Based on the Wnt inhibitors as potential targets in the development of anticancer agents, natural compounds were evaluated for β-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity. A natural lignan hydnocarpin isolated from Lonicera japonica was considered a potential inhibitor for Wnt/β-catenin signalings. The anti-proliferative activity of hydnocarpin was also found to be associated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin-mediated signaling pathway in human colon cancer cells. These data suggest that hydnocarpin might be a novel Wnt inhibitor and has a potential of signaling regulator in β-catenin-mediated signaling pathways.
基于 Wnt 抑制剂作为抗癌药物开发的潜在靶点,评估了天然化合物对β-连环蛋白介导的转录活性的影响。从忍冬属植物中分离得到的天然木脂素氢化卡品被认为是 Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路的潜在抑制剂。氢化卡品的抗增殖活性也与抑制人结肠癌细胞中的 Wnt/β-连环蛋白介导的信号通路有关。这些数据表明,氢化卡品可能是一种新型的 Wnt 抑制剂,并且在β-连环蛋白介导的信号通路中具有作为信号调节剂的潜力。
