Natural Compounds with BMI1 Promoter Inhibitory Activity from Mammea siamensis and Andrographis paniculata

A new coumarin derivative (1) and 30 known compounds were isolated from Mammea siamensis and Andrographis paniculata, guided by B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion region 1 (BMI1) promoter inhibitory activity. Among the isolated compounds, 15 compounds showed BMI1 promoter inhibi-tory activity, and five compounds were found to be cytotoxic. 14-Deoxy-11,12-dehydroandrographolide (18) was highly cytotoxic to DU145 cells with an IC50 value of 25.4 mu M. Western blotting analysis of compound 18 in DU145 cells suggested that compound 18 suppresses BMI1 expression.
