lindera umbellata/neoplasms

OBJECTIVE To study the anti-tumor metastatic constituents from Lindera glauca. METHODS Constituent isolation and purification was carried by repeated column chromatography (silica gel, Toyopearl HW-40 and preparative HPLC). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis. The

d-Dicentrine, a naturally occurring aporphine type isoquinoline alkaloid, isolated from the root of Lindera megaphylla Hemsl. (Lauraceae), was evaluated for its potential anti-cancer activity. We found d-dicentrine significantly inhibited the growth of human hepatoma cell line HuH-7 by delaying its

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Treatment options, especially in advanced tumor stages, are still limited. Inhibition of signaling cascades involved in the pathogenesis of HCC - such as NF-ĸB - offer a promising therapeutic approach. Aim of this study

Four cyclopentenediones, farnesyl protein transferase inhibitors, and anti-tumor compounds were isolated from the methanolic extract of the fruits of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino (Lauraceae). The structure of the compounds was determined by spectral data including NMR and mass spectrometry, and

OBJECTIVE Novel agents that target multiple aspects of androgen receptor (AR) signaling are desirable for chemoprevention and treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). We aimed to identify compounds isolated from medicinal herbs as such drug candidates. METHODS In the LNCaP human androgen sensitive PCa

Methyl linderone (ML), a cyclo-pentenedione, was isolated from the fruit of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino (family Lauraceae). This plant has well-known anti-inflammatory effects; however, the anti-cancer effects of ML have not yet been reported. Thus, the present study investigated the effects

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor, which remains incurable. Plant extracts are a potential source of potent anticancer medicines. In this study, we investigated the effect of isolinderalactone from Lindera aggregata on tumor growth using U-87 human glioblastoma

BACKGROUND In traditional Chinese and Korean medicine, an aqueous extract derived from wood and bark of the Japanese spice bush Lindera obtusiloba (L.obtusiloba) is applied to treat inflammations and chronic liver diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma. We previously demonstrated anti-fibrotic

Context: Methyl lucidone (ML) from the dried fruit of Lindera erythrocarpa Makino (Lauraceae) exhibits cytotoxic effects in various cancer cell lines. However, its effects on ovarian cancer cells remain unknown.Objective: This study evaluates the mechanism of ML-induced

Development of an efficient treatment for triple-negative breast cancer is an urgent issues. Compounds from plant extracts are a potential source of novel cancer treatment. Isolinderalactone, a kind of sesquiterpenoids compound, was purified from the root of Lindera strychnifolia and Neolitsea

To study the chemical constitutes from the roots of Lindera glauca and the alkaloids influence on proliferation of HT-29,SGC-7901,SMMC-7721 and A549 cell lines. The constituents were isolated by column chromatography such as RP-18,Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel,and their structures were elucidated by

Lindera megaphylla has been traditionally used as an antineoplastic and wound healing remedy. We previously demonstrated the antitumor effects of D-dicentrine, a natural aporphine alkaloid from the root of L. megaphylla. To generate analogues, series of phenanthrene alkaloids from D-dicentrine were

Lindera strychifolia, a scandent shrub Lauraceous medicinal plant, has been used in Chinese traditional medicine as a palliative and an anti-spasmodic. It also shows cytotoxic effects against several tumor cell lines and inhibits marcromolecule biosynthesis. This study investigated the anti-tumor

BACKGROUND Natural products inhibiting fatty acid synthase are potential therapeutic agents to treat cancer. OBJECTIVE To investigate the chemical constituents of the root tubers of Lindera aggregate and the stems of Linderanacusua, and to find natural inhibitors on the expression level on fatty

A new rearranged eudesmane sesquiterpene, named eudeglaucone (1), and five known sesquiterpenes including (+)-faurinone (2) and four eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes (3-6), were isolated from the twigs of Lindera glauca (Sieb. et Zucc.) Blume. The structure of 1 was elucidated by a combination of
