3-O-trans-p-Coumaroyltormentic acid, a natural product isolated and purified from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica calli, induces apoptotic cell death in human leukemia (HL60) via mainly mitochondrial pathway by, at least in part, Topo I inhibition, and may be promising lead compound for developing an effective drug for treatment of leukemia.
3-O-trans-p-Coumaroyltormentic acid, a natural product isolated and purified from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica calli, induces apoptotic cell death in human leukemia (HL60) via mainly mitochondrial pathway by, at least in part, Topo I inhibition, and may be promising lead compound for developing an effective drug for treatment of leukemia. 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyltormentic acid shows cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15) in vitro, the IC50 values of 13.72, 14.29,14.61, 14.04 uM, respectively, and is weakly selective for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) compared with eukaryotic cells, with an MIC of 59.4mg/mL and a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 72.0mg/mL for monkey kidney epithelial (MA104) cells. It also shows an inhibitory effect comparable to (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) of green tea on the activation of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) induced by 12-O-tetradeca--noylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
