Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms that underpin the anticancer effects of cleistanthin A (CA) in two CRC cell lines, HCT 116, and SW480. At 48 h, CA exhibited apoptotic cytotoxic effects in both CRC cell
Cleistanthin B, one of the toxic constituents of Cleistanthus collinus, was found to be cytotoxic to normal and tumour cells. In comparison with normal cells, tumour cells were sensitive to lower doses of toxin. The 50% growth inhibition (GI50) values for normal cell lines were from 2 x 10(-5) to
To evaluate the in vivo antitumor activity of cleistanthin B in Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC) and Dalton's ascites lymphoma (DAL) cell lines induced malignant ascites mouse models and DAL cell line induced solid tumor mouse model. All animals were injected with 2 × 106 EAC/DAL cells i.p./s.c. to
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) was proposed as a key target for new strategies in cancer treatment recently. We have synthesized a novel class of derivatives of Cleistanthin-A bearing heterocyclic moieties. Most of these compounds displayed potent antiproliferative effects on four cancer cells
Cleistanthin A (CleinA) and cleistanthoside A (CleisA) isolated from plant Phyllanthus taxodiifolius Beille have previously shown potent anticancer effects. To promote their medicinal benefits, CleisA was modified to cleistanthoside A tetraacetate (CleisTA) and evaluated for genotoxic and
Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal-dependent cellular degradation process and its dysregulation has been linked to numerous diseases including neurodegeneration, infectious diseases, and cancer. Modulation of autophagy is therefore considered as an attractive target for disease intervention. We
A diphyllin glycoside called cleistanthin A was isolated from the tropical plant Cleistanthus collinus and its anticancer potential was assessed. This compound showed preferential cytotoxicity in several tumor cell lines. The GI50 values for normal cell lines were between 10(-6) and 10(-7) M while
OBJECTIVE
To determine the biodistribution properties of cleistanthin A and cleistanthin B in rodents using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
METHODS
Cleistanthins A and B, constituents of Cleistanthus collinus Roxb., were labelled with gadolinium (Gd(3+)) directly and injected into normal and
Novel lignan glycosides 1a-1 h as analogues of cleistanthin A were designed and synthesized. Most of these compounds displayed significant cytotoxicities against four cancer cell lines. Compound 1e displayed better cytotoxicity than cleistanthin A with IC50 values from 1.0 nm to 8.3 nm. Further
The arylnaphthalide lignan glycosides, taxodiifoloside, cleistanthoside A, cleistanthin A and cleistanthin A methyl ether, together with a triterpene, glochidone, have been isolated from the aerial parts of Phyllanthus taxodiifolius. The structures were established using spectral and chemical
