Abstract
Arylnaphthalene lignan lactones have attracted considerable interest because of their anti-tumor and anti-hyperlipidimic activities. However, to our knowledge, few studies have explored the effects of these compounds on human leukemia cell lines. In this study, five arylnaphthalene lignans including 6′-hydroxy justicidin A (HJA), 6′-hydroxy justicidin B (HJB), justicidin B (JB), chinensinaphthol methyl ether (CME) and Taiwanin E methyl ether (TEME) were isolated from Justicia procumbens and their effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of the human leukemia K562 cell line were investigated then used to assess structure-activity relationships. To achieve these aims, cytotoxicity was assayed using the MTT assay, while intracellular SOD activity was detected using the SOD Activity Assay kit. Apoptosis was measured by both the using a cycle TEST PLUS DNA reagent kit as well as the FITC Annexin V apoptosis detection kit in combination with flow cytometry. Activation of caspase-mediated apoptosis was evaluated using a FITC active Caspase-3 apoptosis kit and flow cytometry. The results indicated that HJB, HJA and JB significantly inhibited the growth of K562 cells by decreasing both proliferation and SOD activity and inducing apoptosis. The sequence of anti-proliferative activity induced by the five tested arylnaphthalenes by decreasing strength was HJB > HJA > JB > CME > TEME. HJB, HJA and JB also decreased SOD activity and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Activation of caspase-3 further indicated that HJB, HJA and JB induced caspase-dependent intrinsic and/or extrinsic apoptosis pathways. Together, these assays suggest that arylnaphthalene lignans derived from Justicia procumbens induce apoptosis to varying degrees, through a caspase-dependent pathway in human leukemia K562 cells. Furthermore, analysis of structure-activity relationships suggest that hydroxyl substitution at C-1 and C-6′ significantly increased the antiproliferative activity of arylnaphthalene lignans while a methoxyl at C-1 significantly decreased the effect.

Abstract
A series of different heteroaromatic linked 4β-amidopodophyllotoxin conjugates (16a-i, 17a-i and 18a-d) were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity against five human cancer cell lines. Among the series, one of the compound 17g showed significant antiproliferative activity in A549 (lung cancer) cell line. Flow cytometric analysis showed that 17g arrested the cell cycle in the G2/M phase leading to caspase-3 dependent apoptotic cell death. Further, Hoechst 33258 staining and DNA fragmentation assay also suggests that 17g induces cell death by apoptosis.

Abstract
Several podophyllotoxin derivatives modified in the A, B, C, D and E rings were prepared from podophyllotoxin and methyl isoxazopodophyllic acid and evaluated for their cytotoxicity on several neoplastic cell lines. Chemical transformations performed on these compounds have yielded derivatives more potent and more selective that the parent compound. Most of the compounds maintained their cytotoxicity at the microM level. Distribution, biosynthesis, production, biotechnology, applications and synthesis have also been reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Topoisomerase II (Topo II) preferentially cuts DNA at alternating purine-pyrimidine repeats. Different Topo II poisons may affect Topo II to produce distinct drug-specific DNA cleavage patterns. GL331 is a new podophyllotoxin derivative exhibiting potent Topo II-poisoning activity. Therefore, the sequence selectivity of GL331-induced DNA cleavage was determined. METHODS Human gastric adenocarcinoma SC-M1 cells were treated with GL331, and the resultant DNA fragments were isolated by SDS-K+ precipitation. These DNA fragments were further cloned and sequenced to exhibit GL331-induced DNA cleavage sites. In addition, the telomere damage was detected by Southern blot analyses using a (TTAGGG)4 probe. GL331's effect on telomerase was examined using the TRAP assay. RESULTS The selective sequences of GL331-induced DNA cleavage were analyzed. The first nucleotide 3'-terminal to the cleavage sites was preferentially C or G and followed by the second nucleotide T. More than 50% of GL331-induced DNA cleavage fragments exhibited AT-rich sequences in the first 20 nucleotides. In addition, the telomeric damage was observed both from GL331-treated SC-M1 cells and in vitro incubation of genomic DNA with GL331 and purified human Topo II. Although GL331 treatment reduced cellular telomerase activity, in vitro reaction data suggested that GL331 was not a telomerase inhibitor. CONCLUSION GL331 preferentially induced Topo II-mediated DNA cleavage at (C/G)T sites. Because the telomeric repeat sequence contains GL331's GT preference site, the telomere was identified as one of the targets of GL331-induced DNA damage.

Abstract
Combination of selecting agents that act on different cellular mechanisms is a common strategy in cancer chemotherapy. GL331 is a new potent topoisomerase II (Topo II) poison; distinctly, paclitaxel is a microtubule-interfering cancer chemotherapeutic agent. In this study, we intended to evaluate the efficacy of combining GL331 with paclitaxel in cell killing and apoptotic induction in nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC-TW01 cells. By MTT and internucleosomal DNA cleavage assays, we found that pretreatment or simultaneous treatment of NPC-TW01 cells with GL331 could significantly interfere with paclitaxel's cell killing and apoptosis-inducing activity. When the administration schedule was reversed, the cytotoxicity of GL331 was attenuated by paclitaxel pretreatment. The anti-cancer activity produced by combining GL331 with paclitaxel was obviously lower than the addition of the activities of two individual agents. NPC-TW01 cells were treated with GL331 and 3H-labeled paclitaxel simultaneously or with GL331 before 3H-labeled paclitaxel. In both conditions, GL331 did not reduce the [3H]paclitaxel level in the cells, suggesting that GL331's interference with paclitaxel's cell-killing and apoptosis-inducing efficacy did not result from any inhibition of cellular uptake or retention of paclitaxel. In addition, we found that GL331-induced perturbation of cell cycle progression dramatically over-rode the patterns of mitotic arrest induced by paclitaxel, and the mechanism could be the inhibition of cyclin B1/CDC2 kinase and MAD2 checkprotein activities.
