Death receptor 5 (DR5) is an apoptosis-inducing membrane receptor for TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand ( TRAIL). On screening for compounds that enhance DR5 expression using a luciferase assay with DLD-1/SacI, we previously identified 4'-demethyltoxicarol isoflavone ( 1) isolated from the leaves of Millettia brandisiana. In this study, we revealed that 1 sensitized TRAIL-resistant human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of DR5. 1 induced DR5 expression at both the mRNA and protein level. A human recombinant DR5/Fc chimera remarkably inhibited 1-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that the enhancement of DR5 expression by 1 was critical to the cell death. Furthermore, a MeOH extract of the bark of Ardisia colorata markedly enhanced DR5 activity in this screening system. Bioassay-guided fractionation of A. colorata led to the isolation and identification of a new isoflavone, coloratanin A ( 3), together with ten known compounds. The chemical structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of a spectroscopic analysis. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
