Phytochemical Name : Triptonide

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-83
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Triptonide
PMID 33510281
Literature evidence These results indicate that triptonide holds promise as a novel anti-tumor agent for TNBC treatment.
IUPAC name (1S,2S,4S,5S,7S,9S,11S,13S)-1-methyl-7-propan-2-yl-3,6,10,16-tetraoxaheptacyclo[11.7.0.02,4.02,9.05,7.09,11.014,18]icos-14(18)-ene-8,17-dione
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Diterpenoid
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Tripterygium wilfordii
Geographical availability China South-Central, China Southeast, Myanmar, Taiwan, Tibet, Vietnam
Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein SNAI1
Gene or Protein evidence We show that triptonide downregulates multiple cancer stem cell-associated genes but upregulates SNAI1 gene expression. In support of SNAI1 induction as a negative feedback response to triptonide treatment, in vitro-derived triptonide-resistant HCC1806 cells display a markedly higher expression of SNAI1 compared with parental cells.
Target pathways JNK signaling
IC50 NA
Potency These results indicate that triptonide holds promise as a novel anti-tumor agent for TNBC treatment
Cell line/ mice model HCC1806, BT-549, MDA-MB-231
Additional information  Our study also reveals a SNAI1-associated feedback mechanism which may lead to acquired resistance to triptonide.
