Tellimagrandin I and chebulinic acid, two hydrolysable tannins, have been shown to exert anti-tumor properties. Dysfunctional gap junctional communication (GJIC) has been recognized as being involved in carcinogenesis. The human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells have been reported to be deficient in
Tellimagrandin I is a hydrolysable tannin compound widely present in plants. In this study, the effect of tellimagrandin I on chemically induced erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation was investigated using K562 cells as differentiation model. It was found that tellimagrandin I not only
Walnuts contain many bioactive components that may slow cancer growth. A previous report showed that a diet supplemented with walnuts decreased the tumor size formed by MDA-MB-231 human cancer cells injected into nude mice. However, the mechanism of action was never determined. We characterized the
Partially unacylated new oligomeric hydrolyzable tannins, nilotinin T2 (1, trimer) and nilotinin Q1 (2, tetramer), together with four known trimers, nilotinin T1 (3) and hirtellins T1-T3 (4-6), and a dimer, tamarixinin B (7), were isolated from the aqueous acetone extracts of leaves of Tamarix
