25-Hydroxy-3-oxoolean-12-en-28-oic acid (Amooranin-AMR) is a triterpene acid isolated from the stem bark of a tropical tree (Amoora rohituka) grown wild in India. A herbal preparation used for the treatment of cancer by the Ayurvedic system of medicine contains the stem bark of Amoora rohituka as
AMR-Me, a C-28 methylester derivative of triterpenoid compound Amooranin isolated from Amoora rohituka stem bark and the plant has been reported to possess multitude of medicinal properties. Our previous studies have shown that AMR-Me can induce apoptosis through mitochondrial apoptotic and MAPK
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein complex of hTERT and hTER, has been reported to be associated with carcinogenesis and multidrug resistance (MDR). Methyl-25-hydroxy-3-oxoolean-12-en-28-oate (AMR-Me) is a novel semisynthetic triterpenoid, derived from a triterpene acid isolated from the stem bark of a
Chemotherapeutic agents for cancer are highly toxic to healthy tissues and hence alternative medicine avenues are widely researched. Majority of the recent studies on alternative medicine suggested that Amoora rohituka possesses considerable antitumor and antibacterial properties. In this work,
Rohitukine is a chromane alkaloid possessing anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and immuno-modulatory properties. The compound was first reported from Amoora rohituka (Meliaceae) and later from Dysoxylum binectariferum (Meliaceae) and Schumanniophyton problematicum (Rubiaceae). Flavopiridol, a
In this study we compared the in vitro antiproliferative activity of extracts from medicinal plants toward human tumor cell lines, including human erythromyeloid K562, B-lymphoid Raji, T-lymphoid Jurkat, erythroleukemic HEL cell lines. Extracts from Emblica officinalis were the most active in
For centuries, herbs and plants have been used for medicinal purposes and as food as well. This review concerns about different types of plants that retain the immune stimulating and anti-tumor properties. Large variety of active phytochemicals such as carotenoids, flavonoids, ligands,
Amoora rohituka is described in Ayurveda, an Indian traditional system of medicine for management of disorders of blood, diseases of eye, helminthiasis disease, ulcer, liver disorders and splenomegaly. However, the leaves were not reported to have anticancer properties till Four novel diterpenes possessing rare five-membered peroxide ring, aphanaperoxides E-H (1-4), were isolated from stem bark of Aphanamixis polystachya. Their structures including the absolute configuration were elucidated by spectroscopic data and CD analysis. The cytotoxicities of the isolated
Two new limonoids, namely aphanamolides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the seeds of Aphanamixis polystachya . Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods. Aphanamolide A (1) featured an unprecedented carbon skeleton via the formation of a C-3-C-6 bond. Compounds 1 and 2 showed
Six new acyclic diterpenoids named Aphanamixins A-F (1-6), together with two known compounds of nemoralisin and nemoralisin C, were isolated from the stem bark of Aphanamixis polystachya (WALL) J. N. BARKER. Their structures were established through a comprehensive analysis of NMR spectroscopic data
Seven new prieurianin-type limonoids, aphapolynins C-I (1-7), and a new aphanamolide-type limonoid, aphanamolide B (8), along with seventeen known compounds, were isolated from the fruits of Aphanamixis polystachya. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic
A series of tirucallane triterpenoids isolated from the stem barks of Aphanamixis grandifolia were assessed for their anti-inflammatory activity, exhibiting from weak to strong anti-inflammatory activity, by testing their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis factor-α
The effect of radiation on tumor tissue can be optimized by adding radiosensitizing agents, in order to achieve a greater degree of tumor damage than expected from the use of either treatment alone. The ethanolic extract of Aphanamixis polystachya (APE) was tested in Swiss albino mice transplanted
Mutations of the K-Ras gene occur in over 90 % of pancreatic carcinomas, and to date, no targeted therapies exist for this genetically defined subset of cancers. STAT3 plays a critical role in KRAS-driven pancreatic tumorigenesis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in this cancer.
