Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. However, gastric cancer (GC) cells are insensitive to TRAIL usually. In the previous study, we showed that Periplocin could induce apoptosis
Periplocin is one of cardenolides isolated from cortex periplocae which is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and reinforcement of bones and tendons in traditional medicine. Here, we investigated the anti-tumor activity of periplocin against lung cancer cells bothin vitro and in vivo, and
OBJECTIVE
Periplocin is extracted from the traditional herbal medicine cortex periplocae, which has been reported to suppress the growth of cancer cells. However, little is known about its effect on gastric cancer cells.
METHODS
Gastric cancer cells were treated with periplocin, and cell viability
Cancer of the colon and rectum is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and accounts for approximately 10% of all cancer-related deaths. Although surgical resection or radiotherapy are potentially curative for localized disease, advanced colon cancer is currently associated with poor prognosis.
BACKGROUND
Periplocin is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, reinforcement of bones and tendons, palpitations or shortness of breath and lower extremity edema in traditional medicine. Our previous findings suggested that periplocin could inhibit the growth of lung cancer both in vitro and in
Periplocin, an active and toxic component of the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Periploca sepium Bge, is a cardiac glycoside compound that has been implicated in various clinical accidents. This study investigated the role of transporters in the intestinal absorption and biliary excretion of
Periplocin is a cardiac glycoside and has been used widely in the clinic for its cardiotonic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Although it is taken frequently by oral administration in the clinic, there have been no reports demonstrating that periplocin could be detected in vivo after an
Cortex periplocae is the dried root bark of Periploca sepium Bge., a traditional Chinese herb medicine. It contains high amounts of cardiac glycosides. Several cardiac glycosides have been reported to inhibit tumor growth or induce tumor cell apoptosis. We extracted and purified cortex periplocae
Background: Periploca sepium is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat particularly rheumatic disorders and as a tonic. Periplocin was found as the most cytotoxic compound of its root bark and induced death receptor mediated
BACKGROUND
During a screening of Chinese plants traditionally used for the treatment of cancer and related diseases, extracts of the root bark of Periploca sepium Bunge showed strong cytotoxic activity.
OBJECTIVE
Isolate and identify cytotoxic compounds from P. sepium and investigate the effects and
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. With currently available therapies, only 20% ~ 30% patients can survive this disease for more than 5 years. TRAIL, a natural ligand for death receptors that can induce the apoptosis of cancer cells, has been Stable transformants of Saos-2 cells that contain the luciferase reporter gene under the control of the human p16INK4a transcriptional regulatory region were established, and were used to identify growth-inhibiting substances from culture broths of actinomycetes and extracts of plants. Among the
Periplocae Cortex is a traditional Chinese medicine in China, which is mainly produced in northeast China, north China, northwest China, southwest China. In recent years, the increasing in-depth research resulted in the discovery of anti-tumor and cardiac pharmacological activities of Periplocae
Nine cardiotonic steroids, six 17beta-cardenolides (2, 4, 6-9) and three 17alpha-cardenolides (1, 3, 5) have been identified from the chloroform and chloroform-methanol extracts of Periploca graeca L. (Asclepiadaceae) stems. Among these, compound 5, the 17alpha-isomer of periplocin 6, was identified
OBJECTIVE
Cardenoliddes are steroid glycosides which are known to exert cardiotonic effects by inhibiting the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. Several of these compounds have been shown also to possess anti-tumor potential. The aim of the present work was the characterization of the tumor cell growth inhibition
