Twelve taxane diterpenes (1-12), which were isolated previously from the EtOH extract of the aerial parts of Taxus yunnanensis or Taxus chinensis, were evaluated for cytotoxicity against the multidrug resistant cancer cells KB-VIN and KB-7d. Compounds and showed significant cytotoxicity in these
Cancer has been major challenge for healthcare sector for a long time. The use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy has its obvious side effects. The scientists have been looking to natural remedies for the treatment of cancer. There have been significant discoveries in this direction such as
Taxus species are well-known for paclitaxel, which exhibits antitumor activities and is used for treating various cancers. Although most Taxus species are widespread in many areas, few studies have characterized the variation in metabolism among different Taxus species. Using an integrated approach
Three hitherto unknown taxane diterpenoids, namely baccatin VIII (1), baccatin IX (2), and baccatin X (3), along with 10 known analogues were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the twigs and leaves of Taxus yunnanensis. The new structures were characterized based on extensive spectroscopic
New sources for the antitumor natural product taxol [1] are needed as demands for this promising cancer chemotherapeutic agent increase. Presently, supplies of taxol for clinical studies are obtained from the bark of Taxus brevifolia, a potentially limited source. Using analytical methods, the
Background: Taxus is a valuable woody species with important medicinal value. The bark of Taxus can produce taxol, a natural antineoplastic drug that is widely used in the treatment of breast, ovarian and lung cancers. However, the low
A taxine, 5 alpha O-(3'-dimethylamino-3'-phenylpropionyl) taxinine M (1) together with two known compounds 7-O-acetyltaxine A (2) and 2 alpha-acetoxy-2' beta-deacetylaustrospicatine (3) were isolated from the needles of the Himalayan yew, Taxus wallichiana Zucc. Their structures were elucidated on
Phytochemical investigation of taxane diterpenoidal content of an acetone extract of the leaves and twigs of Taxus sumatrana has resulted in the isolation of three new taxoid compounds, tasumatrols E (1), F (2), and G (3) together with 13 known taxanes (5-16). The structures of these taxanes as well
The Taxus cuspidate has been used as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb and considered to affect various physiological functions in the body for thousands of years. As we know that taxol isolated from the Taxus cuspidate has been approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer, it has also shown its
The ethanolic extract of the bark of Taxus yunnanensis Cheng et L. K. Fu. showed significant antineoplastic effect on the transplantable tumors in mice. The life survival of P388 leukemic bearing mice was increased (84%) and the growth of B16 melanoma in mice was inhibited (53%). From this extract
Two new taxoids, taxumairols A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from extracts of the roots of Formosan Taxus mairei (Lemee & Levl.) S. Y. Hu. The structures of 1 and 2 were identified as 5 alpha, 7 beta, 9 alpha, 10 beta, 13 alpha-pentaacetoxy-20-(benzoyloxy)- 2 alpha, 4 alpha-dihydroxytax-11-ene
Chemical investigation of the acetonic extract of the leaves and twigs of Taxus sumatrana (Taxaceae) led to the isolation of four new taxane diterpene esters, taiwantaxins A-D (1-4, resp.). Their structures were determined primarily on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques as well as MS. Compound 1
Three new 11(15-->1)-abeo-taxanes, taxumairols U-W (1-3), have been isolated from extracts of the stem bark of Formosan Taxus mairei. The structures of 1-3 were identified as 5alpha,7beta,9alpha,13alpha,20-pentaacetoxy-2alpha,10beta,15-trihydroxy-11(15-->1)-abeo-taxene,
OBJECTIVE

METHODS
MTT assay for cell viability and flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis.
RESULTS
MTT results showed that the extact by dichloromethane was
