TL;DR: In this article, 10 phenolic compounds were isolated from a butanol fraction of sage extracts and their structures were determined by spectral methods (NMR, MS, IR). Among them, a novel compound, 4-hydroxyacetophenone-4-O-β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-O- β-dglucopyranoside, was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory activity of boswellic acids from Boswellia serrata against human leukemia HL-60 cells in culture
TL;DR: Four major triterpene acids, isolated from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata, inhibited the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein in human leukemia HL-60 cells in a dose dependent manner and the effect of 4 on DNA synthesis was found to be irreversible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-tumor activity of the crude saponins obtained from asparagus
TL;DR: The crude saponins from the shoots of asparagus were found to have antitumor activity and the inhibitory effect of ACS on DNA synthesis was irreversible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on human leukemia HL-60 cells.
TL;DR: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester was synthesized from caffeic acid and phenethyl alcohol at room temperature with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide as a condensing reagent and found to arrest the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These two oligofurostanosides have been shown to inhibit the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells in culture and macromolecular synthesis in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis was found to be irreversible.
