Novel plant triterpenoid drug amooranin overcomes multidrug resistance in human leukemia and colon carcinoma cell lines
15 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Amooranin (AMR), a plant terpenoid, isolated from Amoora rohituka, was investigated for its ability to overcome multidrug resistance in human leukemia and colon carcinoma cell lines. AMR IC(50) values of multidrug-resistant leukemia (CEM/VLB) and colon carcinoma (SW620/Ad-300) cell lines were higher (1.9- and 6-fold) than parental sensitive cell lines (CEM and SW620). AMR induced G(2)+M phase-arrest during cell...
