(L.) Pruski (Asteraceae) Methanol Extract Induces Apoptosis in Leukemia Cells through Suppression of BCR/ABL.

We will study the effects of the methanol extract of (L.) Pruski (Asteraceae) (MeST) on the growth of leukemia cells that may contain the gene. This study also clarifies the mechanism of this effect on these cells.

Pipercyclobutanamide D, a new member of the cyclobutanamide-type alkaloid, from the roots of .

From the EtOH-soluble extract of the roots of , one new dimeric alkamide, pipercyclobutanamide D () was isolated. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of NMR spectroscopic interpretation. The relative configuration of was determined based on the NOESY analysis.
