摘要
Two neolignans, 4-methoxymagndialdehyde (1) and magnaldehyde B (2), were isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia officinalis (Magnoliaceae), evaluated for apoptosis-inducing effects in human cervical epitheloid carcinoma HeLa cells. The apoptosis-inducing activity of compounds 1 and 2 were assessed by DNA content using flow cytometric analysis. In the immunoblotting analysis, the treatment with 1 and 2 resulted in the cleavage of procaspase-8 and -3 and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase into active forms. In addition, in vivo, the administration of 2 to Lewis lung carcinoma-inoculated mice evidenced a significant inhibition of tumor growth (volume) with reduction of 28.7% at concentration of 20 mg/kg, as compared with the control mice. These findings suggest that 2 can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, and might be an anti-tumoric agent.
