Mechanism and Anticancer Activity of the Metabolites of an Endophytic Fungi from Eucommia ulmoides Oliv

Backgroud: Pinoresinol (Pin) and pinoresinol monoglucoside (PMG) are plant-derived lignan molecules with multiple functions. We showed previously that an endophytic fungus from Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., Phomopsis sp. XP-8 is able to produce Pin and PMG. Keywords: Apoptosis, caspase, inhibition effects, pinoresinol, pinoresinol monoglucosid.
