Tetrandrine, a lead anti-tumor compound with a bis-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton isolated from medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra. In order to obtain active anti-tumor agents and evaluate their structure-activity relationships, a series of novel tetrandrine derivatives were designed and
Tetrandrine is a dibenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra, with anti-tumor activity. Our previous study identified several derivatives of tetrandrine showing better activities than parental compound against human hepatocellular
Tetrandrine, a dibenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the root of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra S. Moore, a member of the Menispermaceae, showed anti-cancer activity by inhibiting cell proliferation, preventing cell cycle progress and induction of
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies and thus the development of novel therapeutic agents for managing lung cancer is imperative. Tetrandrine, a bis-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Stephania tetrandra S. Moore, has been found to exert cytotoxic BACKGROUND
Medicines of the Yao ethnic group in China are a special branch of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and are well documented for use in disease prevention. According to an ethnopharmacological survey, there are 1392 species of medicinal plants that have been documented as Yao
Extracts from the tubers of Stephania venosa (Blum) Spreng growing in Vietnam significantly inhibited cell proliferation against a number of cancer cells including HeLa, MDA-MB231 and MCF-7 cells. A bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of four aporphine and one tetrahydroprotoberberine
Isocorydine and its analogs were extracted from Dicranostigma leptopodum and Stephania yunnanensis through the method of natural products chemistry. Its derivatives were prepared by chemical structure modifications from isocorydine. MTT method was used to study the inhibitory effect of those
Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. Cepharanthine (CEP), a natural alkaloid extracted from the roots of Stephania cepharantha Hayata, has been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of various cancer cells. However, its potential anticancer effect in
The antitumor potential of Cepharanthin was re-evaluated. Cepharanthin, a biscoclaurin alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha Hayata, dose-dependently reduced the viable cell number of both normal and tumor cells, showing no tumor-specific cytotoxic action. Cepharanthin synergistically
Cepharanthine (CEP), a biscoclurine alkaloid isolated from Stephania cepharantha Hayata, has demonstrated anticancer activity in several different types of cancer cells. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in both men and women. Mutated p53 in CRC was reported to be associated
BACKGROUND
Chemotherapy has shown little antitumor activity against advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more effective therapeutic methods for patients with advanced OSCC. Cepharanthine is a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from
Cepharanthine is a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha Hayata. The drug has been widely used for the treatment of many acute and chronic diseases and can exert antitumor effects on several human cancer cells. In this study, we examined the mechanism of the antitumor effects
Inhibition of autophagy is a promising strategy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment, which is in the clinical trials. However, only chloroquine is used in clinic as an autophagic inhibitor and the inhibitory effect of chloroquine on autophagy is finite. Therefore, the development of an
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor activity of cepharanthine (CEP), an alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha Hayata.
METHODS
Human osteosarcoma cell line SaOS2 was used. MTT assay, Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining, flow cytometry, Western blotting and
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an important enzyme in purine metabolism and is known as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders and cancer. Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCHM) is widely used alone or in combination with chemotherapy to
