Research Abstract |
Lissoclibadins, anticancer alkaloids isolated from an Indonesian colonial ascidian, induced an apoptosis(programmed cell death) to cancer cells by increasing the activity of caspases, important proteins for the induction of an apoptosis. Two alkaloids were isolated from a sponge collected in Iriomote Is., Okinawa as cytotoxic components, which induced an apoptosis to cancer cells. DDMG-1, an alkaloid isolated from an Indonesian solitary ascidian, decreased the production of TNF-α, an inflammatory cytokine that over produced in rheumatism and cancer, and the molecular mechanism of action was elucidated. Three components, which inhibited the production of TNF-α, were isolated from an Indonesian soft coral.
