To search for possible antitumor promoters, we carried out a primary screening of 20 xanthones isolated from plants of the Guttiferae family, using their possible inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells. Some of these xanthones, namely 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone (8), dulxanthone-B (10) and latisxanthone-C (15), were observed to significantly inhibit the EBV-EA activation. The investigation indicated that 8, 10 and 15 might be valuable antitumor promoters.
为了寻找可能的抗肿瘤促进剂,我们对从藤黄科植物中分离出的20种氧杂蒽酮进行了初步筛选,利用它们对12-O-十四烷酰佛波醇-13-乙酸酯(TPA)诱导的Raji细胞中爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒早期抗原(EBV-EA)激活的可能抑制作用。观察到其中一些氧杂蒽酮,即1,3,7-三羟基-2-(3-甲基-2-丁烯基)氧杂蒽酮(8)、双氢氧杂蒽酮-B(10)和拉替氧杂蒽酮-C(15),能显著抑制EBV-EA的激活。研究表明,8、10和15可能是有价值的抗肿瘤促进剂。
