Rocaglamide
Rocaglamide is an organic heterotricyclic compound that is 2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]cyclopenta[d]furan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 1 and 8b, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 8, a 4-methoxyphenyl group at position 3a, a phenyl group at position 3 and a N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group at position 1. Isolated from Aglaia odorata and Aglaia duperreana, it exhibits antineoplastic activity. It has a role as a metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and an antileishmanial agent. It is an organic heterotricyclic compound, a monomethoxybenzene and a monocarboxylic acid amide. Rocaglamide, also referred to as rocaglamide-A, is the eponymous member of a class of anti-cancer phytochemicals known as rocaglamides. Rocaglamides are secondary metabolites of the plant genus Aglaia, and extracts of the plant have traditionally been used as a form of insect repellant due to its natural insecticidal properties. Reports of Aglaia anti-tumor activity date back as far as 1973, and rocaglamide-A was first isolated in 1982 from the species A. elliptifolia. Rocaglamide and a number of its derivatives (e.g. [didesmethylrocaglamide]) are currently being studied for use as chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of various leukemias, lymphomas, and carcinomas, as well as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of certain chemotherapy-resistant cancers. Rocaglamide is a natural product found in Aglaia rimosa, Aglaia elliptifolia, and other organisms with data available.
