artocarpus/breast neoplasms

Artelastin, a novel prenylated flavone, previously isolated from the wood bark of Artocarpus elasticus, was evaluated for its capacity to inhibit the growth of fifty-two human tumor cell lines, representing nine different tumor types. A pronounced dose-dependent growth inhibitory effect was detected

Nature has provided us with a wide spectrum of disease healing phytochemicals like Artonin E, obtained from the root bark of Artocarpus elasticus. This molecule had been predicted to be drug-like, possessing unique medicinal properties. Despite strides made in chemotherapy, prognosis of the

The increasing rate of mortality ensued from breast cancer has encouraged research into safer and efficient therapy. The human Estrogen receptor α has been implicated in the majority of reported breast cancer cases. Molecular docking employing Glide, Schrodinger suite 2015, was used to study the

Detailed phytochemical investigation has been carried out on the bark of Artocarpus elasticus Reinw. ex Blume, which led to the isolation of artonin E (1), a new dihydrobenzoxanthone derivative named elastixanthone (2), cycloartobiloxanthone (3) and artobiloxanthone (4). Structures of these

An investigation of the chemical constituents in Artocarpus obtusus species led to the isolation of three new xanthones, pyranocycloartobiloxanthone A (1), dihydroartoindonesianin C (2), and pyranocycloartobiloxanthone B (3). The compounds were subjected to antiproliferative assay against human

In our screening projects for anticancer agents from natural resources, artocarpin [6-(3-methyl-1-butenyl)-5,2',4'-trihydroxy-3-isoprenyl-7-methoxyflavone] isolated from wood of jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) showed potent cytotoxic activity on human T47D breast cancer cells. The mode of

Two new stilbene derivatives, lakoochins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the roots of Artocarpus lakoocha. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by analysis of their spectral data. Lakoochins A (1) and B (2) exhibited antimycobacterial activity with the respective MIC values of 12.5 and 50

Artonin E is a prenylated flavonoid compound isolated from the stem bark of Artocarpus elasticus. This phytochemical has been previously reported to be drug-like with full compliance to Lipinski's rule of five and good physicochemical properties when compared with 95% of orally available drugs. It
