ferruginol/neoplasms

The diterpene ferruginol has shown a strong protective effect in animal gastric ulcer models. In the present work, we report the gastroprotective effect and cytotoxicity of 16 new semisynthetic ester derivatives of ferruginol. The gastroprotective effect of these compounds was assessed with the

Ferruginol, a bioactive compound isolated from a Chilean tree (Podocarpaceae), attracts attention as a consequence of its pharmacological properties, which include anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, cardioprotective, anti-oxidative, anti-plasmodial and anti-ulcerogenic actions. Nevertheless, the molecular

BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer causes considerable mortality and morbidity across the globe. Owing to the unavailability of biomarkers and the adverse effects of existing drugs, there is an urgent need to develop efficient chemotherapy for the treatment of thyroid cancers. Plants have served as

The primary aim of the current study was to investigate the antitumor effects of ferruginol in OVCAR‑3 human ovary cancer cells. The effects of ferruginol on cell apoptosis, cell migration and cell cycle phase distribution were also evaluated. Cell cytotoxicity induced by ferruginol was determined

OBJECTIVE The anti-lung cancer effect of Cryptomeria japonica leaf extractive and its active phytocompound was evaluated using in vitro and in vivo assays. METHODS The anti-lung cancer mechanism was investigated using flow cytometry and western blot analyses, and the antitumor activity was evaluated

We identified eight diterpenes from Cryptomeria japonica (Taxodiaceae), which inhibit the activity of the androgen receptor (AR) in human prostate cancer (PCa) 22Rv1-derived 103E cells. The compounds 6,12-dihydroxyabieta-5,8,11,13-tetraen-7-one ( 2), sugiol ( 3), ferruginol ( 4), and

Cardiovascular-related diseases continue to be a leading cause of death globally. Among ischemic-induced cardiac diseases, myocardial infarction (MI) is reported to be of an alarming value. Despite numerous improvements in the medical intrusions, still this armamentarium fails to be effective in

A new abietane, namely, 20-hydroxyferruginol (1), together with known ferruginol (2), 18-hydroxyferruginol (3), sugiol (4), and 6alpha-hydroxysugiol (5), were isolated from the cones of Sequoia sempervirens. Their structures were elucidated through spectral data. Compounds 1 and 5 strongly inhibited

Ferruginol, a diterpene phenol, has recently received attention for its extensive pharmacological properties, including anti-tumor, antibacterial, cardio-protective and gastroprotective effects. In the present study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for

The diterpenoids (+)-ferruginol (1), ent-kaur-16-en-15-one (2), ent-8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2α,18-diol (3), 8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2α,18,19-triol (4), and (+)-sugiol (5) and the triterpenoids 3β-methoxycycloartan-24(24(1))-ene (6), 3β,23β-dimethoxycycloartan-24(24(1))-ene (7),

Giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is one of the most noxious invasive species in the world. Our bioactivity-guided fractionation of ethanol extract of giant salvinia led to the isolation of 50 compounds. Of the six new compounds (1-6), salviniol (1) is a rare abietane diterpene with a new

Four diterpenoids, ferruginol, salvipisone, aethiopinone and 1-oxoaethiopinone, were isolated from transformed roots of Salvia sclarea. Salvipisone and aethiopinone showed relatively high cytotoxicity against HL-60 and NALM-6 leukemia cells (IC50 range 0.6-7.7 microg/ mL which is equal to 2.0-24.7

One new abietane-type norditerpenoid, named militibetin A (1), was isolated from the dry roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, along with two known diterpenoids, yunnannin A (2) and ferruginol (3). Their structures were established by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses. In vitro, compounds 1-3 were

Two new sesquiterpenes, 10 alpha-hydroxyamorphan-4-en-3-one (1) and 4 alpha-methylcadinane-4 alpha-methyl-1 alpha,2 alpha,10 alpha-triol (2), together with four known compounds, sesquiterpenes 10 alpha-hydroxycadinan-4-en-3-one (3) and alpha-cadinol (4), diterpene ferruginol and lignan helioxanthin,

Carnosic acid (CA) is a phenolic diterpene with anti-tumour, anti-diabetic, antibacterial and neuroprotective properties that is produced by a number of species from several genera of the Lamiaceae family, including Salvia fruticosa (Cretan sage) and Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary). To elucidate
