Four known friedelane-type triterpenoids, friedelin ( 1), 3-hydroxy-D:A-friedoolean-3-en-2-one ( 2), 2beta-hydroxy-D:A-friedooleanan-3-one ( 3), and 3alpha-hydroxy-D:A-friedooleanan-2-one ( 4), and two known lupane-type triterpenoids, lupeol ( 5) and betulin ( 6), were isolated from the stem bark of

It is widely accepted that apoptosis is closely associated with cancer cell death. However, whether autophagy induces tumor cell death has not been fully elucidated. Various studies have discussed the antitumor properties of rottlerin in human malignancies. The current study aimed to investigate the

The MeOH and CHCl3 extracts of the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus showed potential anti-tumor-promoter activity. Seven constituents of the CHCl3 extract and two derivatives from the most abundant constituent, mallotojaponin, markedly inhibited the incorporation of 3H-choline into phospholipids of

In continuation of our investigation of pharmacologically-motivated natural products, we have isolated bergenin (1) as a major compound from Mallotus philippensis, which is deployed in different Indian traditional systems of medicine. Here, a series of bergenin-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were

Mallotus B (2d) is a prenylated dimeric phloroglucinol compound isolated from Mallotus philippensis. There have been no reports on the synthesis or biological activity of this compound. In the present paper, a semisynthetic preparation of mallotus B is reported via base-mediated intramolecular

Bergenin is a C-glycoside of 4-O-methylgallic acid that is isolated from medicinal plants such as Flueggea leucopyrus, Bergenia crassifolia, Mallotus philippensis, Corylopsis spicata, Caesalpinia digyna, Mallotus japonicus, and Sacoglottis gabonensis. Even though there appears to be ample evidence

A new 3-methoxybenzensulfonic acid 4-0-0-D-glucopyranoside (1), and ten known compounds (2-11) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the stems of Mallotus microcarpus. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by the MTT method. 3-Methoxybenzensulfonic acid 4-Ο-β-D-

Anoctamin1 (ANO1), a calcium-activated chloride channel, is frequently overexpressed in several cancers, including human prostate cancer and oral squamous cell carcinomas. ANO1 plays a critical role in tumor growth and maintenance of these cancers. In this study, we have isolated two new compounds

A variety of phloroglucinol derivatives isolated from the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus were assessed for growth inhibiting activity against human larynx (HEp-2) and lung (PC-13) carcinoma cells as well as mouse B16 melanoma, leukemia P388, and L5178Y cells. Most of these derivatives were proved

Two new benzopyrans 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-hydroxy-butyl]-5,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran (1) and 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-methoxy-butyl]-5,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran (2) were isolated from the leaves of Mallotus apelta Muell.-Arg., (Euphorbiaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated

Rottlerin-like phloroglucinol derivatives isolated from the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus Muell. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) are reviewed. Chemical structures, cytotoxicity, antitumor and antitumor-promoting effects, antiviral activity, anti-HIV-RT activity, and inhibitory activity of activated

Mallotojaponin, a major constituent of the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus (Euphorbiaceae), inhibited the action of tumor promoter in vitro and in vivo; it inhibited tumor promoter-enhanced phospholipid metabolism in cultured cells, and also suppressed the promoting effect of

A new chromone, 7-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-8-methoxy-4-oxo-4H-chromene-6-carboxylic acid, named melachromone, along with 13 known compounds (2-14), including chromones, flavonoids, coumarins and phenylpropane derivatives, were isolated from the twig of Mallotus apelta. Their chemical structures were

Mallotusapelta(Lour.) Müll.Arg has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis. Six new chromene derivatives, malloapeltas C-H (1-6) and one known compound, malloapelta B (7) were isolated and structured from the leaves of M.apelta. Two pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b and

Five prenylflavonoids, 6-prenylnaringenin (1), 8-prenylnaringenin (2), 7-O-methyl-8-prenylnaringenin (3), 7-O-methyl-6-prenylnaringenin (4), and 4'-O-methyl-6-prenylnaringenin (5), were isolated from the traditional herb Mallotus conspurcatus Croizat (Euphorbiaceae). Compounds 1-5 revealed cytotoxic
