Eight sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the roots of Inula helenium and flowers of I. japonica. Among them, isoalantolactone (3) and santamarine (6) exhibited significant growth inhibitory activities against gynecologic cancer cell lines, while others weakly inhibited the growth of the cell
The known compound isohelenalin (1) was isolated from Helenium microcephalum and the previously reported structure confirmed on the basis of physicochemical data and chemical transformation. In addition, a new antileukemic sesquiterpene lactone, isohelenol (2), was isolated and its structure
Two new nor-pseudoguaianolides, microhelenin-E (1) and -F (2), were isolated from Texas Helenium microcephalum and their structures elucidated on the basis of physicochemical data and spectral evidence. Microhelenin-E demonstrated significant in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic and antileukemic
Microlenin, a novel dimeric sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Texas Helenium microcephalum, was shown to inhibit Ehrlich ascites carcinoma growth. Metabolic studies demonstrated that DNA synthesis and protein synthesis were significantly inhibited by two doses of microlenin at 5 mg/kg/day. DNA
Isoalantolactone is one of the major active ingredients from Inula helenium L. However, it is low cost-effective to isolate isoalantolactone from Inula helenium L. In this study, we optimized the extraction strategy and obtained a mixture of active ingredients with exact proportion (termed as F35),
The aim of the research program was to identify botanical extracts with antineoplastic activity. In this respect extracts prepared from Inula helenium roots showed a remarkable activity. As evidenced by the MTT assay, the Inula helenium extract revealed a highly selective toxicity toward four
Sesquiterpene lactones are bioactive compounds that have been identified as responsible for the anticancer activity of the medicinal herb, Inula helenium L. (IHL). However, the mechanisms of action involved in the anti‑pancreatic cancer activity of IHL have yet to be elucidated. The present study
Inula helenium L., commonly known as Elecampane, has been extensively used for many countries in the folk medicine. Its root is a rich source of sesquiterpene lactones, which possess various pharmacological activities. To develop the phytomedicine including sesquiterpene lactones, we prepared hexane
