          Abstract

          Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels & Gilg (TDG), the family member of Vitaceae, is a traditional herbal medicine in China. The root of TDG can be immediately used after cleaning the muddy soil, and can be dehydrated for dry use. TDG is able to be collected all year round, which is commonly used in the treatment of hepatitis, infantile high fever, snake bite, etc. Based on phytochemistry, the chemical components of TDG are divided into flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, steroids, polysaccharide, and other compounds, showing many pharmacological effects which include anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and immunomodulatory activity, as well as other activities. Currently, TDG involves some problems of the reduction of wild resources, the backward processing methods, and storage difficulties as well as the imperfection of detection methods. Therefore, this review summarizes the literature of the past 20 years, and the purpose of this review is to summarize the recent researches on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, quality control, and clinical application of TDG. The above discussions provide new insights for the future research on TDG.

            Isoxazoline containing natural products as anticancer agents: a review.

            Isoxazolines are an important class of nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocycles that belong to the azoles family which have gained much importance in the field of medicinal chemistry as the anticancer agents. Moreover, natural products are always expectedly regarded as an important hoard of a large number of potential chemotherapeutic candidates. Therefore, this review mainly focuses on the existence of isoxazoline derivatives in natural sources, their isolation and uses there of as anticancer agents besides highlighting the synthetic pathways to achieve these compounds. Structural-activity relationship and the influence of stereochemical aspects on anticancer activity of such compounds have also been discussed. It covers the literature upto 2014 and would certainly provide a great insight to scientific community to accelerate further research for the development of some novel anticancer drugs.
