khellactone/peucedanum

P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an ATP-driven membrane exporter for a broad spectrum of hydrophobic xenobiotics. Pgp-overexpression is a common cause of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells and could lead to chemotherapeutic failure. Through an extensive herbal drug screening program we previously

The pyranocoumarin (+)-4'-O-acetyl-3 'O-angeloyl-cis-khellactone (PC) isolated from Radix Peucedani (root of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn) showed a dose-dependent effect at 10 -30 pg/mL on causing apoptotic DNA and nuclear fragmentations in HL-60 cells. After 24 h of PC treatment there were losses

Pyranocoumarins are the main constitutes in Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn and possess various biological activities. In this article, we developed and validated a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the targeted quantification of the pyranocoumarins,

Three structurally related khellactone coumarins, 1-3, were isolated from the aerial parts of Peucedanum japonicum (Umbelliferae). Compound 2 was identified as a new coumarin (cis-3'-isovaleryl-4'-senecioylkhellactone) by spectral and chemical analysis. Conformation of the dihydropyrano ring of

Khellactones of Peucedanum praeruptorum DUUN., including praeruptorins A (= Pd-Ia, 2) and B (= Pd-II,11), had an antagonistic effect specifically on platelet aggregation induced by platelet activating factor (PAF) among various aggregating agents examined, and represent a new class of PAF

Sixteen new angular dihydropyranocoumarins (1-16) and 24 known compounds were isolated from the roots of Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. The absolute configuration of diacylkhellactone was established by partial hydrolysis, the Mosher method, and X-ray crystallography. In addition, ECD spectroscopy was

The spasmolytic and antiallergic effects of AA and BB, compounds isolated from Peucedanum japonicum THUNB. (P. japonicum THUNB.) and Peucedanum praeruptorium DUNN. (P. praeruptorium DUNN.), were investigated in isolated smooth muscle and rat PCA. AA and BB showed noncompetitive antagonistic effects

Among the most critical needs of natural product chemistry is a complete library of pure reference substances. Some khellactone-type isomers of pharmacological importance are either still lacking reference substances or references are only available in limited amounts. To address this need, a

Two compounds were isolated from Peucedanum longshengense Shan et Sheh for the first time. Their structures were identified as longshengensin A (I) and mannitol (II) by physico-chemical constants and spectral analyses (UV, IR, MS, NMR and 2D-NMR). I is a new compound with the structure of (-)-3'

From Peucedanum praeruptorum, one new khellactone ester (3'R)-O-acetyl-(4'S)-O-angeloylkhellactone (3), as well as four known angular dihydropyranocoumarins (1, 2, 4, 5) have been isolated. On the basis of NMR spectra and X-ray crystallography, their structures were determined. We have elucidated

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of angular pyranocoumarin (±) -4'-O- acetyl-3'-Oangeloyl- cis- khellactone (APC) extracted from peucedanum praeruptoruon on the proliferation and apoptosis of U266 cells, and to explore its related mechanism. METHODS APC was extracted by petroleum ether

Five compounds were isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Qianhu, roots of Peucedanum praeruptorum. Their structures were identified as 3'-angeloyloxykhellactone (IX), qianhucoumarin B (X), qianhucoumarin C (XI), Pd-III (XIII) and peucedanocoumarin III (XV). Among them, X and XI are new

A new angular dihydropyrancoumarin named wulongensin A, along with five known coumarins, (-)-anomalin, umbelliferone, (-)-smyrinol, 3'(S),4'(S)-disenecioyloxy-3',4'-dihydroseselin, (+)-trans-khellactone, was isolated from the root of Peucedanum wulongense. The structure of wulongensin A was

Differentiation therapy for myeloid leukemia offers great potential as a supplement to the current treatment modalities. In the present report, we investigated if the pyranocoumarins, (+/-)-4'- O-acetyl-3'- O-angeloyl- cis-khellactone (or angular pyranocoumarin, APC) isolated from the medicinal

The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), an ATP-driven membrane exporter of hydrophobic xenobiotics, is one of the major causes of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. Through extensive screening we have found that the extracts of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn. and one of the major
