Involvement of intrinsic mitochondrial pathway in neosergeolide-induced apoptos...
Coelho Cavalcanti, Bruno; Costa, Patrícia Marçal da; Carvalho, Adriana Andrade Carvalho; Rodrigues, Francisco Augusto Rocha Santos; Amorim, Rodrigo C.N.Context: Quassinoids are biologically active secondary metabolites found exclusively in the Simaroubaceae family of plants. These compounds generally present important biological properties, including cytotoxic and antitumor properties. Objective: In the present study, the cytotoxic effects of neosergeolide, a quassinoid isolated from Picrolemma sprucei Hook. f., were evaluated in human promyelocytic leukemia c...
Biological activity of neosergeolide and isobrucein B (and two semi-synthetic d...
Silva, Ellen Cristina Costa; Coelho Cavalcanti, Bruno; Amorim, Rodrigo C.N.; Lucena, Jorcilene F.; Quadros, Dulcimar S.; Tadei, Wanderli PedroIn the present study, in vitro techniques were used to investigate a range of biological activities of known natural quassinoids isobrucein B (1) and neosergeolide (2), known semi-synthetic derivative 1,12-diacetylisobrucein B (3), and a new semi-synthetic derivative, 12-acetylneosergeolide (4). These compounds were evaluated for general toxicity toward the brine shrimp species Artemia franciscana, cytotoxicity...
