Oridonin has potent anti-tumor activity. Oridonin targets AE (AML1-ETO) oncoprotein. Exposure to oridonin induces apoptosis in AE-bearing leukemic cells through the activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathway and triggering a caspase-3-mediated degradation of AE at D188. The compound also prolonged the lifespan of C57 mice bearing truncated AE-expressing leukemic cells without side effects like suppression of bone marrow or reduction of body weight of animals, and exerted synergic effects while combined with cytosine arabinoside. Additionally, oridonin inhibited tumor growth in nude mice inoculated with t(8;21)-harboring Kasumi-1 cells.

Oridonin is a diterpenoid with anti-cancer activity that occurs in the Chinese medicinal plant Isodon rubescens and some related species. While the bioactivity of oridonin has been well studied, the extent of natural variation in the production of this compound
Oridonin, an active diterpenoid isolated from traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has drawn rising attention for its remarkable apoptosis- and autophagy-inducing activity and relevant molecular mechanisms in cancer therapy. Apoptosis is a well known type of cell death, whereas autophagy can

Oridonin (ORI) could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. However, the mechanism is not fully understood. Human prostate cancer (HPC) cells were cultured in vitro and cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay. The

We reported previously that phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by U937 cells was enhanced by the treatment with oridonin that showed high activity to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in many cells. ROS, important signaling molecules, are involved
Oridonin, a diterpenoid compound extracted and purified from Rabdosia rubescen, has been reported to induce tumor cell apoptosis through tyrosine kinase pathway. To further examine the mechanism of oridonin, we selected human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cell as a test object.
