artabotrys harmandii/neoplasms

Several species of the Annonaceae plants have been used as complementary medicine for cancer-associated illnesses in some ethnic groups of northern Thailand. This study investigated the cytotoxic and cytostatic activity of methanolic extracts derived from the stems of these plants, including Uvaria

Bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanol extract of Artabotrys madagascariensis led to the isolation of the new compound artabotrene (1), two butenolides (2 and 3), and the tetracyclic triterpene polycarpol (4). Structure elucidation was determined on the basis of one and two-dimensional NMR, and

A novel type of alpha,beta-butenolide alkaloid, uncinine (1), two novel oxoaporphines, artabonatine C (2) and artabonatine D (3), a new oxazoloaporphine, artabonatine E (4), and a new 7,7'-bisdehydroaporphine, artabonatine F (5), along with 25 known alkaloids, were isolated from Artabotrys

Six new polyoxygenated seco-cyclohexenes, artahongkongenes A-F (1-6), together with six known analogues (7-12) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Artabotrys hongkongensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods. All new compounds were evaluated for their

A new polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivative, artahainanol A (1), together with three known analogues (2-4), was isolated from the stems and leaves of Artabotrys hainanensis. Among them, 1 is an unusual polyoxygenated cyclohexene containing 14 carbon atoms on the carbon skeleton. All known compounds

A new naturally occurring trinoreudesmane sesquiterpene, artahongkongol A (1), together with seven known eudesmane sesquiterpenes (2-8), was isolated from the stems and leaves of Artabotrys hongkongensis Hance. Among them, 1 is a rare trinoreudesmane sesquiterpene containing 12 carbon atoms on the

BACKGROUND Uvaria longipes (Craib) L.L.Zhou, Y.C.F.Su & R.M.K.Saunders, Artabotrys burmanicus A.DC, Marsypopetalum modestum (Pierre) B.Xue & R.M.K.Saunders and Dasymaschalon sp. have been used for traditional medicine to treat cancer-like symptoms in some ethnic groups of Thailand and
