cephalotaxus oliveri/抗真菌藥

Harringtonolide (= hainanolide) is a complex polycyclic fused norditerpene isolated from CEPHALOTAXUS HARRINGTONIA var. DRUPACEA. In spite of its appealing biological properties - we measured an IC (50) of 43 nM on KB cells and a significant antifungal activity - its absolute configuration has not

Six amentoflavone-type biflavonoids, bilobetin (1), ginkgetin (2), 4',7''-di-O-methyl-amentoflavone (3), 7-O-methyl-isoginkgetin (4), sciadopitysin (5), and 7,4',7'',4'''-O-methyl-amentoflavone (6), were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of Cephalotaxus koreana Nakai (Cephalotaxaceae) by

BACKGROUND Cephalotaxus spp. are known to possess various therapeutic potentials. Cephalotaxus griffithii, however, has not been evaluated for its biological potential. The reason may be the remoteness and inaccessibility of the habitat where it is distributed. The main aim of this study was to: (1)

Homoharringtonine (HHT) is an ester of cephalotaxine (CET), both of which derive from the Chinese coniferous tree Cephalotaxus hainanensis. HHT inhibited tumor cell growth at molar ranges comparable to established cytostatic drugs, whereas CET was 3-4 orders of magnitude less active. Inhibition

Two new compounds, namely 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6-methylchromone (1), and sesquiterpene X (6), together with 21 known compounds were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Cephalotaxus fortunei Hook. f. The structures of 1-23 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis (1D/2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS

Medulloblastoma (MB) is a form of malignant brain tumor that predominantly arises in infants and children, of which approximately 25 % is due to upregulation of canonical Wnt pathway with mainly mutations in CTNNB1. Therefore, Wnt inhibitors could offer rational therapeutic strategies and

Endophytes from Cephalotaxus hainanensis Li, an important source of anti-leukemia drugs, have not been widely explored. In this study, 265 endophytic fungal isolates from C. hainanensis Li were screened for antimicrobial activities against tilapia, banana, rice, and rape and for antitumor activities

Screening of plant extracts found that a biflavone from Cephalotaxus drupacea, which was found to be ginkgetin, is active against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This compound caused dose-dependent inhibition of virus replication with a 50% cytotoxic activity at 12.8 micrograms/ml and 50%

Antitumor activities of harringtonine(HA) and homoharringtonine(HO) both belong to cephalotaxus alkaloids were compared with those of vinca alkaloids, vincristine (VCR) and vinblastine (VLB). HA and HO had significant activities against P388 leukemia, L1210 leukemia and B16 melanoma by
