Popis: TRAIL is a promising anticancer agent due to its unique ability to kill tumor cells selectively without harming non-malignant cells. However, some cancer cells are reported to be TRAIL - resistant. Searching potent TRAIL agonist to overcome resistance is an important strategy for its successful use as an anticancer agent. As a part of our continuous research on natural inhibitors, activity-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of Boesenbergia pandurata rhizomes afforded three ( 1 – 3 ) new isopimarane diterpenes, boesenberols I–K, together with two ( 4 – 5 ) known compounds. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated using HRESIMS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. All compounds showed TRAIL-resistance overcoming activity.
