Abstract
BACKGROUND M. pyrrhocarpa is a new plant in the Fabaceae: Faboideae family that is found in Thailand. A literature search revealed that the Milletia genus is rich in bioactive compounds possessing a wide range of biological activities. In this study, we aimed to isolate novel bioactive compounds and to study their bioactivities. METHODS The hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts from the leaves and twigs of M. pyrrhocarpa were isolated and purified using chromatography techniques. These extracts and pure compounds were tested in vitro for their inhibitory activities against nine strains of bacteria, as well as their anti-HIV-1 virus activity and cytotoxicity against eight cancer cell lines. RESULTS Three rotenoids, named 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1), 6aS, 12aS, 12S-munduserol (2), dehydromunduserone (3), and crude extracts were evaluated for antibacterial, anti-HIV, and cytotoxic activities. It was found that compounds 1-3 inhibited the growth of nine strains of bacteria, and the best MIC/MBC values were obtained at 3/ > 3 mg/mL. The hexane extract showed anti-HIV-1 RT with the highest %inhibition at 81.27 at 200 mg/mL, while 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1) reduced syncytium formation in 1A2 cells with a maximum EC50 value of 4.48 μM. Furthermore, 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1) showed cytotoxicity against A549 and Hep G2 cells with maximum ED50 values of 2.27 and 3.94 μg/mL. CONCLUSION This study led to the isolation of constituents with potential for medicinal application, providing compounds (1-3) as lead compounds against nine strains of bacteria. The hexane extract showed the highest %inhibition of HIV-1 virus, Compound 1 showed the best EC50 in reducing syncytium formation in 1A2 cells, and it also showed the best ED50 against human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2). The isolated compounds from M. pyrrhocarpa offered significant potential for future medicinal application studies.

Abstract
While obesity is a well-known health threatening condition worldwide, effective pharmacological interventions for obesity suppression have been limited due to adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to explore alternative medical treatments for combating obesity. Inhibition of the adipogenesis process and lipid accumulation are critical targets for controlling and treating obesity. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is a traditional herbal remedy for various ailments. A natural product from its fruit, genipin, has major pharmacological properties; it is anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. We investigated the effects of a genipin analogue, G300, on adipogenic differentiation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). G300 suppressed the expression of adipogenic marker genes and adipokines secreted by adipocytes at concentrations of 10 and 20 μM, which effectively reduced the adipogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs and lipid accumulation in adipocytes. It also improved adipocyte function by lowering inflammatory cytokine secretion and increasing glucose uptake. For the first time, we show that G300 has the potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity and its related disorders.

Abstract
Seven previously undescribed compounds, including five pyranonaphthoquinones (ventilanones L-P) and two naphthoquinones (ventilanones Q and R), along with 15 known compounds were isolated from the stem bark of Ventilago harmandiana (Rhamnaceae). The structures were established by extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of ventilanone L was established from single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis using Cu Kα radiation and from its electronic circular dichroism data. Anti-HIV-1 activity using a syncytium inhibition assay and the cytotoxic activities of some isolated compounds were evaluated. Compounds 12, 13, 15, and 16 showed activity against syncytium formation with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values ranging from 9.9 to 47 μM (selectivity index (SI) 2.4-4.5).

Abstract
Objective: Gambogic acid (GA) has been reported to induce apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell lines. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-cancer activity remain poorly understood. This study was aimed to investigate GA’s effect on human CCA cell lines, KKU-M213 and HuCCA-1, and its associated mechanisms on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methods: Cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis were conducted by MTT and flow cytometry. The effect of GA mediated Wnt/β-catenin and ER stress were determined by luciferase-reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot analysis. Results: GA exhibited potent cytotoxicity in CCA cells which was associated with significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted G1 arrest, and activated caspase 3 mediated-apoptosis. GA attenuated β-catenin transcriptional levels, decreased β-catenin protein, and suppressed the expression of c-Myc, a downstream target gene of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. GA activated genes involved in ER stress mechanism in KKU-M213 and enhanced CCA’s sensitivity to gemcitabine. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that the molecular mechanism underpinning anti-cancer effect of GA is partially mediated through the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and induction of ER stress induced-apoptosis. GA may serve as a promising therapeutic modality for amelioration of gemcitabine-induced toxicity in CCA.

