6-Methoxydihydroavicine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid with anti-leukemia activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological malignancy with limited therapeutic options. Despite recent advances in targeted therapies, patients are still faced with poor survival outcomes. Thus, development of novel therapeutic agents with broad efficacy remains an urgent need. Methods: - a perennial herb found in China, North America and Europe - as a potent compound that reduced AML cell viability. We evaluated its cytotoxicity in multiple AML cell lines and investigated its underlying mechanism of action using assays that probed mitochondrial function, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Results: 6-methoxydihydroavicine significantly reduced cell viability and induced caspase-mediated cell death in AML cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, 6-methoxydihydroavicine triggered accumulation of mitochondrial ROS and disrupted electron transport chain (ETC) function. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that 6-methoxydihydroavicine exerts strong cytotoxic effects against AML cells through mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS-mediated apoptosis. As a natural, plant-derived compound with distinct anti-AML properties, 6-methoxydihydroavicine represents a promising candidate for further development as a therapeutic agent for AML.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
