desoxypodophyllotoxin/neoplasms

To enhance the therapeutic efficacy as well as to reduce the side effect, we attempted to liposomalize 4beta-aminoalkyl-4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin (TOP-53), a novel and effective topoisomerase II inhibitor. More than 90% of TOP-53 was efficiently incorporated into the liposomes composed

A new semi-synthetic podophyllotoxin derivative, 4'-O-demethyl-4beta-2"-nitro-4"-fluoroanilino)-4-desoxypo dophyllotoxin (compound 1), an analog of GL-331 (compound 2), is a potent and broad-spectrum inhibitor of cultured human cancer and drug-resistant cell growth. In general,

A novel VP-16 derivative, 4β-[N -(4‴-acetyloxyl-phenyl-1‴-carbonyl)-4″-aminoanilino]-4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin (GL3), displayed a wide range of cytotoxicity in a panel of human tumor cell lines, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) values ranging from 0.82 to 4.88 µM, much

A series of new 4β-anilino-4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against four human cancer cell lines including KB, KB/VCR, A549 and 95D. Most compounds showed better growth-inhibition activities against tested cell lines than that of

We synthesized a potent new antitumor podophyllotoxin derivative (4beta-aminoalkyl-4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin; TOP-53) in our search for a drug that has strong activity against lung cancer and lung metastatic cancer. TOP-53 exhibited twice the inhibitory activity of etoposide (VP-16)

The two new lignans 3α-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)desoxypodophyllotoxin (1) and 4-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)dehydropodophyllotoxin (2) were isolated from Cleistanthus boivinianus, together with the known lignans deoxypicropodophyllotoxin (3), (±)-β-apopicropodophyllin (4), (-)-desoxypodophyllotoxin (5),

A new lignan glycoside, named juniperigiside (1) was isolated from the CHCl(3) soluble fraction of the MeOH extract of stems and leaves of Juniperus rigida S.et Z. Compound 1 was identified by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy as well as CD analysis as

As a continuation of our structure-activity relationship studies, several new 4-beta-substituted 4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxins bearing mono-, di-, or trisubstituted anilines have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II and tumor cell growth in tissue culture.

The hydroalcoholic extract of the steam bark of B. fagaroides var. fagaroides displayed potent cytotoxic activity against four cancer cell lines, namely KB (ED50 = 9.6 × 10(-2) μg/mL), PC-3 (ED50 = 2.5 × 10(-1) μg/mL), MCF-7 (ED50 = 6.6 μg/mL), and HF-6 (ED50 = 7.1 × 10(-3) μg/mL). This extract also

In the incessant search for innovative cancer control strategies, this study was devoted to the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of dual inhibitors of farnesyltransferase and tubulin polymerization (FTI/MTIs). A series of indolizine-phenothiazine hybrids 16 (amides) and 17 (ketones)
