Docetaxel trihydrate (RP-56976 Trihydrate) is an antineoplastic agent that has a unique mechanism of action as an inhibitor of cellular mitosis and that currently plays a central role in the therapy of many solid tumor including breast and lung cancer. Therapy with docetaxel has been associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations and rarely to instances of acute hepatic necrosis generally due to severe hypersensitivity reactions or sepsis.

4-Vinylphenol is the metabolite of p-coumaric and ferulic acid by lactic acid bacteria in wine found in Hedyotis diffusa Willd. 4-Vinylphenol induces apoptosis in vivo.

Sophoridine (Dihydro-5-episophocarpine), a natural anticancer drug, has been used in China for decades. A series of novel N-substituted Sophoridinic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity with 1 as the lead. The structure-activity relationship indicated that introduction of an aliphatic acyl on the nitrogen atom might significantly enhance the anticancer activity. Among the compounds, 6b bearing bromoacetyl side-chain afforded a potential effect against four human tumor cell lines (liver, colon, breast, and lung). The mechanism of action of 6b is to inhibit the activity of DNA topoisomerase I, followed by the S-phase arrest and then cause apoptotic cell death, similar to that of its parent 1.

1. Berberine (Umbellatine) is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. 2. Berberine may as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial medicine, a complementary therapeutic agent for HIV AIDS. 3. Berberine seems to act as an herbal antidepressant and a neuroprotector against neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Berberine is used in histology for staining heparin in mast cells. As a natural dye, berberine has a colour index of 7516. 5. Berberine reduces hepatic fat content in rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; also prevents proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are central for the development of fibrosis during liver injury. 6. Berberine can ameliorate proinflammatory cytokines-induced intestinal epithelial tight junction damage in vitro, and berberine may be one of the targeted therapeutic agents that can restore barrier function in intestinal disease states. 7. Berberine has antineoplastic effects, including breast cancer, leukemia, melanoma, epidermoid carcinoma, hepatoma, pancreatic cancer, oral carcinoma, tongue carcinoma, glioblastoma, prostate carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, etc.

Lariciresinol is an enterolignan precursor, it possesses fungicidal activities by disrupting the fungal plasma membrane and therapeutic potential as a novel antifungal agent for the treatment of fungal infectious diseases in humans. Dietary lariciresinol

Demethylzeylasteral (T-96), isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii, has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities. It inhibits the invasion of triple-negative breast cancer by blocking the TGF-β signaling pathway, and it can significantly reduce atherosclerosis.

5,7,3',4'-Tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-8,5'-diprenylflavone demonstrated a strong anti-proliferative effect on ER-positive breast cancer MCF-7 cells in vitro, with an IC50 value of 4.41 μM. It significantly down-regulated the expression of estrogen receptor-α (ER-α) and inhibited tumor growth in the BCAP-37 human breast cancer cell line xenograft model.

Mollicellin H, a secondary metabolite from the fungus C. brasiliense, exhibits an array of biological activities such as immunomodulation, cytotoxicity, and anti-tumor properties. It demonstrates growth inhibitory effects (GI 50 s) on various human cell lines, including breast cancer (Bre04) at 5.1 μg mL, lung (Lu04) at 6.5 μg mL, and neuroma (N04) at 2.5 μg mL [1].

Ardeemin ((-)-Ardeemin) binds to P-glycoprotein, inhibiting the efflux of anticancer drugs from cells. In breast cancer xenograft models, Ardeemin can reverse the multidrug resistance phenotype of tumor cells and enhance their sensitivity to anticancer drugs.

9-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione is a steroid hormone. It has anti-tumor activity and can inhibit the growth of many types of cancer cells, including breast, prostate and lung cancer cells.

ExcisaninA may be a potent inhibitor of AKT signaling pathway in tumor cells, it can inhibit invasion by suppressing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression, it may be a potential anti-metastatic chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. Excisanin A shows comparable inhibitory effects on the LPS-induced production of NO and PGE2, and activation of NF-kappaB without affecting cell viability.Excisanin A induces apoptosis in colon cancer cell line SW620 as determined by Annexin V staining, the cleavage of caspase-3 and the proteolytic degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).

Juglanin is a JNK activator. Juglanin with inflammation and anti-tumor activities. It can induce apoptosis and autophagy on human breast cancer cells.

Chamaejasmenin B is a compound isolated from Stellera chamaejasme L. Chamaejasmenin B has anticancer and antitumor activity, inhibiting cancer cell migration and invasion, and inhibiting tumor metastasis.Chamaejasmenin B is used in the study of cancers such as breast cancer.

Dimethylmatairesinol can reduce the amount of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) secreted by human myeloma U266 cells, it has potential as an anti-allergic agent. Dimethylmatairesinol also exhibits significant cytotoxicity against three human tumor cells(A-549 lung c

Chlorahololide D is a natural lindane-type sesquiterpene dimer and selective potassium channel blocker that stimulates reactive oxygen species ROS levels to cause cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase, modulates Bcl-2 and Bax and FAK, thereby inhibiting MCF-7 cell growth and triggering apoptosis. Chlorahololide D inhibits tumor proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in in vivo experiments and has anti-breast cancer potential.

Cichoriin is a photosensitive compound, it could be used as herbal photosensitizing agent in treating benign breast tumor in rats.
