A new 1,2-diketone physalin, physalin XII (1), and 13 known compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of Physalis minima whole plant collected in Thailand. Among them, five physalins (2-6) had tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-resistance overcoming activity, and physalin F (3) was the most active with an IC value of 0.39 µM against human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS in the presence of TRAIL (100 ng/mL). An investigation of the TRAIL-resistance overcoming activity of physalins using western blot analysis showed that 3 promoted TRAIL-induced apoptosis by suppressing anti-apoptotic proteins c-FLIP and Bcl-2.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising chemotherapeutic agent because of its selective apoptotic action on cancer cells. However, resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis remains a challenge in many cancers. The gintonin-enriched extract fraction (GEF) has diverse pharmacological benefits.

TRAIL (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) is an attractive agent being considered a potential cancer treatment. It attaches to its death receptors, leading many cancer cells to apoptosis. However, some malignancies indicate substantial resistance to TRAIL, challenging anticancer scientists.

Death receptor-mediated extrinsic apoptosis system had been developed as a promising therapeutic strategy in clinical oncology, such as TRAIL therapy. However, multiple studies have demonstrated that TRAIL resistance is the biggest problem for disappointing clinical trials despite preclinical success. Targeting cellular FLICE inhibitory protein (cFLIP) is one strategy of combinatorial therapies to overcome resistance to DR-mediated apoptosis due to its negative regulator of extrinsic apoptosis.

Background: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an apoptosis inducer that exhibits an ideal therapeutic safety profile with less adverse effects than conventional chemotherapy. However, the occurrence of TRAIL resistance has been reported in various cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Substantial efforts have been channelled towards managing TRAIL resistance including identifying molecular targets.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), also known as APO2L, has emerged as a highly potential anticancer agent because of its capacity to effectively trigger apoptosis in tumor cells by specifically binding to either of its death receptors (DR4 or DR5) while having no adverse effects on normal cells. Nevertheless, its practical use has been hindered by its inefficient pharmacokinetics characteristics, the challenges involved in its administration and delivery to targeted cells, and the resistance exhibited by most cancer cells towards TRAIL. Gene therapy, as a promising approach would be able to potentially circumvent TRAIL-based cancer therapy challenges mainly through localized TRAIL expression and generating a bystander impact.
