Anticancer activity of natural cytokinins: A structure–activity relationship study

Chemical modification of the plant isoprenoid cytokinin N6-isopentenyladenosine yields a selective inhibitor of human enterovirus 71 replication

“…Cytokinin ribosides were found to inhibit the growth of mammalian neoplastic cells in vitro [3,4], and, in limited clinical trials in the 1970's, N 6 -isopentenyladenosine showed some antitumor chemotherapeutic effect [5]. These findings initiated an interest to synthesize novel N 6 -adenosine analogs in an attempt to identify compounds with enhance antitumor activity.…”

Neuroprotective therapeutics from botanicals and phytochemicals against Huntington's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders

“…Earlier studies have shown cytokinins, cytokinin ribosides and their analogs to possess cytotoxic and anti-carcinogenic activities against a number of cancer cell lines (Voller et al, 2010, Casati et al, 2011.…”

Sequential fractionation of value-added coconut products using membrane processes

“…They can be employed to stimulate the cell division of human body [1,8]. If the kinetin and zeatin from skimmed coconut milk can be separated and concentrated using appropriate processes, they will have huge potential to be applied in many applications such as medicinal, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors [9,10]. The great versatility of these valuable compounds from the coconut has attracted the attentions of many researchers to produce more profitable value-added coconut products.…”
