Reevesioside A, a cardenolide glycoside, induces anticancer activity against human hormone-refractory prostate cancers through suppression of c-myc expression and induction of G1 arrest of the cell cycle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
In the past decade, there has been a profound increase in the number of studies revealing that cardenolide glycosides display inhibitory activity on the growth of human cancer cells.

Relative Selectivity of Plant Cardenolides for Na+/K+-ATPases From the Monarch Butterfly and Non-resistant Insects

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
A major prediction of coevolutionary theory is that plants may target particular herbivores with secondary compounds that are selectively defensive.

Unraveling the roles of genotype and environment in the expression of plant defense phenotypes

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Phenotypic variability results from interactions between genotype and environment and is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary interactions. Measuring the relative contributions of genetic variation, the environment, and their interaction to ...

Two New Cyototoxic Cardenolides from the Whole Plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito

Molecules, 2015
A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito. resulted in the isolation and identification of two new cardenolides—adonioside A (1) and adonioside B (6)—as well as four known cardenolides: tupichinolide (

High-resolution tandem mass spectrometry dataset reveals fragmentation patterns of cardiac glycosides in leaves of the foxglove plants

Data in Brief, 2020
Cardiac glycosides, steroid derivatives extracted from the foxglove plants, have been used for the treatment of heart failure since the 18th century. A method based on liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS2 ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter above- and below-ground chemical defense expression differentially among Asclepias species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Belowground symbionts of plants can have substantial influence on plant growth and nutrition. Recent work demonstrates that mycorrhizal fungi can affect plant resistance to herbivory and the performance of above and belowground herbivores. Although these

A Novel Cardenolide Glycoside Isolated from Xysmalobium undulatum Reduces Levels of the Alzheimer’s Disease-Associated β-Amyloid Peptides Aβ42 In Vitro

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Elevated levels of the amylo β-proteins (Aβ), particularly Aβ42, are associated with a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The Aβ proteins are produced from cellular processing of the amyloid precursor proteins (APPs).