Abstract
Twenty six propargylamine mycophenolate analogues were designed and synthesized from mycophenolic acid 1 employing a key step A3-coupling reaction. Their cytotoxic activity was examined against six cancer cell lines. Compounds 6a, 6j, 6t, 6u, and 6z exhibited selective cytotoxicity towards neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cancer cells and were less toxic to normal cells in comparison to the lead compound, MPA 1 and a standard drug, ellipticine. Molecular docking results suggested that compound 6a is fit well in the key amino acid of three proteins (CDK9, EGFR, and VEGFR-2) as targets in cancer therapy. The propargylamine mycophenolate scaffold might be a valuable starting point for development of new neuroblastoma anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Introduction The in vitro expansion and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM-hMSCs) are considered as potential therapeutic tools for clinical applications in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, invasive sampling and reduction in number and proliferative capacity with age are the major limitations of BM-hMSCs. Recently, human placenta-derived MSCs (PL-hMSCs) obtained by a non-invasive procedure have attracted much interest. Attempts to increase the potential of PL-hMSCs would be an important paradigm in regenerative medicine. Herein, we examined the proliferative and osteogenic effect of andrographolide (AP) on PL-hMSCs. Methods Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from full-term normal human placentas and were characterized before using. Cell cytotoxicity and proliferative effect of AP were examined by MTT and BrdU assay, respectively. The non-toxicity concentrations of AP were further assessed for osteogenic effect determined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression and activity, alizarin red staining, and osteoblast-specific gene expressions. Screening of genes involved in osteogenic differentiation-related pathways modulated by AP was explored by a NanoString nCounter analysis. Results PL-hMSCs generated in this study met the MSC criteria set by the International Society of Cellular Therapy. The non-cytotoxic concentrations of AP on PL-hMSCs are up to 10 μM. The compound increased PL-hMSC proliferation concomitant with increases in Wnt/β-catenin level and activity. It also enhanced osteogenic differentiation in association with osteoblast-specific mRNA expression. Further, AP promoted bone formation and increased bone structural protein level, osteocalcin, in osteoblastic cells. Gene screening analysis showed the upregulation of genes related to Wnt/β-catenin, TGFβ/BMP, SMAD, and FGF signaling pathways. Conclusion We demonstrated, for the first time, the potential role of AP in promoting proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and osteoblast bone formation of PL-hMSCs. This study suggests that AP may be an effective novel agent for the improvement of PL-hMSCs and stem cell-based therapy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Three new diterpenoids, boesenmaxanes A-C (1-3), with an unprecedented core skeleton consisting of an unusual C-C bond between C-12 and an exo-cyclic methylene C-13, were isolated from the rhizome extracts of Boesenbergia maxwellii. The structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction data. Electronic circular dichroism spectra were used to determine the absolute configuration. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects, anti-HIV activity, and antimicrobial activity. Boesenmaxanes A and C (1 and 3) showed significant inhibitory activity in the syncytium reduction assay, with EC50 values of 55.2 and 27.5 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Context: Mitrephora sirikitiae Weeras., Chalermglin & R.M.K. Saunders (Annonaceae) is a plant endemic to Thailand. Its constituents and their biological activities are unknown.Objective: Isolation and identification of the compounds in the leaves and stems of M. sirikitiae and determination of their cytotoxicity.Materials and methods: Methanol extracts of the leaves and stems of M. sirikitiae were separated by chromatography, and spectroscopic methods were used to determine the structures of the components. The cytotoxicity of the extracts and pure compounds was evaluated using the sulforhodamine B assay with several cell lines. The cells were treated with the compounds at concentrations of 0.16-20 µg/mL for 48 or 72 h.Results: The investigation of the extracts of M. sirikitiae leaves and stems resulted in the isolation of a new lignan, mitrephoran, and 15 known compounds. Among these compounds, 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, ciliaric acid, 6-methoxymarcanine A, and stepharanine were isolated from this genus for the first time. The alkaloids liriodenine and oxoputerine exhibited strong cytotoxicity against all tested cells (IC50 values of 6.59-11.02 µM). In contrast, magnone A, 3',4-O-dimethylcedrusin, and 6-methoxymarcanine A inhibited the growth of some of the tested cells (IC50 values of 2.03-19.73 µM). Magnone A and 6-methoxymarcanine A showed low toxicity for Hek 293 cells (IC50 >20 µM).Discussion and conclusions: M. sirikitiae is a source of cytotoxic lignans and alkaloids. Among the cytotoxic compounds, magnone A and 6-methoxymarcanine A are potentially useful lead compounds for the further development of anticancer agents because of their selective inhibitory effects on cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms that underpin the anticancer effects of cleistanthin A (CA) in two CRC cell lines, HCT 116, and SW480. At 48 h, CA exhibited apoptotic cytotoxic effects in both CRC cell lines, concomitant with reduction of an anti-apoptotic protein, survivin. Mechanistically, CA treatment significantly reduced the expression levels of β-catenin and active-β-catenin in a dose-dependent manner in both CRC cell lines. Moreover, CA suppressed the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by decreasing β-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity and expression of β-catenin target genes, AXIN2, CCND1, and survivin. Furthermore, CA also inhibited transcriptional activity in cells overexpressing a constitutively active β-catenin S33Y, indicating a GSK-3β-independent mechanism underlying the observed CA effects on CRC cells. Although cytotoxic activity was not observed with CA treatment at 24 h, cell migration and invasion were significantly reduced. In addition, CA suppressed V-type ATPase activity and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation. Collectively, our study reveals that CA has time-dependent effects on CRC cell phenotypes. First, short-term CA treatment inhibited CRC cell migration and invasion partly through the suppression of V-type ATPase activity. This suppression resulted in reduced FAK activation. Second, longer-term CA treatment decreased cell viability which correlated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling induced transcriptional activity. Altogether, our data suggest that CA has the potential to develop as an effective and novel therapeutic drug for CRC patients.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of a phytoestrogen, (3R)-1,7-diphenyl-(4E,6E)-4,6-heptadien-3-ol (DPHD), from Curcuma comosa Roxb. (Zingiberaceae family) on the adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). DPHD inhibited adipocyte differentiation of hBMSCs by suppressing the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis. DPHD at concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 10 μM significantly decreased triglyceride accumulation in hBMSCs to 7.1 ± 0.2, 6.3 ± 0.4, and 4.9 ± 0.2 mg/dL, respectively, compared to the nontreated control (10.1 ± 0.9 mg/dL) (p < 0.01). Based on gene expression profiling, DPHD increased the expression of several genes involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation in hBMSCs. DPHD also increased the levels of essential signaling proteins which are extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) that link estrogen receptor (ER) signaling to Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In conclusion, DPHD exhibited the anti-adipogenic effect in hBMSCs by suppression of adipogenic markers in hBMSCs through the activation of ER and Wnt/β catenin signaling pathways. This finding suggests the potential role of DPHD in preventing bone marrow adiposity which is one of the major factors that exacerbates osteoporosis in postmenopause.

