tylophorinidine/neoplasms

The activity of thymidylate synthase (TS) purified in our laboratory from Lactobacillus leichmannii was inhibited by pergularinine (PGL) and tylophorinidine (TPD) and deoxytubulosine (DTB) isolated from the Indian medicinal plants Pergularia pallida and Alangium lamarckii respectively. Cytotoxicity

Biological activity of the phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids pergularinine (PGL) and tylophorinidine (TPD) isolated from the Indian medicinal herb Pergularia pallida has been evaluated and assessed for the first time employing thymidylate synthase (TS) (5,10-CH2H4 PteGlu: dUMP-C-methyltransferase, EC

Thymidylate synthase (TS) (EC 2.1.1.45) provides precursors for DNA biosynthesis through a de novo pathway and is a key target enzyme for cancer chemotherapy. TS levels of human leukemic leukocytes from patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were

The phenanthroindolizidine plant alkaloids pergularinine (PGL) and tylophorinidine (TPD) isolated from the Indian medicinal herb Pergularia pallida have been evaluated for their biological activity and assessed for the first time employing dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) (5,6,7,8-THF: NADP(+)

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Tylophora indica (Burm. f.) Merr. commonly known as ananthamool is a climbing perennial plant which is widely used in Indian traditional medicine. T. indica exhibits diverse range of pharmacological

Five phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids (PA) were chemically synthesized and seven were isolated from Tylophora atrofolliculata. To facilitate future drug design of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids as potential antitumor agents, we have explored the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of this class
