Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We compared the cytotoxic activities of dietary epoxylignans and their stereoisomers and found (−)-verrucosin, which is (7S,7′R,8R,8′R)-7,7′-epoxylignan, to be the most cytotoxic epoxylignan against HeLa cells (IC 50  = 6.6 μM). On the other hand, the activity was about a factor of 10 less against HL-60. In this research on the relationship between the structure and cytotoxic activity of (−)-verrucosin 13, the 7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7′-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) derivative 60, for which the activity (IC 50  = 2.4 μM) is three times greater than (−)-verrucosin 13, was discovered. The induction of apoptosis by caspase 3/7 was observed upon treatment with the (−)-verrucosin derivative. 3′,4,4′-Trimethoxy-7,7′-epoxylignan showed highest IC 50 value (2.4 μM) in this structure-cytotoxic activity relationship experiment of 7,7′-epoxylignan. The IC 50 value of natural (−)-verrucosin was 6.6 μM.