Abstract
Topoisomerase IIα enzyme (Topo IIα) plays a critical function in DNA replication process and is considered to be a promising target of anti-cancer drugs. In the present study, we reported that the altholactone derivatives modified by adding a halogenated benzoate group showed greater inhibitory activity on Topo IIα enzyme in cell-free system concomitant with cytotoxicity against the CCA cell lines (KKU-M055 and KKU-M213) than those of the parent altholactone. However, the cytotoxic activities of four halogenated benzoate altholactone derivatives including iodo-, fluoro-, chloro-, and bromobenzoate derivatives (compound 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) were of equal potency. The fluorobenzoate derivative (compound 2) was chosen for investigating the underlying mechanism in CCA cells. Compound 2 arrested CCA cell cycle at sub G1 phase and induced apoptotic cell death. It markedly inhibited Topo IIα protein expression in both KKU-M055 and KKU-M213 cells, which was accompanied by DNA double-strand breaks demonstrated by an increase in phosphorylated H2A.X protein. Interestingly, KKU-M055 cells, which express higher Topo IIα mRNA compared to KKU-M213 cells, showed greater sensitivity to the compound, indicating the selectivity of the compound to Topo IIα enzyme. By computational docking analysis, the binding affinity of altholactone (-52.5 kcal/mol) and compound 2 (-56.7 kcal/mol) were similar to that of the Topo II poison salvicine (-53.7 kcal/mol). The aromatic moiety of both altholactones embedded in a hydrophobic pocket of Topo II ATPase domain. In addition, compound 2 induced the formation of linear DNA in Topo II-mediated cleavage assay. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the addition of fluorobenzoyl group to altholactone enhances potency and selectivity to inhibit type IIα topoisomerases. Atholactone and fluorobenzoate derivative act as Topo II cleavage complexes stabilizing compounds or Topo II poisons preferentially through binding at ATPase domain of Topo IIα, leading to DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis induction. Such activity of 3-fluorobenzoate derivative of altholactone should be further explored for the development of an anti-cancer drug for CCA.

