To search for possible anti-tumor-promoters, we carried out the primary screening of seventeen diterpenes (1-17) isolated from the resinous wood of Excoecaria agallocha (Euphorbiaceae) using an in vitro synergistic assay system. Of these diterpenes, ent-16-hydroxy-3-oxo-13-epi-manoyloxide (5),

Eight new diterpenoids (1-8) have been isolated from the wood of Excoecaria agallocha (Euphorbiaceae) and their inhibitory effects on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) in Raji cells were examined to search for potent anti-tumor-promoters from natural resources. Of these

The current study describes a simple, rapid and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Excoecaria agallocha (E. agallocha) leaf extract as stabilizer, bioreductant and capping agent. Synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray

A new kaurane diterpenoid, 3alpha,18-dihydroxy-3beta,20-epoxykaur-15-ene (1), was isolated from the aerial parts of Excoecaria acerifolia (Euphorbiaceae) together with 16 known compounds. Their structures were identified by extensive spectral analysis, especially 2D NMR techniques. Antiangiogenic

A new oleanane-type triterpenoid (1) and five known pentacyclic triterpenoids (2-6) were isolated from the leaves of Excoecaria agallocha. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. The new compound was characterized as 3beta-[(2E,4E)-5-oxo-decadienoyloxy]-olean-12-ene (1).

A new and more efficient procedure was developed to obtain 5 beta-hydroxyresiniferonol-6 alpha,7 alpha-epoxide- 9,13,14-ortho(2,4,6-decatrienoate) [Excoecaria factor O1] by alkaline transesterification of corresponding 20-ester(s) genuinely present in latex of Excoecaria oppositifolia. It was

The inhibition of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has emerged as an anti-cancer strategy. Three flavonoid glycosides including 2 new compounds (1-2) were isolated from Excoecaria agallocha as Hedgehog/GLI1-mediated transcriptional inhibitors and exhibited cytotoxicity against human pancreatic

Fourteen compounds were isolated from 95% ethanol extract by silica gel, MCI, and ODS column chromatography. These compounds were respectively identified as quercetin (1), kaempferol (2), (+)-catechin (3), fraxin (4), protocatechuic acid (5), gallic acid (6), methyl gallate (7), ethyl gallate (8),

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered to be a silent killer, and was the fourth leading global cause of cancer deaths in 2018. For now, sorafenib is the only approved drug for advanced HCC treatment. The introduction of additional chemopreventive agents and/or adjuvant therapies may be

A new tigliane diterpenoid, acerifolin A (1), and a new isopimarane diterpenoid, acerifolin B (2), together with two known compounds, were isolated from Excoecaria acerifolia. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques. All of the

BACKGROUND Development of novel strategies to kill cancer by sparing normal cells is of utmost importance. Apart from their known antimicrobial activity, only limited information has been recorded regarding the antitumor potential of biocompatible silver oxide nanoparticles (AgONPs). There is a need

OBJECTIVE To investigate the chemical constituents of Excoecaria acerifclia and their antitumor activities. METHODS The constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography. Their structures were identified by their physicochemical properties and spectral features. Cytotoxicities of the
