摘要
The root of Sophora flavescens has been reported to possess antitumor activity in Sarcoma 180, lymphoid leukemia 1210 and melanotic melanoma, We have isolated four cytotoxic flavonoids with a lavan-dulyl side-chain at C8 and tested for their effects on human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells and human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells, in terms of inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis, They showed potent antiproliferative effects with IC50 values from 11.3 mu M to 18.5 mu M in HL60 cells and from 13.3 mu M to 36.2 mu M in HepG2 cells, Treatment of HL-60 cells with the lavandulyflavonoids induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, Apoptosis was judged by the detection of DNA fragmentation by agarose gel electrophoresis and the degree of apoptosis was quantified by a sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The hydration of C4 "'C5 "' double bond with or without C3 hydroxylation caused a complete loss of cytotoxicity. These results suggest that the lavanduyl side-chain is essential for the activity of the flavonoids isolated from S. flavescens which may be used as cancer chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agents.
