Ursolic acid (1), a natural pentacyclic triterpenic acid, afforded a variety of ring-C transformed products (5–11) when treated with N-bromosuccinimide under the influence of a range of protective groups and solvents. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for cytotoxic activity against prostate PC 3, leukemia THP 1, cervical Hela and lung A-549 cancer cell lines. Among the tested analogs, compounds 5, 8, 9 and 10 showed potent activity against PC 3, THP 1 and Hela cell lines. Especially, compound 10 showed enhanced activity against the Hela cell line than the parent compound. Compounds 5, 8 and 9 showed comparable activities against PC 3 and THP 1 cell lines.

EucalyptusL. is traditionally used for many medicinal purposes. In particular, someEucalyptusspecies have currently shown cytotoxic properties. Local Brazilian communities have used leaves ofE. benthamiias a herbal remedy for various diseases, including cancer. Considering the lack of available data for supporting this cytotoxic effect, the goal of this paper was to study thein vitrocytotoxic potential of the essential oils from young and adult leaves ofE. benthamiiand some related terpenes (α-pinene, terpinen-4-ol, andγ-terpinene) on Jurkat, J774A.1 and HeLa cells lines. Regarding the cytotoxic activity based on MTT assay, the essential oils showed improved results thanα-pinene andγ-terpinene, particularly for Jurkat and HeLa cell lines. Terpinen-4-ol revealed a cytotoxic effect against Jurkat cells similar to that observed for volatile oils. The results of LDH activity indicated that cytotoxic activity of samples against Jurkat cells probably involved cell death by apoptosis. The decrease of cell DNA content was demonstrated due to inhibition of Jurkat cells proliferation by samples as a result of cytotoxicity. In general, the essential oils from young and adult leaves ofE. benthamiipresented cytotoxicity against the investigated tumor cell lines which confirms their antitumor potential.

<p><em>Helicteres hirsuta</em> plant is a member of <em>Helicteres </em>genus<em> </em>of the plant family Sterculiaceae and widely found in countries of South Asia such as Vietnam, Lao, Thailand etc. In recent years, it is known as a new folk medicine protecting and securing people against human lung carcinoma, hormone - dependent human prostate carcinoma and human liver. In this paper, from aerial parts of <em>Helicteres hirsuta</em> plant, collected in Binhphuoc province (October, 2016) three pure compounds <strong>1</strong>-<strong>3</strong> were isolated and structurally elucidated, such as <em>b</em>-stigmasterol (<strong>1</strong>), protosta-17(20), 24-dien-3<em>b</em>-ol (<strong>2</strong>) and icosanoic acid (<strong>3</strong>). Among them, compound <strong>2</strong> has a remarkable cytotoxic activity against SK-LU-1, Hep-G2, and Hela cell lines with IC<sub>50</sub> values from 32.86 to 77.31 mg/mL, meanwhile compound <strong>3</strong> shows a moderable cytotoxic activity against SK-Mel-2, AGS, SK-LU-1, Hep-G2, and Hela cell lines with IC<sub>50</sub> values from 59.02 to 80.87 mg/mL.  </p>

A series of diethylamine Mannich base of asymmetrical mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (AMACs) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against Hela Cell lines. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectral data. Preliminary cytotoxic test using BSLT showed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited more potent cytotoxic activity than that of curcumin. While results of MTT assay showed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity against HeLa cell lines than that of cisplatin. Compound 2b exhibited as the most potent compound of the series. Compound 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2f had IC50 (&micro;M) less than that of compound 1a, 1b, 1c and 1f indicating that the addition of diethylamine Mannich base improves the antiproliferative activity of the parent compound.

Medicinal plants maintain the health and vitality of individuals, and also have potential curative effect on various diseases, including cancer. In this study were investigated the antiproliferative effects of water extracts of previously obtained ethanolic dry extracts of three different medicinal plants (Echinacea angustifolia, Salvia officinalis and Melissa officinalis) on cell lines derived from human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa cells). The best cytotoxic activity (IC50 = 43.52 ?g/ml) on HeLa cell lines was exhibited by Echinacea angustifolia. The extract of Salvia officinalis also showed a good cytotoxic activity against HeLa cell lines; the IC50 value was 70.41 ?g/ml. Melissa officinalis manifested a slightly weaker cytotoxic activity and an IC50 value of 122.22 ?g/ml.

From the chemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the roots of the Thai dipterocarp, Dipterocarpus tuberculatus, two new oligostilbene glycosides, dipterostilbenes A (1) and B (2), were isolated together with four known stilbenes. Their structures and relative configurations were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. From an evaluation of cytotoxic activity against KB and HeLa cell lines, α-viniferin (5) and (-)-hopeaphenol (6) showed potent activity, but less than that of doxorubicin.

Assay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of nine β-dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpenoids from the fruits of Celastrus orbiculatus. All isolated β-dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpenoids were tested for their cytotoxic activity against human melanoma A375-S2 and human cervical carcinoma Hela cell lines. Among them, compounds 1-5 and 7 showed cytotoxic activity. Compound 3 exhibited promising cytotoxicity against both human melanoma A375- S2 and human cervical carcinoma Hela cell lines. The structure-activity relationship was discussed briefly.
