apoptosis inducer

Sarsasapogenin (Parigenin) is a steroidal sapogenin, that is the aglycosidic portion of a plant saponin. It is named after sarsaparilla (Smilax sp.), a family of climbing plants found in subtropical regions. It was one of the first sapogenins to be identified, and the first spirostan steroid to be identified as such.

3'-Hydroxypterostilbene (3'-HPT), a natural pterostilbene analogue, effectively inhibits the growth of human colon cancer cells with IC50s of 9.0, 40.2, and 70.9 μM for COLO 205, HCT-116, and HT-29 cells, respectively, by inducing apoptosis and autophagy. 3'-Hydroxypterostilbene inhibits the p38MAPK , and PI3K/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K pathways and activates the ERK1/2, JNK1/2 MAPK pathways[1].

β-Elemonic Acid (3-Oxotirucallenoic Acid) exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. Beta-Elemonic acid inhibits proliferation by inducing hypoploid cells and cell apoptosis, the anticancer effects of beta-Elemonic acid are related to the MAPK signaling pathway, ROS activation and glutathione depletion in human A549 lung cancer cells. Beta-Elemonic acid exhibits prolyl endopeptidase inhibitory activities.

Tectorigenin (4',5,7-Trihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone) is an O-methylated isoflavone. Tectorigenin Promotes Osteoblast Differentiation and in vivo Bone Healing, but Suppresses Osteoclast Differentiation and in vivo Bone Resorption.

Methyl protodioscin (Smilax saponin B) potentially increase HDL cholesterol while reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Methyl protodioscin has antitumor property. Methyl protodioscin induced apoptotic process in human A549 cells is closely associated with Mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-3, and mitochondrial cytochrome c.

Betulinaldehyde (Betunal) has the inhibition of Saccharomyces sp and alpha-glucosidase. Betulinaldehyde induces apoptosis in mouse B16 2F2 cells. Betulinaldehyde has anti-proliferative activity against mouse +SA mammary epithelial cells.

Atractylenolide III (ICodonolactone) may have therapeutic potential in treating homocysteine-mediated cognitive impairment and neuronal injury. Atractylenolide III is a potential candidate for the treatment of human lung carcinoma by inducing the release of cytochrome c, upregulating the expression of Bax and translocating apoptosis-inducing factor.

10-Gingerol-induced apoptosis was accompanied by phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) family, p38 MAPK (p38), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK).

Ginsenoside F2 has antiproliferative activity against breast cancer stem cells (CSCs). It induces apoptosis in breast CSCs by activating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Myristoleic acid (9-Tetradecenoic acid) is a cytotoxic component in the extract from Serenoa repens. Myristoleic acid induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells.

9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III (9-DHAB III)is an apoptosis inducer. It shows cytotoxicity against the MCF7 cell line and drug-resistant cell line MCF7-ADR.

Epibrassinolide (BP55) (EBR) is a biologically active compound of the brassinosteroids, is a natural brassinosteroid (BR) derivative, is a plant regulator with a similar structure to mammalian steroids.

HYPOCRELLIN B are photosensitive pigments isolated from Hypocrella bambusae Sacc. Hypocrellin B causes DNA strand breakage, induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells, and inhibits proliferation of Staphylococcus by increasing ROS levels, and damaging cell

Britannin, a sesquiterpene lactone, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial signaling pathway in human breast cancer cells.

Sophoraflavanone G (Kushenol F) (Kushenol F), isolated from Sophora flavescens, induces MDA-MB-231 and HL-60 cells apoptosis through suppression of MAPK-related pathways.

Gomisin N, isolated from Schisandra chinensis, exhibits sedative and hypnotic bioactivity. It has potential applications in allergy treatment and inhibits proliferation while inducing apoptosis in cancer cells.

Tubulysin A is a natural product from myxobacterial. It has many function in vitro assays, including anti-microtubule, anti-mitotic, an apoptosis inducer, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic.

Apoptosis Inducer 5, a lignan enantiomer extracted from Crataegus pinnatifida, demonstrates cytotoxic properties through inducing apoptosis and autophagy in Hep3B cells.

Conophylline is a natural alkaloid extracted from a tropical plant Ervatamia microphylla. Conophylline is a differentiation inducer of for pancreatic cells and suppresses HSC and induces apoptosis.

Actinonin ((-)-Actinonin) is a naturally occurring antibacterial agent produced by Actinomyces and a potent reversible peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor with a Ki of 0.28 nM. It also induces apoptosis and inhibits aminopeptidase M, aminopeptidase N, and leucine aminopeptidase, as well as MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and meprin α with Ki values of 300 nM, 1,700 nM, 190 nM, 330 nM, and 20 nM, respectively. Actinonin exhibits antiproliferative and antitumor activities [1][2][3][4][5].

Lupulon has a role as an apoptosis inducer, antimicrobial agent, angiogenesis inhibitor, and antineoplastic agent.

Apoptolidin is an apoptosis inducer originally isolated from Nocardiopsis bacteria. It inhibits the mitochondrial F1FO ATPase (Ki = 4-5 μM). Apoptolidin selectively kills transformed glial cells without significantly affecting untransformed cells. It also has antibiotic and antifungal actions.
