euscaphic acid/悪性腫瘍

As an attempt to search for bioactive natural products exerting anti-inflammatory activity, we have evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of euscaphic acid (19α-hydroxyursane-type triterpenoids, EA) isolated from roots of Rosa rugosa and its underlying molecular mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide

Activity-guided fractionations of Jatropha macrantha Müll. Arg. led to the isolation of pomolic acid (1) and euscaphic acid (2). The potential for inhibition against NF-κB and HIF-1α production of these two compounds was tested in different tumour cell lines. Compounds 1

Twelve known triterpenoids (1-12) and two steroids (13 and 14) have been isolated from the spike of the plant Prunella vulgaris. Among them, 2α,3α,23-trihydroxyursa-12,20(30)-dien-28-oic acid (10) was isolated for the first time from this plant. All isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory

Two anti-inflammatory triterpenoids, tormentic acid (TA) and euscaphic acid (EA), were found from the plant Rubus sieboldii. These triterpenoids showed an inhibitory effect against enzymes involved in replication, such as calf DNA polymerase alpha (pol alpha) and rat DNA polymerase beta (pol beta).

Seven triterpenes (1-7), i.e., betulinic acid 1, ursolic acid 2, oleanolic acid 3, 3-O-caffeoyloleanolic acid 4, euscaphic acid 5, 2 alpha-hydroxyursolic acid 6 and maslinic acid 7 were isolated from the stem bark extract of P. intermedius as active principles responsible for the cytotoxicity

The cytotoxicity of four triterpenoids, euscaphic acid (1), tormentic acid (2), 2alpha-acetyl tormentic acid (3), and 3beta-acetyl tormentic acid (4), isolated from the roots of Cecropia lyratiloba (Moraceae) by countercurrent chromatography, was evaluated in vitro in sensitive and multidrug

We previously reported that extract of Rosa rugosa root and its active triterpenoids constituents exhibit anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models. However, little is known about the effects and the molecular mechanism of the 19α-hydroxyursane-type triterpenoids. Among the

Sixteen triterpene acids, viz., five of the oleanane-type (1-5), nine of the ursane-type (6-14), and two of the lupane-type (15, 16), were isolated and identified from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the leaves of loquat, Eriobotrya japonica LINDL. (Rosaceae). Twelve of
