Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel obovatol derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Having the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis in cancer cells, the derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful in the prevention and treatment of cancer and in the suppression of cancer metastasis. Also, a method for preparing the derivatives, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the derivatives as active ingredients are disclosed. wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a novel cinnamaldehyde compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The cinnamaldehyde compound has improved solubility in water and has inhibitory effects on the growth of cancer cells because it induces cell cycle arrest and cell death. Also disclosed are a method of preparing the cinnamaldehyde compound and an anticancer composition including the compound of Chemical Formula 1.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an agent for preventing and treating cancer which includes an oxadiazole urea compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, below, as an effective ingredient. The oxadiazole urea compound effectively inhibits the growth of cancer cell lines and the activity of STAT3, and may be used in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease containing the extracts of Magnolia obovata or fractions thereof as an active ingredient, more precisely, a composition for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease containing the extracts of Magnolia obovata fruits and floral buds extracted with alcohol or alcohol aqueous solution as a solvent and active fractions isolated from the same. The extracts and fractions of the present invention inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) generation significantly, have anti-inflammation activity and low cytotoxicity, and contain all of major effective components isolated from Magnolia obovata such as obovatol, honokiol and magnolol, so that they can be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing the extracts of Magnolia obovata Thunberg or fractions thereof for the prevention and treatment of cancer and for the inhibition of metastasis. Particularly, the extracts of Magnolia obovata Thunberg fruits and floral buds extracted with water, alcohol or a mixture thereof as a solvent and fractions isolated from the same inhibit metastasis by inhibiting migration of those cells over-expressing PRL-3 which plays an important role in cancer cell growth and migration and at the same time induce apoptosis of cancer cells, so that they can be effectively used as a composition for the prevention and treatment of cancer or a composition for the inhibition of metastasis.
