Carica papaya is an essential medicinal plant having anticancer activities through diverse mechanisms and is not so far thoroughly investigated. In this review, we have summarized the systematic research outputs of different parts of the papaya plant extracts and elaborated the role of its
Polyphenol E, available as Polyphenon E, is a green tea extract whose activity can be benchmarked to the presence of specific catechins such as epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG). Herein, Polyphenon E is shown to reverse myeloid-derived suppressor cell activity, linking the activity of a natural
Mustard (Brassica juncea) leaves are commonly consumed in different Asian and African countries. Cancer is a major burden of disease worldwide, and the colorectal and lung cancers are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancers. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the
Ten cedrelone limonoids were isolated from the leaves of Trichilia americana. These compounds include americanolides A-D (1-4), 1,2-dihydrodeacetylhirtin (5), 1α-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrodeacetylhirtin (6), 1α-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrohirtin (7), 1α-methoxy-1,2-dihydrodeacetylhirtin (8),
Anagyris foetida extracts were investigated in preliminary cytotoxic tests against two tumour cell lines. Chromatographic separations on active extracts led to the isolation of two alkaloids, anagyrine (1) and baptifoline (2), as well of isorhamnetin (3) and syringin 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4).
Activity-guided fractionation of the leaves of Macaranga triloba, using an in vitro bioassay based on the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2, resulted in the isolation of a rotenoid, 4,5-dihydro-5'alpha-hydroxy-4'alpha-methoxy-6a,12a-dehydro-alpha-toxicarol (1), as well as 12 known compounds,
BACKGROUND
The impact of cancer on spouses of cancer patients may be considerable in many aspects. Our objective was to evaluate sick leave in spouses of cancer patients before and after the diagnosis.
METHODS
Using Swedish population-based registries, we studied sick leave of spouses to patients
A new oleanane-type triterpenoid (1) and five known pentacyclic triterpenoids (2-6) were isolated from the leaves of Excoecaria agallocha. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. The new compound was characterized as 3beta-[(2E,4E)-5-oxo-decadienoyloxy]-olean-12-ene (1).
Two new trachylobane- and one isopimarane-type diterpenoids: ent-18-hydroxy-trachyloban-3-one; ent-trachyloban-3-one; isopimara-7,15-dien-3beta-ol, were isolated from the leaves of Croton zambesicus, together with trans-phytol, beta-sitosterol, alpha-amyrin and stigmasterol. The structures were
The chemical constituents of 60% EtOH extract of yacon leaves were separated to yield a new compound, together with four known compounds, which were isolated for the first time from yacon. The new compound was characterised and named as chlorodalin (1) on the basis of NMR (1D and 2D), HR-MS and
Four new alkaloids, 17-hydroxydaphnigraciline (1), subdaphnidine A (2), daphnezomine L methyl ester (3), and 11-hydroxycodaphniphylline (4), along with 24 known analogues, were isolated from the leaves of Daphniphyllum subverticillatum. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of
Four novel prenylflavonols, macaranones A-D (1-4), were isolated from the leaves of Macaranga sampsonii. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Macaranones C (3) and D (4) represent first two examples of flavonols having an unusual peltogynoid skeleton which is formed
A phytochemical study on the leaves of Callistemon viminalis, a widely distributed ornamental and medicinal plant of agricultural importance in China, resulted in the isolation of eleven acylphloroglucinols, including six new ones named callistenones F-K (1-6), as well as five known congeners. Their
