Structure elucidation of new oleanane-type glycosides from three species of Acanthophyllum

2010

From the roots of three species of Acanthophyllum (Caryophyllaceae), two new gypsogenic acid glycosides, 1 and 2, were isolated, 1 from A. sordidum and A. lilacinum, 2 from A. elatius and A. lilacinum, together with three known saponins, glandulosides B and C, and SAPO50. The structures of 1 and 2 were established mainly by 2D NMR techniques as 23-O-β-D-galactopyranosylgypsogenic acid-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(13)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(16)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and gypsogenic acid-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(13)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(16)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (2). The cytotoxicity of several of these saponins was evaluated against two human colon cancer cell lines (HT-29 and HCT 116). Copyr…

Retinoid acid and analogs as potent inducers of differentiation and apoptosis. New promising chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents in oncology

2001

Abstract In this report we will describe the preparation and the biological activity of a novel class of heterocyclic arotinoids endowed with potent cytotoxic and apoptotic acitivity. Structure­activity relationship studies revealed that the different stereochemistry at the C9 double bond of retinoids seems associated with a different biological activity: potent apoptotic activity for the cis-isomers, whereas differentiating activity for the trans structures. An interesting modified Wittig procedure that allows easily to arotinoids will also be described. The substitution of the alkenyl portion with a more flexible oxymethyl or aminomethyl moiety gave compounds with poor activity, whereas i…

General Cytotoxicity Assessment by Means of the MTT Assay

2014

Cytotoxicity assays were among the first in vitro bioassay methods used to predict toxicity of substances to various tissues. In vitro cytotoxicity testing provides a crucial means for safety assessment and screening, and for ranking compounds. The choice of using a particular cytotoxicity assay technology may be influenced by specific research goals. As such, four main classes of assays are used to monitor the response of cultured cells after treatment with potential toxicants. These methods measure viability, cell membrane integrity, cell proliferation, and metabolic activity. In this chapter, we focus on the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide tetrazolium reducti…

Evaluation of the Cytotoxicity of Cholesterol Oxides in Human Colon Cancer Caco-2 Cells

2014

The content of cholesterol oxides (COPs) in foods varies between 0.1 and 294.3 mg/g. These oxides are formed by auto-oxidative enzymatic processes promoted by the heat treatment of food and/or to exposition of them to the presence of oxygen and sunlight during storage. Their importance is that they are associated with pathological processes like apoptosis, dyslipidemia and pro-oxidative states, among others. The objective was to evaluate the cytotoxicity, by means MTT assay, of 7-keto cholesterol (7KC), cholestane-triol (Triol), α-epoxy cholesterol (α-epoxy C), β-epoxy cholesterol (β-epoxy C) in differentiated Caco-2 cells at 120μM for 24, 48 and 72h.Triol was the most cytotoxic COP, with a…
