| cytotoxic falcarinol oxylipins from dendropanax arboreus. | the crude organic extract of dendropanax arboreus was selected as a candidate for bioassayguided fractionation on the basis of its relatively selective cytotoxicity to a subset of cell lines within the national cancer institute's disease-oriented in vitro tumor-screening panel. the major compound responsible for the in vitro cytotoxicity was falcarinol (1). several other known compounds were isolated and found to be cytotoxic, including dehydrofalcarinol (2), a diyenne (3), falcarindiol (4), and ... | 1996 | 8792622 |
| a cytotoxic diacetylene from dendropanax arboreus. | the crude ethanol extract from the leaves of dendropanax arboreus (araliaceae) from monteverde, costa rica, exhibits cytotoxic activity against hep-g2, a-431, h-4iie, and l-1210 tumor cell lines, but is not toxic against normal hepatocytes. the active component has been isolated by activity-directed separation and identified by 1h- and 13c-nmr spectroscopy as the acetylenic compound cis-1,9,16-heptadecatriene-4,6-diyne-3,8-diol. | 1995 | 7480210 |
