Article Abstract
The genus comprises thirteen accepted species of perennial shrubs in the family Fabaceae. In Galicia (Spain) many of these are considered spontaneous colonizing species, which are easy to establish and maintain. Among them, Planch. is used in traditional medicine for the same anti-infective, hypotensive and diuretic purposes as L., which is the most studied species. Likewise, some studies have described the antitumoral properties of several species. However, there are few scientific studies that justify the use of Planch. and nothing has been reported about its composition to date. In our study, the entire plant was extracted with methanol and the crude extract was subjected to liquid phase extraction with distinct solvents, yielding three fractions: hexane (H), dichloromethane (D) and methanol (M), which were subsequently fractionated. The dichloromethane (D5, D7 and D8) and methanol (M4) sub-fractions showed antiproliferative activity on A549 (lung cancer) and AGS (stomach cancer) cell lines, and caspase 3/7 activity assessment and DNA quantification were also performed. Targeted analysis via UHPLC-QToF, in combination with untargeted analysis via MS-Dial, MS-Finder and Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS), allowed us to tentatively identify different metabolites in these sub-fractions, mostly flavonoids, that might be involved in their antiproliferative activity.

Current treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) suffer intolerable adverse effects. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the possible protective effects of alantolactone (ALA) in testosterone (TEST)-induced BPH in rats. Wistar rats were grouped into 5 batches namely; Control, ALA (10 mg/kg), TEST, TEST + ALA (5 mg/kg) and TEST + ALA (10 mg/kg).

Two series of triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized as antiproliferative agents targeting multi kinase inhibition aiming to increase potency and combat drug resistance. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activity. The triazolopyrimidine derivatives 9b, 9c, 12b and 12c showed promising anticancer activities, in particular, compounds 12b and 12c displayed broad spectrum antiproliferative potential against NCI cancer cell lines with GI mean value of 10.

Background: This study seeks to provide preclinical evidence demonstrating the potential of Antrocinol, a derivative of antrocin derived from the active compound of Antrodia cinnamomea, as a promising small-molecule drug candidate for overcoming drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We developed Lenvatinib-resistant Huh-7 and HepG cell lines (Huh-7/LR, HepG2/LR) to evaluate their viability and apoptotic response to Antrocinol. Autophagy-dependent cell death was assessed in Huh-7/LR cells using Z-VAD-FMK and shATG5 transfection.
Exploring the Antiproliferative Activity of Flavolignans From the Leaves of Casearia arborea (Salicaceae).

The Casearia genus (Salicaceae) is well known as a source of natural antitumor prototypes, as described for clerodane diterpenes. In this way, the dichloromethane phase from leaves of Casearia arborea was phytochemically evaluated in liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry, furnishing flavonoid, flavolignan, and phenylpropanoid derivatives, and apocarotenoid terpenoids according to Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) dereplication. The flavolignans were chemically monitored by liquid chromatography using a UV-Vis detector and purified by a semi-preparative liquid chromatographic system, furnishing tricin, tricin-4″-O-(threo-guaiacylglyceryl) ether (salcolin A), and tricin-4″-O-(erythro-guaiacylglyceryl) ether (salcolin B).
