Estrogenic and anti-estrogenic compounds from Thai medicinal plant, Cleome gynandra
An edible Thai plant, Cleome gynandra L. (Capparaceae) was investigated for its estrogenic and antiestrogenic compounds as it has been traditionally used for improvement of menstrual dysfunctions in Thailand. The dried aerial parts of C. gynandra (1.7kg) were extracted with methanol. The extract (150g) was applied for bioassay-guided isolation by using estrogen-responsive cancer cells MCF-7 and T47D. From the extract, novel dammarane triterpenes (1–5) were isolated with some known compounds. Their structural characterization will be presented with their estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities.
