Mechanistic Pathways and Molecular Targets of Plant-Derived Anticancer ent-Kaurane Diterpenes

Abstract: Since the first discovery in 1961, more than 1300 ent-kaurane diterpenoids have been isolated and identified from different plant sources, mainly the genus Isodon. Chemically, they consist of a perhydrophenanthrene subunit and a cyclopentane ring. A large number of reports describe the anticancer potential and mechanism of action of ent-kaurane compounds in a series of cancer cell lines. Oridonin is one of the prime anticancer ent-kaurane diterpenoids that is currently in a phase-I clinical trial in China. In … Show more

“…Another natural compound that has shown efficacy against NPM1c+ is Oridonin [130]. This is a plant-derived tetracycline diterpenoid that holds anticancer and antiproliferative activities in a number of tumors, inducing apoptosis in cancer cell lines of diverse origin [131]. Oridonin treatments of OCI-AML3 cells dose-dependently inhibited viability and caused NPM1c+ translocation to the nucleus, likely due to CRM1 (Chromosomal Region Maintenance 1) nuclear accumulation, together with unchanged total NPM1 protein levels.…”

“…In this context, it is worthwhile to mention that MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGF and VEGFR have been recently identified as the most common metastatic target proteins of ent-kauranes [ 3 ], although the mechanism of action through which they regulate these protein targets remains largely unknown. However, in many cancer cell lines, the MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression at both transcriptional and translational levels was regulated by PI3-K/AKT signalling pathway [ 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

“…Several plant-derived bioactive compounds have anticancer properties [ 1 , 2 ]. Among them, ent-kaurane diterpenoids have certainly attracted particular attention among investigators because of their biological activity and safety profile [ 3 ]. Those compounds belong to a subclass of tetracyclic diterpenes containing a kaurane scaffold, with configurational inversion at all chiral centres, known as ent-kaurane diterpenes [ 3 ].…”
