acetoxychavicol acetate/leukemia

Structure-activity relationships of 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) for apoptotic activity against human leukemia HL-60 cells were investigated using optically active ACA and various racemic ACA analogues. Natural-type (or with different acyl group) ACA showed a high apoptotic activity, but the

Benzhydrol-type analogs of 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) were developed as inhibitors of human leukemia HL-60 cell growth based on quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. An analog containing an anthracenyl moiety (8) was a potent inhibitor with the IC(50) value of 0.12

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this investigation was to determine the antileukemic effects of 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) obtained from rhizomes of the commonly used ethno-medicinal plant Languas galanga (Zingiberaceae). METHODS We evaluated the effects of ACA on various myeloid leukemic cells in

1'-Acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), which was isolated from the rhizomes of Zingiberaceae, exhibits various biological actions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and anti-cancer activities. ACA represents an attractive candidate for the treatment of many cancers. We

Active inflammatory leukocytes are a major endogenous source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen oxide species (RONS). We have recently established novel bioassay systems, in which either phorbol ester-stimulated, differentiated HL-60 human leukemia cells or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7
