摘要: In this study, we examined the cytotoxic effects of seven ent-labdane derivatives 1-7 (0-100 μM) in different human cancer cell lines. Our results showed that compounds 1-3 exhibited significant dose-dependent inhibition on growth three lines, according to sulphorhodamine B assay and produced morphological changes consistent with apoptosis, as confirmed by Hoestch 3342 staining analysis. They induced apoptosis various shown nuclear condensation fragmentation caspase 3 activation. Such induction was associated depletion mitochondrial membrane potential. These activities led cleavage caspases trigger death process. Overall, potent proapoptotic two suggesting deserve more extensive investigation their potential medicinal applications.
