This research is aimed on reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) of chemotherapy in lung cancer. According to our previous research, chemotherapeutic drugs resistance in lung cancer is mainly due to high expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) gene and activation of caspases. The
Previous studies have demonstrated that the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 is overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer and antagonizing this receptor promotes apoptosis and inhibits pancreatic cancer cells and tumor growth. In the present study, we identified fangchinoline, a
In the present study, we investigated whether treatment with cepharanthine, a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha improves the response to radiotherapy in the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines, HSC2, HSC3 and HSC4. We examined the potential mechanisms that may
In this study, we focused the effects of crebanine, an alkaloid isolated from the tuber of Stephania venosa, on various human cancer cells. Crebanine treatment was found to significantly inhibit the proliferation of human leukemic cells (HL-60, U937 and K562), human fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) and
Tetrandrine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in Stephania tetrandra, a Chinese medicine commonly used as an anti-inflammatory. It has extensive pharmacological activity, including positive ion channel blockade and inhibition of multiple drug resistance proteins. These activities are very
Tetrandrine, a constituent of Chinese herb Stephania tetrandra, causes cell death in prostate cancer, but the molecular mechanisms leading to apoptosis is not known. Here we demonstrated that tetrandrine selectively inhibits the growth of prostate cancer PC3 and DU145 cells compared to normal
Fangchinoline (Fan) is a bioactive compound isolated from the Chinese herb Stephania tetrandra S. Moore (Fen Fang Ji). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Fan on the proliferation of SPC-A-1 lung cancer cells, and to define the associated molecular mechanisms. Following
Cepharanthine (CEP), a medicinal product derived from Stephania cephalantha Hayata, possesses a potent cytotoxicity against several types of cancers. Recently, we have found that CEP could efficiently inhibit the growth of mutated p53 colon cancer cells, which are often resistant to commonly used
Cepharanthine, a biscoclaurine alkaloid extracted from Stephania cepharantha Hayata was examined for a possible apoptosis-inducing effect in murine P388 doxorubicin-sensitive (P388/S) and -resistant (P388/DOX) cells. A significant increase in LDH release from cells was observed after P388/S and
The preventive effects of cepharanthine, a biscoclaurine alkaloid isolated from Stephania cepharantha Hayata, on the lethality and cell death caused by endotoxin or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced syndrome in septic shock were investigated. In these experiments, we estimated the survival
OBJECTIVE
To study in vitro the anticancer interaction between Ys-96, a bisbenzylisoquinoline compound derived from Stephania tetrandra, and adriamycin or vincristine against human cancer cell lines.
METHODS
Using human breast cancer cell MCF-7 and its adriamycin-resistant cell line MCF-7/Adr, and
The overexpression of ABC transporters is a common reason for multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. In this study, we found that the isoquinoline alkaloids tetrandrine and fangchinoline from Stephania tetrandra showed a significant synergistic cytotoxic effect in MDR Caco-2 and CEM/ADR5000
Tetrandrine, a lead anti-tumor compound with a bis-benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton isolated from medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra. In order to obtain active anti-tumor agents and evaluate their structure-activity relationships, a series of novel tetrandrine derivatives were designed and
Tetrandrine is a dibenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra, with anti-tumor activity. Our previous study identified several derivatives of tetrandrine showing better activities than parental compound against human hepatocellular
Tetrandrine, a dibenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the root of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Stephania tetrandra S. Moore, a member of the Menispermaceae, showed anti-cancer activity by inhibiting cell proliferation, preventing cell cycle progress and induction of