Abstract
The chemical study on the heartwoods extract of Ventilago harmandiana (Rhamnaceae) resulted in the isolation of ten previously undescribed pyranonaphthoquinones (ventilanones A-J), an undescribed anthraquinone (ventilanone K), together with eight known anthraquinone derivatives. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of ventilanone A was established from single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of its p-bromobenzenesulfonate ester derivative using Cu Kα radiation. The absolute configurations of the other related compounds were identified by comparison of their ECD data with those of ventilanone A and related known compounds. Cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities of some of the isolated compounds were evaluated. Ventilanone A and ventilanone C exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against P-388 cell line. Ventilanone D exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity while ventilanone A and ventilanone C showed moderate activity.

Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this study was to compare the stability properties of the two years for the quality of Tri-Pha-La Herbal Drink, Thai traditional and Ayurvedic medicine. This study aimed to compare the anticancer and anti-HIV efficacy of the solvent extracts and gallic acid of the three fruits. The research was done between A.D. 2017 to A.D. 2018.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, the cancer cell lines, KB, HT 29, MCF-7, A 549, CL and ASK treated with Triphala fruits extract at concentrations of 4 mg/mL for 72 h except 48 for P-388) . The cytotoxic activity was expressed as 50% effective dose (ED50). In addition, anti-HIV activity of the all Triphala fruits solvent extracts was performed by anti-HIVs-1RT. The tested extracts were prescreened at 200 μg/mL and only those which were very active (≥70% inhibition) at this concentration were further determined for the dose, μM, that inhibited 50% HIV-1 RT activity (IC50). Moreover, anti-syncytium (MC99+1A2) was performed by the Triphala fruits extract. The results were expressed as the concentration that inhibited 50% formazan formation in uninfected cells (IC50). The therapeutic index (TI) was calculated using the equation: TI=IC50/EC50.
Results: The results were compared between years A.D. 2017/2018. Amongst six ethyl acetate and methanol extracts (A.D. 2017) showed less than 20 µg/mL cell viability in P-388 cell lines. However, the four ethyl acetate and methanol extracts (A.D. 2018) were also inhibited P-388 cell species. Furthermore, each gallic acid, isolated from three fruits Triphala (A.D.2017/2018) were also strongly inhibited to P-388 cell species. Anti-HIV-RT activity of the all Triphala fruits solvent extracts (A.D. 2017) except hexane extracts showed very active which is consistent with A.D. 2018.
Conclusion: P. emblica-ethyl acetate extract (A.D. 2018) was the most promising anti-syncytium (MC99+1A2) among evaluated all three fruits Triphala extracts: it afforded the lowest EC ₅₀ 8.85 µM and therapeutic index 2.10. The results evidently showed the capacity of Triphala as potential chemopreventive and anticancer drug and immunity.

Abstract
Three previously undescribed polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivatives named cherrevenol M (1), cherrevenol N (2), and cherrevenone (3), together with nine related known analogues 4-12 were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction partitioned from the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Uvaria cherrevensis (Annonaceae). The determination of the structures and their relative configurations of the isolated compounds were established by spectroscopic techniques, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis as well as comparison with the literature data. For cherrevenone (3), the relative and absolute configurations were also confirmed by using X-ray diffraction and ECD techniques, respectively. Compounds isolated except for compounds 8 and 10 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity and cherrevenone (3) showed moderate cytotoxic activity against all cancerous cell lines except for ASK cell line with ED50 values ranging from 1.04 ± 0.13 to 10.09 ± 4.31 μM.

