Multidrug-resistant cancer cell susceptibility to cytotoxic quassinoids, and cancer chemopreventive effects of quassinoids and canthin alkaloids
Copyright policy )Multidrug-resistant cancer cell susceptibility to cytotoxic quassinoids, and cancer chemopreventive effects of quassinoids and canthin alkaloids
Twenty-three quassinoids (1-23), which were isolated previously from Simaroubaceous plants, were evaluated for cytotoxicity against three multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines, KB-VIN, KB-7d, and KB-CPT. Nine compounds (2-7 and 9-11) showed significant cytotoxicity in all three cell lines. Compounds 1, 12-14, 17, and 20 demonstrated significant activity against the KB-7d and KB-CPT cell lines, and compounds 18, 19, and 23 revealed notable activity only against KB-7d cells. Structure-activity relationships were drawn based on these data. In addition, six quassinoid derivatives (24-29) and four canthin alkaloids (30-33), which were isolated from Brucea antidysenterica, were examined for their inhibitory effects on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation as cancer chemopreventive agents. All of these compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against EBV-EA activation.
