Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO grade IV astrocytoma) has become a public health burden worldwide. Alpinumisoflavone (AIF) is a flavonoid compound isolated from Derris eriocarpa. This study aims to examine the role of AIF in GBM. Our results showed that AIF could decrease the cell viability of

Rotenoids are the active ingredients of some botanical insecticides and prospective candidates as anticancer agents. The proper isolation and determination of rotenoids in plants is of great importance for their further research and development. However, the HPLC method available for this purpose

Derris scandens (ROXB.) BENTH. (Fabaceae) is used as an alternative treatment for cancer in Thai traditional medicine. Investigation of the topoisomerase II (Top2) poison of compounds isolated from this plant may reveal new drug leads for the treatment of cancer. Bioassay-guided isolation was

The incidence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains high in numerous countries, including Thailand. There are numerous different lines of HCC treatment; however, various side effects and the resistance of cancer cells during treatment remain issues. At present, traditionally used herb

Three undescribed isoflavones, derriscandenon A, B, and C, together with seven known isoflavones were isolated and structurally characterized during a study of the chemical constituents in the leaves of Derris scandens (Roxb.) Benth (Leguminosae, Fabaceae) collected in Bangladesh. The inhibitory

BACKGROUND Natural products are a potential source for cancer chemotherapeutic development. This current study was performed to investigate the anti-tumor potential of 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-6,8-diprenylisoflavone (TD) and lupalbigenin (LB), plant flavonoids found in Derris scandens Benth (family:

A study of the chemical constituents of the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae) led to the isolation and identification of one new rotenoid, 6aalpha,12aalpha-12a-hydroxyelliptone ( 3), together with five other known rotenoids. In a search for novel cancer chemopreventive agents

A study of the chemical constituents of the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae) led to the isolation and identification of one new rotenoid, 6aalpha,12aalpha-12a-hydroxyelliptone ( 3), together with five other known rotenoids. In a search for novel cancer chemopreventive agents

Alpinumisoflavone (AIF) as principal active ingredient of traditional Chinese herb Derris eriocarpa exerts a broad spectrum of anti-cancer activities against solid tumors. However, little is known about the effect of AIF on Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC). Objectives of this study are to investigate

Herbs have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries and known to possess antioxidant properties that may help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. We screen aqueous extracts from 20 medicinal plants in Thailand that were believed to possess anti-tumor

BACKGROUND The plants used in this study had previously been identified and used by Thai folk practitioners, who had knowledge of Thai traditional medicine, as alternative treatments for cancer. Investigation into the mechanism of the Topoisomerase II (Top2) poison of these plants may give rise to

Operationally simple, stereocontrolled semisyntheses of the anticancer rotenoids elliptone and 12aβ-hydroxyelliptone, isolated from Derris elliptica and Derris trifoliata, respectively, are described. Inspired by the work of Singhal, elliptone was prepared from rotenone via a
