Description
Yatein is a lignan that has been found in
C. formosana and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4 (IC
50 = 1 μM). Yatein inhibits herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication in a plaque reduction assay (IC
50 = 30.6 μM). It induces apoptosis and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in, and is cytotoxic to, A549 and CL1-5 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (IC
50s = 3.5 and 1.9 μM, respectively). Yatein inhibits aggregation of rabbit platelets induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF), collagen, or arachidonic acid (Item Nos.

Uses
Yatein is a lignan isolated from A. chilensis, with antiproliferative activity[1]. Yatein suppresses herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1 ) replication by interruption the immediate-early gene expression[2].
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of butan-4-olides carrying 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl and (1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methyl substituents at positions 3 and 4 respectively.
in vivo
Yatein (20 mg/kg; i.p.; five times per week; for 42 days) exhibits in vivo antitumor effects in a human lung adenocarcinoma xenograft mouse model[3].
| Animal Model: | Male NOD/SCID mice (6-8 weeks), with A549 cells xenograft[3] |
| Dosage: | 20 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection, five times per week, for 42 days |
| Result: | Significantly slowed tumor growth and moderately increased both cyclin B1 expression and Cdc2 phosphorylation. |
