inula hookeri/抗癌藥

Eight sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the roots of Inula helenium and flowers of I. japonica. Among them, isoalantolactone (3) and santamarine (6) exhibited significant growth inhibitory activities against gynecologic cancer cell lines, while others weakly inhibited the growth of the cell

BACKGROUND The over-expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in cancer is associated with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. The phosphorylation of Bcl-2 is one mechanism by which anti-microtubule agents, such as paclitaxel or docetaxel, may inactivate Bcl-2. Although initially active in

The extracts of Inula britannica have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-hepatitic, and anti-tumor activities. Various sesquiterpene lactones with cytotoxic properties including 1-O-acetylbritannilactone (1) have been isolated from this Chinese medicinal plant. Eight derivatives of

BACKGROUND The plants of the genus Inula (Asteraceae) are widely distributed throughout Europe, Africa and Asia, and many of these plants have long been used in folk medicine. This genus is a rich source of sesquiterpenoids, which exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Recently, a series of

UNASSIGNED The aim of this study is to explore the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of aqueous extract from aerial parts of Inula helenium (L.) against human U-87 MG glioma cell line. UNASSIGNED The 3'-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase

The present study was performed as part of an attempt to authenticate the use of Inula racemosa root extract as traditional medicine in India by experimentally investigating their protective effects on 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) induced DNA damage and apoptosis in mice bone marrow cells.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignancy affecting the oral cavity and is associated with severe morbidity and high mortality. 1, 6-O, O-Diacetylbritannilactone (OODBL) isolated from the medicinal

Bigelovin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the plant Inula helianthus-aquatica which was traditionally used in cancer treatment in Yunnan, China. The potent apoptotic activities of bigelovin in human leukemia U937 cells were shown in our previous study. The present study investigated the

Isoalantolactone is one of the major active ingredients from Inula helenium L. However, it is low cost-effective to isolate isoalantolactone from Inula helenium L. In this study, we optimized the extraction strategy and obtained a mixture of active ingredients with exact proportion (termed as F35),

Three new sesquiterpene lactone dimers (1-3) were isolated from the flowers of Inula japonica together with twenty-two known sesquiterpene derivatives (4-25). Their structures were established on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses. All isolates were evaluated for their antiproliferative

Aqueous and organic extracts of 25 selected species from four tribes of Hungarian Asteraceae were screened in vitro for antiproliferative activity against HeLa (cervix epithelial adenocarcinoma), A431 (skin epidermoid carcinoma) and MCF7 (breast epithelial adenocarcinoma) cells, using the MTT assay.

Telomerase is activated in human papillomavirus (HPV) positive cervical cancer and targeting telomeres offers a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy. In this study, the telomere targeting properties, the cytotoxic as well as the pro-apoptotic effects of hexane (IV-HE) and dichloromethane (IV-DF)

1-O-acetylbritannilactone (ABL), a natural chemical component obtained from Chinese traditional medicine, Inula britannica, has been demonstrated to have anticancer activities. In the present study, we evaluated the anti-proliferative and the pro-apoptotic abilities of ABL alone or in combination

Non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of all lung cancer cases, with a 5‑year survival rate of <15%. 1‑O‑acetylbritannilactone (ABL), a natural chemical component obtained from inula britannica, a Chinese traditional medicine, has been demonstrated to have anticancer activity. In the
