important medicinal species that is rich in alkaloids containing anticancer alkaloids also. This paper reviews phytochemical, pharmacological and ethnobotanical studies of R. stricta. Phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of the species have been thoroughly explored.
