Cephalotaxus, commonly called plum yew or cowtail pine, is a genus of conifers comprising 11 species, treated in either the Cephalotaxaceae, or in the Taxaceae when that family is considered in a broad sense. The genus is endemic to eastern Asia, though fossil evidence shows it had a wider Northern Hemisphere distribution in the past. The species are evergreen shrubs and small trees reaching 1.0–10 m (rarely to 20 m) tall.
Composition for preventing or treating lung cancer, comprising a compound isolated from Cephalotaxus extract as an active ingredient
The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing or treating lung cancer, comprising a compound isolated from a Cephalotaxus extract as an active ingredient. Isoharringtonine, which is the compound isolated from the Cephalotaxus extract according to the present disclosure, induces apoptosis and exhibits the effect of inhibiting the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines, and thus can be useful in the prevention or treatment of lung cancer.In addition, the combined treatment of isoharringtonine and siNR4A1 enhances anticancer activity, and the combined treatment of isoharringtonine and cisplatin, which is a conventional anticancer drug, induces a high anticancer effect at a low concentration of cisplatin, thereby reducing side effects of anticancer treatment.