Abstract
New iridoid glycoside derivatives from durantoside I, the latter from the dried flowers and leaves of Citharexylum spinosum, were synthesized by variously modifying a sugar moiety by silylation or acetylation and/or removal of cinnamate group at C-7 position and subsequent screening for comparative cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. Addition of alkylsilane to durantoside I and removal of cinnamate group were most effective in improving cytotoxicity.

Abstract
A rhodamine-thiourea conjugate RTP with an o-phenylenediamine linker was developed as a fluorogenic chemodosimeter for Hg2+ detection. In the presence of Hg2+, a colorless solution of RTP turned pink with a maximum absorption band at 555nm and with a 62-fold fluorescence enhancement at 578nm (Φ=0.34). RTP is highly selective to Hg2+ among other metal ions with a detection limit of 1.6nM (0.3ppb). A similar rhodamine analog with a flexible ethylenediamine spacer was less selective and less sensitive than RTP. Hg2+ induced cyclic guanylation to yield a benzimidazole moiety and a subsequent ring-opening of the spirolactam unit resulted in chromogenic and fluorogenic changes. The membrane-permeable RTP probe was successfully demonstrated in monitoring of Hg2+ in cultured HeLa cells.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Eastern Asia. Increasing chemoresistance and general systemic
toxicities have complicated the current chemotherapy leading to an urgent need of more effective agents. The present
study reported a potent DNA topoisomerase IIα inhibitory activity of an andrographolide analogue (19-triisopropyl
andrographolide, analogue-6) in gastric cancer cells; MKN-45, and AGS cells. The analogue was potently cytotoxic to
both gastric cancer cell lines with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 values) of 6.3±0.7 μM, and 1.7±0.05
μM at 48 h for MKN-45, and AGS cells, respectively. It was more potent than the parent andrographolide and the
clinically used, etoposide with the IC50 values of >50 μM in MKN-45 and 11.3±2.9 μM in AGS cells for andrographolide
and 28.5±4.4 μM in MKN-45 and 4.08±0.5 μM in AGS cells for etoposide. Analogue-6 at 2 μM significantly inhibited
DNA topoisomerase IIα enzyme in AGS cells, induced DNA damage, activated cleaved PARP-1, and Caspase3 leading
to late cellular apoptosis. Interestingly, the expression of tumor suppressor p53 was not activated. These results show
the importance of 19-triisopropyl-andrographolide in its emerging selectivity to primary target on topoisomerase IIα
enzyme, inducing DNA damage and apoptosis by p53- independent mechanism. Thereby, the results provide insights of
the potential of 19-triisopropyl andrographolide as an anticancer agent for gastric cancer. The chemical transformation
of andrographolide is a promising strategy in drug discovery of a novel class of anticancer drugs from bioactive natural
products.

Abstract
A rhodol cinnamate fluorescent chemosensor (RC) has been developed for selective detection of hydrazine (N2H4). In aqueous medium, the rhodol-based probe exhibited high selectivity for hydrazine among other molecules. The addition of hydrazine triggered a fluorescence emission with 48-fold enhancement based on hydrazinolysis and a subsequent ring-opening process. The chemical probe also displayed a selective colorimetric response toward N2H4 from colorless solution to pink, readily observed by the naked eye. The detection limit of RC for hydrazine was calculated to be 300nM (9.6ppb). RC is membrane permeable and was successfully demonstrated to detect hydrazine in live HepG2 cells by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Diarylheptanoids from Curcuma comosa, of the Zingiberaceae family, exhibit diverse estrogenic activities. In this study we investigated the estrogenic activity of a major hydroxyl diarylheptanoid, 7-(3,4 -dihydroxyphenyl)-5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-(1E)-1-heptene (compound 092) isolated from C. comosa. The compound elicited different transcriptional activities of estrogen agonist at low concentrations (0.1-1 μM) and antagonist at high concentrations (10-50 μM) using luciferase reporter gene assay in HEK-293T cells. In human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, compound 092 showed an anti-estrogenic activity by down-regulating ERα-signaling and suppressing estrogen-responsive genes, whereas it attenuated the uterotrophic effect of estrogen in immature ovariectomized rats. Of note, compound 092 promoted mouse pre-osteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cell differentiation and the related bone markers, indicating its positive osteogenic effect. Our findings highlight a new, nonsteroidal, estrogen agonist/antagonist of catechol diarylheptanoid from C. comosa, which is scientific evidence supporting its potential as a dietary supplement to prevent bone loss with low risk of breast and uterine cancers in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Styryl lactones are plant-derived compounds from genus Goniothalamus with promising anti-proliferation and anticancer properties. However, the exact mechanism and the target for their activities remained unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effect of 5-acetyl goniothalamin (5GTN) from Goniothalamus marcanii on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway which is a key regulator in controlling cell proliferation in breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). 5GTN, a naturally occurring derivative of goniothalamin (GTN) mediated the toxicity to MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose- and time- related manner, and was more potent than that of GTN. 5GTN strongly inhibited cell proliferation and markedly suppressed transcriptional activity induced by β-catenin in luciferase reporter gene assay. In consistent with this view, the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes including c-Myc, cyclin D1 and Axin2 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were suppressed after treatment with 5GTN. It was concomitant with cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In addition, 5GTN enhanced glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) activity and therefore reduced the expression of active form of β-catenin protein in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Taken together, 5GTN exhibited a promising anticancer effect against breast cancer cells through an inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. This pathway may be served as a potential chemotherapeutic target for breast cancer by 5GTN.

