INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF STEROIDAL SAPONINS ON 12-O-TETRADECANOYLPHORBOL-13-ACETATE (TPA)-ENHANCED P-32 INCORPORATION INTO PHOSPHOLIPIDS OF HELA-CELLS AND PROLIFERATION OF HUMAN-MALIGNANT TUMOR-CELLS
Y. Mimaki et al., INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF STEROIDAL SAPONINS ON 12-O-TETRADECANOYLPHORBOL-13-ACETATE (TPA)-ENHANCED P-32 INCORPORATION INTO PHOSPHOLIPIDS OF HELA-CELLS AND PROLIFERATION OF HUMAN-MALIGNANT TUMOR-CELLS, Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin, 18(3), 1995, pp. 467-469
Certain Lilium plants contain (25S)-spirost-5-ene-3 beta,27-diol glyco
sides embracing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid at the C-27 hydroxy po
sition. One of their derivatives, methyl ester of O-[(S)-3-hydroxy-3-m
ethylglutaryl]-spirost-5-ene-3 beta,27-diol -D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)]
-beta-D-glucopyranoside} was found to inhibit 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbo
l-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated P-32-incorporation into the phospholipid
s of human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and also to inhibit the prolif
eration of various kinds of human malignant tumor cells, pancreatic ca
ncer (PANC-1), osteosarcoma (OST), human gastric cancer (HGC-27), pheo
chromocytoma (PC-12) and HeLa cells, in vitro.
