phloroglucinol/breast neoplasms

Metastasis is a challenging clinical problem and the primary cause of death in breast cancer patients. However, there is no therapeutic agent against metastasis of breast cancer cells. Here we report that phloroglucinol, a natural phlorotannin component of brown algae suppresses metastatic ability

Dryofragin is a phloroglucinol derivative extracted from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott. In this study, the anticancer activity of dryofragin on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was investigated. Dryofragin inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells in a time and concentration-dependent manner. The cell

Poor prognosis of breast cancer patients is closely associated with metastasis and relapse. There is substantial evidence supporting that cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are primarily responsible for relapse in breast cancer after anticancer treatment. However, there is a lack of suitable drugs that

Phloroglucinol derivatives, dioxinodehydroeckol (1) and 1-(3',5'-dihydroxyphenoxy)-7-(2'',4'',6-trihydroxyphenoxy)-2,4,9-trihydroxydibenzo-1,4-dioxin (2), were isolated from Ecklonia Cava. Their ability to inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer cells were evaluated by measuring cell death

We showed previously that hyperforin (HF), a natural phloroglucinol, stimulated apoptosis in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells (CLL) and displayed anti-angiogenic properties. In the present work, we investigated the effects of hyperforin on the activity of P-gp/MDR1, an ABC (ATP-binding

We investigated the effect of Ecklonia cava (E. cava)-derived dieckol on movement behavior and the expression of migration-related genes in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell. Phlorotannins (e.g., dieckol, 6,6'-biecko, and 2,7″-phloroglucinol-6,6'-bieckol) were purified from E. cava by using centrifugal

Ebracteolatain A is a phloroglucinol derivative from the root of Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata, a Traditional Chinese Medicine also known as Langdu. It has been shown to have good inhibitory effects in breast cancer cells. In this study, a simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific ultra-performance
