J Nat Prod. 2013 Feb 22;76(2):223-9. | Sesquiterpenes from the rhizomes of Curcuma heyneana.[Pubmed: 23387824] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
Four new germacranes [heyneanones A-D (1-4)], three new guaianes [4,10-epizedoarondiol (5), 15-hydroxyProcurcumenol (6), 12-hydroxycurcumenol (7)], and two new spirolactones [curcumanolides C (8) and D (9)] were isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma heyneana together with 13 known sesquiterpenes and two known labdane-type diterpenes.
CONCLUSIONS:
Among the isolated compounds, heyneanone A (1), heyneanone C (3), 4,10-epizedoarondiol (5), Procurcumenol (16), aerugidiol (17), zerumin A (23), and (E)-15,16-bisnorlabda-8(17),11-dien-13-one (24) inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) with IC(50) values of 42.5, 35.2, 35.1, 45.6, 35.7, 10.4, and 14.7 μM, respectively. | ScientificWorldJournal. 2014;2014:321943. | Cytotoxic constituents from the rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria.[Pubmed: 25126594] | Curcuma zedoaria also known as Temu putih is traditionally used in food preparations and treatment of various ailments including cancer.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The cytotoxic activity of hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and the methanol-soxhlet extracts of Curcuma zedoaria rhizomes was tested on two human cancer cell lines (Ca Ski and MCF-7) and a noncancer cell line (HUVEC) using MTT assay.
Investigation on the chemical components in the hexane and dichloromethane fractions gave 19 compounds, namely, labda-8(17),12 diene-15,16 dial (1), dehydrocurdione (2), curcumenone (3), comosone II (4), curcumenol (5), Procurcumenol (6), germacrone (7), zerumbone epoxide (8), zederone (9), 9-isopropylidene-2,6-dimethyl-11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.0(1,5)]undec-6-en-8-ol (10), furanodiene (11), germacrone-4,5-epoxide (12), calcaratarin A (13), isoProcurcumenol (14), germacrone-1,10-epoxide (15), zerumin A (16), curcumanolide A (17), curcuzedoalide (18), and gweicurculactone (19). Compounds (1-19) were evaluated for their antiproliferative effect using MTT assay against four cancer cell lines (Ca Ski, MCF-7, PC-3, and HT-29). |
