Stemona alkaloids, from traditional Thai medicine, increase chemosensitivity via P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance

P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux can cause a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype that is associated with a poor response to cancer chemotherapy. Through bioassay-guided fractionation, active Stemona alkaloids were isolated from the roots of Stemona aphylla and S. burkillii. The chemical structur...

Through bioassay-guided fractionation, active Stemona alkaloids were isolated from the roots of Stemona aphylla and S. burkillii.

The isolated alkaloids were evaluated for synergistic growth inhibitory effect with cancer chemotherapeutic agents including vinblastine, paclitaxel and doxorubicin of KB-V1 cells (MDR human cervical carcinoma with P-gp expression), but not in KB-3-1 cells (drug sensitive human cervical carcinoma, which lack P-gp expression).
