Lycorine Suppresses Non‐Small‐Cell Lung Cancer Progression Through Activating STING Pathway and Stimulating an Antitumor Immune Response

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Notably, LYD also exhibited antitumor activity in LLC mice and induced an antitumor immune response. It has been demonstrated that Lycorine (LYD), a naturally occurring active sesquiterpene present in Chinese medicinal plants, exhibits anti-cancer properties across various cancer cell lines.

Could natural terpenes be an alternative for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases?

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Terpenes are compounds that inhibit the growth of Leishmania spp, Schistosoma spp, and Echinococcus spp, cause changes in parasite ultrastructure, inhibit enzyme activity, and modulate the immune response. Their use in combination therapy decreases the concentration of the reference drug used.
