[Biological activity and structure of antitumor compounds from Plantago media L]. / Plantago media L antitumor hatóanyagainak szerkezete és biológiai aktivitása.

ABSTRACT

Tyrosine kinase inhibition and tumor growth inhibition activity of verbascoside and homoplantaginin are described. Both molecules proved to be equally significant inhibitors of isolated EGF-R tyrosine kinases, nevertheless their in vitro antiproliferative activity was variable in cellular assays. Their different inhibitory efficacies could be interpreted on the basis of conformational analysis and lipophilicity evaluation.
