taxus yunnanensis/유방암

α-Conidendrin is a polyphenolic compound found mainly in Taxus yunnanensis, as the source of chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, which has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity and molecular mechanisms of α-conidendrin on breast

A new and 25 known taxane diterpenoids were isolated from the dried whole plants of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei cultivated in the southern area of the Yangtze River in China. The chemical structure of new compound 1, named taxiwallinine, was established by means of MS and NMR analyses. Among the

Absolute configuration of taxiresinol 1, a lignan from the heartwood of Taxus wallichiana has been determined as 8R, 8'R, and 7'R with the help of chemical correlation method and X-ray crystallography. The anticancer activity of taxiresinol 1 and other two lignans 2, 3 were also studied. Taxiresinol

The taxane diterpneoid 2-deacetoxytaxinine J (2-DAT-J) 1 has been isolated from the bark of Himalayan yew, Taxus baccata L. spp. wallichiana in a reasonably good yield (0.1%) and its anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and normal human kidney epithelial cell
