General description

Ferutinin, a daucane phytoestrogen, is found in the Ferula genus. It is a natural terpenoid and a calcium ionophore.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ferutinin can suppress tumor development without causing systemic toxicity in various tumor cells and animal cancer models. It possesses estrogenic properties and a protective role against uterine carcinoma. Ferutinin exhibits anti-cancer action in estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells.
Ferutinin is a strong agonist for estrogen receptor (ER)α and agonist/antagonist for Erβ with IC50 values of 33.1 nM for ERα and 180.5 nM for Erβ. It has been shown to have both ionophoretic and apoptotic properties. It increases calcium permeability in the lipid bilayer and has been shown to improve bone regeneration in a rat study. It caused significant regression in tumor size in a mouse colon cancer model.

The influence of the natural terpenoid ferutinin (4-oxy-6-(4-oxybenzoyloxy) dauc-8,9-en), isolated from the plant Ferula tenuisecta, on ion permeability of biological and artificial membranes was investigated. It was shown that ferutinin, in the concentration range 1-50 microM, increases the permeability of

Estrogen is considered a risk factor for breast cancer since it promotes breast-cell proliferation. The jaesckeanadiol-3-p-hydroxyphenylpropanoate, a hemi-synthetic analogue of the natural phytoestrogen ferutinin (jaesckeanadiol-p-hydroxybenzoate), is designed to be devoid of estrogenic activity. This analogue induces a cytotoxic effect 30
