lonchocarpus obtusus/悪性腫瘍

The deregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a central event in colorectal cancer progression, thus a promising target for drug development. Many natural compounds, such as flavonoids, have been described as Wnt/β-catenin inhibitors and consequently modulate important biological

A molecular docking investigation has been carried out on cytotoxic prenylated flavonoids from Lonchocarpus haberi with cancer-relevant chemotherapeutic targets known to be inhibited by flavonoids. Two molecular docking programs, Molegro and ArgusDock, were used to compare the binding energies of

A new isoflavone, 4'-prenyloxyvigvexin A (1) and a new pterocarpan, (6aR,11aR)-3,8-dimethoxybitucarpin B (2) were isolated from the leaves of Lonchocarpus bussei and the stem bark of Lonchocarpus eriocalyx, respectively. The extract of L. bussei also gave four known isoflavones, maximaisoflavone H,

The aerial parts of L. cultratus were submitted to a phytopharmacological investigation in order to isolate and identify the major secondary metabolites and evaluate its crude extract, fractions and isolated compounds for antiproliferative activity. Seven compounds were isolated and

Cubé resin, the root extract from Lonchocarpus utilis and urucu, is an important insecticide, acaricide, and piscicide. The four major active ingredients are rotenone, deguelin, rotenolone, and tephrosin, totaling 77 wt %. As a commercial pesticide, the minor constituents are also of chemical

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors, and the extent of tumor hypoxia correlates with advanced disease stages and treatment resistance. The transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) represents an important tumor-selective molecular target for anticancer drug discovery directed

Rotenone and deguelin are the major active ingredients and principal components of cuberesin from Lonchocarpus utilis used as a botanical insecticide and piscicide. They are also potent complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) inhibitors. Rotenone was known earlier, and deguelin is shown here to

Activity-guided fractionation of a chloroform-soluble extract of Lonchocarpus aff. fluvialis stem bark using a human epidermoid (KB) tumour cell line as a monitor afforded five rotenoids, one pterocarpan, one chalcone, three flavanones, one flavone and one triterpenoid. All of the compounds isolated
