Synthesis of labelled precursors of podophyllotoxin
Podophyllotoxin is an aryltetralin lignan and anticancer agent produced by the <i>Podophyllum</i> and some other species and is extracted from Podophyllin in up to 30 percent yield. Little definitive information is available on the biosynthetic pathways to podophyllotoxin. Administering various …

Study of podophyllotoxin biosynthesis in Podophyllum species
… afford the various Iignan skeleton structures. Podophyllotoxin is a tetrahydronaphthalene lignan found in Podophyllum species, and its derivative etoposide is widely used medicinally for skin cancer and venereal warts (Condyloma acuminatum). In this investigation, the biogenetic pathway to …

Studies on the biosynthesis of podophyllotoxin:synthesis of labelled yatein and matairesinol, two potential precursors of podophyllotoxin
Podophyllotoxin, a naturally occurring lignan isolated from several species of Podophyllum, is used as a precursor to the clinical chemotherapeutic agents teniposide and etoposide. The biosynthesis of podophyllotoxin is not fully understood, but its optical activity, like that of most lignans, is …

Studies on biological activities of Scottish plants.
… = 1.18 x 10-6 muM) when compared to the control podophyllotoxin (LD50 = 6.5 x 10-6 muM). The two lignans, arctiin and malairesinol and the control podophyllotoxin were tested in in both hypoxic and normoxic conditions, using 3 cell lines CaCo2, MCF -7, and MDA 468 and it was observed that they …

Therapeutic Targeting of BMP and TGF-β Signalling Pathways for the Resolution of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
… drugs (doxorubicin, taxol, digitoxin and podophyllotoxin) inhibit the excessive proliferation and induce apoptosis in BMPR2 mutant PASMCs by modulating the BMP and TGF-β pathways. Moreover, established drug PTC124 has also been tested but has failed to promote translational readthrough. I …

An investigation into the antineoplastic potential of Bridelia Micrantha Constituents
… lignan glycosides (structurally related to podophyllotoxin), served as motivation for undertaking this study. The in vitro antineoplastic potential of several different solvent extracts of B. micrantha (bark) has been investigated. Five out of the six primary extracts displayed impressive …
