(+)-Dehydroabietylamine derivatives target triple-negative breast cancer.
2015
Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. The invasive triple-negative subtype is unresponsive to estrogen therapy, and few effective treatments are available. In search of new chemical scaffolds to target this disease, we conducted a phenotypic screen against the human breast carcinoma cell lines MDA-MB-231, MA11, and MCF-7 using terrestrial natural products. Natural products that preferentially inhibited proliferation of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells over estrogen receptor-positive cells were further studied; herein we focused on the abietanes. The activity of the abietane carnosol prompted us to generate a focus library from the readily available (+)…
Phytochemical Investigation of the Labiate Dorystoechas hastata
1988
Abstract Carnosol (11,12-dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-trien-20-oic acid 20,7-lactone), and rosmanol (7α, 11, 12-trihydroxy-abieta-8, 11, 13-trien-20 oic acid-20, 6-lactone), two abietane diterpenes previously isolated from Rosmarinus officinalis, have been isolated from leaves of Dorystoechas hastata. Luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside, 6-methoxyluteolin-7-glucoside, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid have also obtained from the same source. The co-occurrence of carnosol, rosmanol and 6-methoxyluteolin-7-glucoside support the close relationship of these two genera.
The abietane diterpene taxodione contributes to the antioxidant activity of rosemary by-product in muscle tissue
2019
International audience; Research on rosemary antioxidant activity and its potential use in human health and food applications is focused on rosemary leaves and two main bioactive compounds carnosic acid and carnosol. However, many other, not-yet identified molecules could be present, especially in rosemary by-products. In this study, we first showed that rosemary stem extract was the most efficient in protecting human skeletal muscle cells against oxidation. Then, using bioassay-guided fractionation, we identified taxodione, an abietane diterpene, as the main bioactive molecule in the rosemary stem extract. We demonstrated that taxodione protects skeletal muscle cells from hydrogen peroxide…
