Abstract
Lycii Radicis Cortex, the root bark of Lycium chinense Miller (Solanaceae) is used in oriental medicine as a tonic and is reported to exhibit hypotensive, hypoglycemic, and antipyretic activity. Recently, we have isolated dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine, a phenolic amide, from the Lycii Radicis Cortex. Treatment with dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine significantly inhibited the proliferation of human leukemia cell lines HL-60 in a dose-dependent manner. We found also that the growth inhibition of HL-60 by dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine is associated with induction of apoptosis of cells. (omitted)