Abstract
CONTEXT Curcuma comosa Roxb. (Zingiberaceae) has traditionally been used as an anti-inflammatory agent in liver, and recent study has shown its hepatoprotective effect against CCl4-induced liver injury in vivo. OBJECTIVE This study further assesses the protective effect of C. comosa extracts and its isolated compounds against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced hepatotoxicity in isolated primary rat hepatocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isolated primary hepatocytes were pretreated with either ethanol (5-50 μg/ml) or hexane extract (1-50 μg/ml), or two diarylheptanoids (4-35 μM): compound D-91 [1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-(6E)-6-hepten-3-ol] and compound D-92 [(3S)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-(6E)-6-hepten-3-ol], from C. comosa for 2 h prior to exposure to 1.5 mM t-BHP for 15 and 30 min. Their hepatoprotective activities were then determined. RESULTS t-BHP markedly caused the formation of MDA and ALT leakage from the hepatocytes. Pretreatment with the C. comosa ethanol extract showed greater protective effect than the hexane extract, and the effect was concentration related. Treating the hepatocytes with compound D-92 provided greater protective effect than compound D-91. IC50 values of compounds D-91, D-92, and silymarin for the protection of ALT leakage at 30 min were 32.7 ± 1.1, 9.8 ± 0.7, and 160 ± 8 μM, respectively. Further investigation showed that compound D-92 was more effective in maintaining the intracellular glutathione content in the t-BHP treated group, whereas the reduction in antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase activities, were not improved. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Results suggest that diarylheptanoids are the active principles that provide protection against t-BHP-induced injury. Their ability to maintain intracellular glutathione content is the main mechanisms underlying the protective action.

Abstract
Six new naturally occurring polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivatives together with eight related known derivatives, two known alkaloids, and two known flavonoid derivatives were isolated from bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract of the leaves and twigs of Dasymaschalon sootepense. The structure elucidation and determination of absolute configurations were established by various spectroscopic methods, X-ray diffraction techniques as well as comparison with the literature data. Several isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic, anti-HIV-1 RT and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the hepatotoxicity of zederone isolated from Curcuma elata in mice. Adult male mice were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of zederone (50-300 mg/kg body weight [BW]). Twenty-four hours after the injection, zederone induced liver enlargement with scattered white foci over the organ. The medium lethal dose (LD50) value at 24 hours of zederone was approximately 223 mg/kg BW. Hepatic centrilobular necrosis with marked increases in plasma alanine transaminase activity and total bilirubin levels was observed. Zederone at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW markedly decreased the activity of superoxide dismutase and the hepatic glutathione content, whereas the activity of catalase was not altered. The compound at this dose also increased the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11, which are the main drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. The mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α was increased. The nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 protein, which is the transcription factor regulating the antioxidant gene expression, was decreased. The histopathology of massive hepatic centrilobular necrosis with an increase in the expression of cytochrome P450 (Cyp) suggests that the possible potentiation of zederone-induced hepatotoxicity implicated the induction of Cyps, which leads to the formation of biological reactive metabolites and that cause the oxidative stress and liver cell injuries.

