thujaplicin/neoplasms

β-Thujaplicin, one of the major constituents in Chamaecyparis obtusa, has been demonstrated to exert different health beneficial efficacy, but the role of β-thujaplicin in regulating mammary tumorigenesis has not been investigated. In this study, we found that β-thujaplicin significantly suppressed

β-Thujaplicin, a natural monoterpenoid, has been demonstrated to exert health beneficial activities in chronic diseases. However, it has not been studied in regulating estrogen receptor (ER) negative breast cancer. Here, we investigated the effect of β-thujaplicin on inhibiting ER-negative

Chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity of hinokitiol (beta-thujaplicin), used as an antibiotic and fungicidal agent of a food additive, was examined in both sexes of F344/DuCrj (F344) rats. In this chronic toxicity study, groups of 10 rats of each sex were given a diet containing hinokitiol at doses

Beta-dolabrin, gamma-thujaplicin, and 4-acetyltropolone, the components of Aomori Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO), showed antifungal activity on seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi, antibacterial activity against two kinds of Legionella sp., and in vitro cytotoxic

Gamma-thujaplicin and beta-dolabrin, the constituents of the wood of Thujopsis dolabrata Sieb. et Zucc. var. hondai showed strong in vitro cytotoxic effects against the human stomach cancer cell lines KATO-III and Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma. The cytotoxic effects of the two compounds against both

Hinokitiol, alternatively known as β-thujaplicin, is a tropolone-associated natural compound with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity. Breast cancer stem/progenitor cells (BCSCs) are a subpopulation of breast cancer cells associated with tumor initiation, chemoresistance and

The cytotoxic effects of beta-thujaplicin and five kinds of metal chelates were examined on mouse melanoma B16BL6 cells by cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Beta-thujaplicin-zinc chelate and beta-thujaplicin-copper chelate had higher cytotoxic effects than

Natural β-thujaplicin displays a remarkable array of biological activities for the prevention or treatment of various disorders while its tropolone scaffold inspired the synthesis of new analogs. The main goal of the current study was to evaluate the influence of 4-substituted piperazine moieties at

Hinokitiol (β-thujaplicin) is a tropolone-related compound that has anti-microbe, anti-inflammation, and anti-tumor effects. Cancer stem/progenitor cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells with tumor initiation, chemoresistant, and metastatic properties and have been considered the important

Alpha-thujaplicin, a minor component of Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO, which was synthesized, showed the antibacterial activity, phytogrowth-inhibitory effect, inhibition of carboxypeptidase A and cytotoxic effect. Antibacterial activity of alpha-thujaplicin on Enterococcus

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common liver malignancy worldwide, has high morbidity and mortality. β-Thujaplicin, a tropolone derivative, has been used in some health-care products and clinical adjuvant drugs, but its use for HCC is unknown. In this study, we found that β-Thujaplicin inhibits

Increasing evidence has confirmed that hinokitiol (beta-thujaplicin), a tropolone-related compound, exhibits anticancer activity in a variety of cancers through inhibition of cell proliferation. The present study indicates that hinokitiol selectively inhibits cell growth and DNA synthesis in FEM

Hinokitiol (beta-thujaplicin), a troplone-related compound found in the heartwood of cupressaceous plants, strongly inhibits the proliferation of a broad range of tumor cell lines. This is the first report to demonstrate that hinokitiol, a metal chelator derived from natural plants, suppresses cell

Hinokitiol ( β -thujaplicin), a tropolone-related compound found in the heartwood cupressaceous plants, is widely used in hair tonics, tooth pastes, cosmetics, and food as an antimicrobial agent. Increasing evidence has confirmed that hinokitiol exhibits anticancer activity in a variety of cancers
