OBJECTIVE
To prepare (-)-Antofine liposomes with high activity and good water-soluble and study its anti-breast cancer activity both in vitro and in vivo.
METHODS
(-)-Antofine liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method, the encapsulation efficiency of (-)-Antofine liposomes were determined by
We have studied the anti-cancer activities of antofine N-oxide isolated and purified from the medicinal plant Cynanchum vincetoxicum. Antofine N-oxide displayed a strong inhibitory effect on several solid tumor cell lines (glioblastoma, breast carcinoma and lung carcinoma) and on a T-cell leukemia
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in effective chemotherapy for cancer patients. The expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cancer cells is highly correlated with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. (-)-Antofine, a phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid derived from Cynanchum paniculatum,
Based on the potential of natural products as a source for the development of cancer chemotherapeutic agents, this study was performed to investigate the anti-proliferative and antitumor effects of antofine, a phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid derived from Cynanchum paniculatum. Antofine showed potent
Novel heteroatom-incorporated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues were designed, synthesized, and tested against a panel of five cancer cell lines. Two new S-13-oxo analogues (11 and 16) exhibited potent cell growth inhibition in vitro (GI(50): 9 nM and 20 nM). Interestingly, both compounds
Two known phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, (-)-(R)-13aalpha-antofine (1) and (-)-(R)-13aalpha-6-O-desmethylantofine (2), and two new natural products, (-)-(R)-13aalpha-secoantofine (3) and (-)-(R)-13aalpha-6-O-desmethylsecoantofine (4), were isolated from Cynanchum vincetoxicum. The structures of
A concise, efficient and modular approach to the tylophora alkaloids is described, a family of potent cytotoxic agents that are equally effective against drug sensitive and multidrug resistant cancer cell lines. The advantages of the chosen route are illustrated by the total syntheses of the
Starting with an extract derived from the root of Cynanchum paniculatum Kitagawa (Asclepiadaceae) that was active in the process of inhibiting the growth of human cancer cells in culture, a phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid antofine was isolated and identified as an active principle (IC50 = 7.0 +/-
New water soluble antofine C-13a analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against cancer cells. Particularly, (-)-(R)-13a-hydroxymethylantofine ((-)-(R)-4b) demonstrated notable growth inhibition against a panel of human cancer cell lines. This growth
Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase for hepatocyte growth factor. Met mutations have been considered as a major cause of primary resistance to Met tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Mutated Met enhances its endosomal signaling, which includes internalization, signaling within endosomes, recycling to
Due to their profound antiproliferative activity and unique mode of action, phenanthroindolizidine and phenanthroquinolizidine alkaloids, represented by antofine and cryptopleurine, have attracted attention recently as potential therapeutic agents. We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated the
Various E-ring hydroxylated antofine and cryptopleurine analogues were designed, synthesized, and tested against five human cancer cell lines. Interesting structure-activity relationship (SAR) correlations were found among these new compounds. The most potent compound 13b was further tested against
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the cytotoxic ethanol extract of Cryptocarya chinensis has led to the isolation of 11 compounds, including two phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids [(-)-antofine (1) and dehydroantofine (2)], five pavine alkaloids (3-7), and four proaporphine alkaloids (8-11). The
Phenanthroindolizidine and phenanthroquinolizidine derivatives constitute a series of compounds that are being intensively studied as potential anticancer agents. Related natural products such as antofine and tylophorine alkaloids are well known for their high cytotoxic activity; however, their
Two previously known phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, (-)-10beta-antofine N-oxide (1) and (-)-10beta, 13aalpha-14beta-hydroxyantofine N-oxide (2), and a novel alkaloid, (-)-10beta,13aalpha-secoantofine N-oxide (3), were isolated from aerial parts of Cynanchum vincetoxicum. Their structures were
