OBJECTIVE
In recent years, a number of reports have shown the anticancer activity of plant extracts and phytoalkaloid.
METHODS
We have evaluated the cytotoxicity profiles of 157 extracts prepared from dietary or medical plants growing in the Okinawa island, using 10 different cell lines. In vitro
OBJECTIVE
To develop a novel anti-cancer drug of low side effect against lung adenocarcinoma, the authors screened the bioresources of Okinawa Island, Japan. The medicinal plant Toddalia asiatica Lam. contained three benzo[c]phenanthridine derivatives: dihydronitidine (DHN), nitidine (NTD) and
The roots of Toddalia asiatica (L.) Lam. (TA) has been often used in Chinese folk medicine to treat different diseases, including but not limited to arthritis, injuries, stomachache, and even tumors. However, the anti-cancer effects and the action mechanisms of TA remain elusive. Therefore, we
Coumarin and alkaloids are the major bioactive constituents of Toddalia asiatica, playing an important role in various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-bacterial and anti-tumour.To establish a method that will simultaneously 8-Acetonyldihydronitidine (8-AHN) is a potent antitumor compound extracted from Toddalia asiatica. However, the precise molecular antitumor mechanisms of 8-AHN have not been well elucidated. Here, we showed that 8-AHN significantly inhibited the proliferation of human colorectal cell lines via
Chelerythrine (CHE) is a type of benzophenanthridine alkaloid found in many herbs and is also the main alkaloid constituent of Toddalia asiatica (L.) LAM. It has been proven to have various activities including antitumor, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic effects. We have previously
