cirsimaritin/neoplasms

The biological activities of the ethanol extract from Cirsium japonicum var. maackii (ICF-1) and its major component, polyphenol cirsimaritin, were investigated as part of the search for possible alternative drugs for breast cancer. Three in vitro cell-based assays were used: the cell proliferation

In this study, the anticancer effect of cirsimaritin, a natural flavonoid, against human gallbladder carcinoma cell line GBC-SD and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. Cirsimaritin inhibited the growth of tumor cells and induced mitochondrial apoptosis in GBC-SD cells. In addition,

In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of cirsimaritin isolated from an ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Cirsium japonicum var. maackii Maxim. using RAW264.7 cells. The extract and its flavonoid cirsimaritin inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production and

Cirsimaritin is a dimethoxy flavone, which is present in Ocimum sanctum, Microtea debilis, Artemisia judaica, Cirsium japonicum, and Lithocarpus dealbatus. Its antiproliferative potential has been explored in breast and gall bladder cancer cell lines. However, no reports

Fractionation of the chloroformic extracts from Teucrium ramosissimum leaves resulted in the isolation of three flavonoids: genkwanin (1), cirsimaritin (2) and 4',7-dimethoxy apigenin (4) and one sesquiterpene: β-eudesmol (3). The structures were determined using data obtained from (1)H and (13)C

Activity-based fractionation of Eriodictyon californicum resulted in the isolation of 12 flavonoids that inhibit the metabolism of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene by hamster embryo cells in tissue culture. One was identified as a new flavanone, 3'-methyl-4'-isobutyryleriodictoyol [1], on the basis of

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaves possess a variety of bioactivities. Previous studies have shown that the extract of rosemary leaves from supercritical fluid extraction inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators with apparent dose-dependent responses. In this study, three different

Two new 5-O-glucosylflavones, 5-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl cirsimaritin (1) and 5, 4'-O-β-D-diglucopyranosyl cirsimaritin (2), four known flavonoids, cirsimarin (3), cirsimaritin (4), salvigenin (5), 4', 5-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (6), and a norisoprenoid, vomifoliol (7), have been isolated from the

BACKGROUND The genus Centaurea L. (Asteraceae) is one of the largest genera in Turkey. Compounds and extracts obtained from different Centaurea species have significant anti-cancer activity against various cancer cell lines. OBJECTIVE To determine the anti-proliferative activity of isolates from the

The use of dietary flavones is becoming increasingly popular for their prevention of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases. Despite many pharmacokinetic studies on flavone mixtures, the position(s) of glucuronidation sites on the flavone skeleton in vivo remain(s) uncertain because of

Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss. has been used as part of an ethnobotanical remedy against many forms of human cancer in Iran. It has been demonstrated that a flavonoid named xanthomicrol from D. kotschyi contributes to its preferential antiproliferative activity against malignant cells. In the present
