Evaluating the anticancer potential of Polygonum multiflorum root-derived stilbenes against H2452 malignant pleural mesothelioma cells

초록

A naturally occurring stilbene, resveratrol, shows promising effects in the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs. To discover new anticancer agents targeting MPM, stilbene-targeted isolation was performed on the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., an herbal medicine rich in stilbene compounds. In this study, seven stilbene glycosides (1-7) were isolated, along with four non-stilbenes (8-11), of which compounds 4 and 9-11 have not previously been isolated from this species. Stiquinoside A (1) is a previously undescribed stilbene glycoside, and its structure was elucidated as (E)-2,3,5,4 '-tetrahydroxystilbene 2-O-beta-D-quinovopyranoside based on 1D and 2D-NMR, HR-ESIMS, and acid hydrolysis experiments. Compounds 1, 4, 6, and 8 significantly inhibit the growth of MPM cancer cells H2452. These results demonstrate the potential utility of stilbenes in new strategies for the treatment of MPM.
