Three labdane diterpenoids, 14α-hydroxy-15-chlorosclareol (1), 14α-hydroxy-15-acetoxysclareol (2), and 6β-hydroxy-14α-epoxysclareol (3), together with the known diterpenoids sclareol (4), 6β-hydroxysclareol (5), and 14α-epoxysclareol (6), as well as other common plant constituents were isolated from the n-hexane extract of aerial parts of Salvia reuterana. The structures of the new compounds were established by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. Compound 1 is the first example of a halogenated terpenoid in the genus Salvia. Compounds 1-6 were also tested for their inhibitory activity toward HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines. Preliminary structure-activity relationship studies indicated that double bond moiety in sclareol is an essential feature for activity and modification of this moiety significantly decreased the cytotoxic activity of the resulting compounds.

RBM family proteins plays the critical role in the progression of numerous tumors. However, whether RBM family proteins involved in prostate cancer (PCa) progression is remain elucidated. In our study, an RNAi screen containing shRNA library targeting 54 members of the RBM family was applied to identify the critical RBM proteins involved in prostate cancer progression under docetaxel treatment, and RBM19 was selected.

Ovarian cancer is known to be a challenging disease to detect at an early stage and is a major cause of death among women. The current treatment for ovarian cancer typically involves a combination of surgery and the use of drugs such as platinum-based cytotoxic agents, anti-angiogenic drugs, etc. However, current treatment methods are not always effective in preventing the recurrence of ovarian cancer.

Background/aim: Treatment with retinoic acid (RA) often promotes neuroblastoma differentiation and growth inhibition, including the suppression of the expression of the MYCN oncogene. However, RA also targets protumoral chemokines, such as CCL2, which may contribute to the development of resistance. The present study aimed to investigate the regulation and function of CCL2 and N-Myc in RA-treated neuroblastoma cells.
