schisandra arisanensis/neoplasms

A different behavior of the two dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (+)-deoxyschisandrin (1) and (-)-gomisin N (2), from Schisandra chinensis fruits, was observed against two human tumour cell lines, (2008 and LoVo). These lignans inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner on both cell lines, but

Gomisin A, isolated from the fruits of Schisandra chinensis, is one of the dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans. Application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA, 1 microgram/ear), a tumor-promoting agent, to the ears of mice induces inflammation. Among seven dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans assayed,

Primary liver cancer is a lethal cancer. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of liver cancer. Gomisin N (GN), a lignan isolated from the dried fruits of Schisandra chinensis (Turca.) Baill., has been

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subgroup of human breast cancer. In this study, we have examined the potential of Schisandrin B (Sch B), a bioactive chemical compound found in Schisandra chinensis, against TNBC. We used MDA-MB-231, BT-549, and MDA-MB-468 TNBC cells and

Gomisin A (G.A) is a dietary lignan compound from Schisandra chinensis. In this study, the effect of G.A on the proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells was investigated using several CRC cell lines and a lung metastasis mouse model. Both oral and intraperitoneal administration

BACKGROUND Gomisin G, isolated from herb Schisandra chinensis, exhibits anti-tumor activities. Therefore, Gomisin G is a drug candidate for anti-liver cancer therapy. OBJECTIVE To predict the metabolic behavior and metabolism-based drug-drug interaction of gomisin G. METHODS Molecular docking method

Gomisin A, a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, has been reported as an anti-cancer substance. In this study, we investigated the effects of gomisin A on cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells. Gomisin A significantly inhibited cell

UNASSIGNED Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major reason for the failure of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC), and the primary determinant of MDR in CRC patients is active drug efflux owing to overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cancer tissues. Despite research efforts to overcome

Despite massive investments in drug research and development, the significant decline in the number of new drugs approved or translated to clinical use raises the question, whether single targeted drug discovery is the right approach. To combat complex systemic diseases that harbour robust

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer lacking prognostic and effective therapeutic targets currently. In this study, we evaluated the toxic potential of schisandrin A (SchA), a bioactive phytochemical found in Schisandra chinensis in TNBC. The anti-cancer effect and

Dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans isolated from Schisandra chinensis showed antiproliferative effects in various human cancer cells. The methoxy groups at C-3, C-4, C-3', and C-4', the hydroxyl group at C-8', and the stereo-configuration of the biphenyl ring and the angeloyl group might have influence

Schizandrin is one of the main dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans present in the fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Schisandraceae). Biological activities including hepatoprotective, antiviral and neuroprotective effects of schizandrin and other dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans have been reported previously.

A phytochemical study on the fruits of Schisandra chinensis led to the isolation and characterization of nineteen compounds. The structures of the isolates were determined to be schizandrin, deoxyschizandrin, angeloylgomisin H, gomisin A, gomisin J, (-)-gomisin L1, (-)-gomisin L2, wuweizisu C,

Geranylgeranoic acid (GGA; all-trans 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2,6,10,14-hexadecatetraenoic acid) has been shown to induce apoptosis in a human hepatoma-derived cell line, HuH-7. We aimed not only to confirm the apoptogenic properties of GGA and its derivatives, but also to search for natural GGA in

OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of schisandra lignans extract (SLE) on stress-evoked hepatic metastases of mastocytoma P815 tumor cells, which was closely related with immune function. METHODS The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint of SLE
