The invention provides an
inula wissmannian extract and preparation thereof and application in preparation of an antitumor
drug. The extract is gemma
alkane type
sesquiterpene lactone inula wissmannian
lactone methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and amyl or sheepear
inula herb lactone. The extract has the following chemical
structural formula and
absolute configuration that: due to the
toxicity killing function experiment of inula wissmannian lactone methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and amyl or sheepear inula
herb lactone on human hepatoma cells HepG2, human prostatic
cancer cells PC-3,
human gastric carcinoma cells MGC-803,
human leukemia cells K562, human nasopharynx
cancer cells KB and normal human hepatocytes LO2, the result shows that the gemma
alkane type
sesquiterpene lactone has strong tumor
cell killing function, and proliferation of
tumor cells can be inhibited, so that the
tumor cells are killed. The animal in-vivo experiment proves that the inula wissmannian
plant extract and monomeric compounds have the anti-tumor effect and can serve as active ingredients for preparing the antitumor
drug. A novel
cancer treatment
medicine is provided clinically, and high clinical application values and
social benefits are generated.