Abstract
A new cholesterol-based cationic lipid was synthesized; liposomes prepared on its basis were evaluated as drug delivery vehicles for curcumin. Free and liposome-encapsulated curcumin cytotoxicity against HeLa, A549, HepG2, K562 and 1301 cell lines was assessed. Liposomal curcumin with ED50 values ranging from 2.5-10 microM exhibited 2-8 times higher cytotoxicity than free curcumin. The synthetic cholesterol-based cationic lipid also enhanced cellular uptake of curcumin into tested cells. Cationic liposome alone showed low cytotoxicity at high doses with ED50 values of 90-210 microM.

Abstract
Estrogen promotes growth in many tissues by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Recently, ASPP 049, a diarylheptanoid isolated from Curcuma comosa Roxb., has been identified as a phytoestrogen. This investigation determined the involvement of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the estrogenic activity of this diarylheptanoid in transfected HEK 293T and in mouse preosteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cells using a TOPflash luciferase assay and immunofluorescence. ASPP 049 rapidly activated T-cell-specific transcription factor/lymphoid enhancer binding factor-mediated transcription activity and induced β-catenin accumulation in the nucleus. Interestingly, the effects of ASPP 049 on the transcriptional activity and induction and accumulation of β-catenin protein in the nucleus of MC3T3-E1 cells were greater compared with estradiol. Activation of β-catenin in MC3T3-E1 cells was inhibited by ICI 182,780, suggesting that an estrogen receptor is required. In addition, ASPP 049 induced phosphorylations at serine 473 of Akt and serine 9 of GSK-3β. Moreover, ASPP 049 also induced proliferation and expressions of Wnt target genes Axin2 and Runx2 in MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, ASPP 049 increased alkaline phosphatase expression, and activity that was abolished by DKK-1, a blocker of the Wnt/β-catenin receptor. Taken together, these results suggest that ASPP 049 from C. comosa induced osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation through ERα-, Akt-, and GSK-3β-dependent activation of β-catenin signaling. Our findings provide a scientific rationale for using C. comosa as a dietary supplement to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Topoisomerase II α enzyme plays a critical role in DNA replication process. It controls the topologic states of DNA during transcription and is essential for cell proliferation. Human DNA topoisomerase II α (hTopo II α) is a promising chemotherapeutic target for anticancer agents against a variety of cancer types. In the present study, andrographolide and its structurally modified analogues were investigated for their inhibitory activities on hTopo II α enzyme. Five out of nine andrographolide analogues potently reduced hTopo II α activity and inhibited cell proliferation in four mammalian cell lines (Hela, CHO, BCA-1 and HepG2 cells). IC50 values for cytotoxicity of analogues 3A.1, 3A.2, 3A.3, 1B and 2C were 4 to 7 μM. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that both core structure of andrographolide and silicon based molecule of functional group were important for the inhibition of hTopo II α activity whereas position C-19 of analogues was required for anti-proliferation. In addition, the analogue 2C at 10 μM concentration inhibited hTopo II α, and induced apoptosis with nuclear fragmentation and formation of apoptotic bodies in HepG2 cells. The analogue 2C may, therefore, have a therapeutic potential as effective anticancer agent targeting the hTopo II α functions.

Abstract
Four new flavones, 5,2'-dihydroxy-7,3',4',5'-tetramethoxyflavone (1), 5,2',5'-trihydroxy-7,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone (2), 5,7,2',5'-tetrahydroxy-6,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone (3) and 5,2',5'-trihydroxy-6,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (4), along with the known 5,3'-dihydroxy-6,7,4',5'-tetramethoxyflavone (5), 5,7,3',5'-tetrahydroxy-6,4'-dimethoxyflavone (6), syringaldehyde, vanillic acid and scopoletin were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Gardenia carinata (Rubiaceae). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Flavone 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against P-388 and MCF-7 cell lines, while 3, 5 and 6 were active only in P-388 cell line. All active compounds were found to inhibit DNA topoisomerase IIα activity, which may be responsible for the observed cytotoxicity. Flavones 1-3, 5 and 6 also exhibited anti-HIV-1 activity in the anti-syncytium assay using (∆Tat/rev)MC99 virus and 1A2 cell line system; 2 was most potent. Only flavones 1 and 6 showed considerably activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
