| Lignan found in bark of some magnolia species. Magnolol (MAG) — a bioactive biphenolic compound from Magnolia officinalis derived from the bark (roots and branches) of Magnolia species such as M. officinalis, M. obovata, and M. grandiflora The two main bioactive compounds isolated from these plants are MAG (5,5ʹ-diallyl-2,2ʹ-dihydroxybiphenyl) and Honokiol (3,5ʹ-diallyl-4,2ʹ-dihydroxybiphenyl) (Fig. 1) which are phenolic regioisomers. In the bark extracts of Magnolia plants, the composition of MAG ranges from 1 to 10%, while Honokiol comprises 1 to 5% Magnolol is a biphenolic neolignan isolated from the bark of Magnolia officinalis. It is structurally related to honokiol and is studied for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroactive effects. In preclinical oncology models, magnolol is reported to modulate NF-κB, STAT3, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and redox pathways, with downstream effects on cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, invasion/EMT, and angiogenesis. Oral bioavailability is limited and many cytotoxic concentrations reported in vitro are in the tens of µM range, often above typical systemic levels from standard supplementation. major pathways and molecular targets involved in magnolol’s anticancer actions: -Apoptosis: ↑ Bax, ↓ Bcl-2, ↑ cytochrome c, ↑ caspase-9, ↑ caspase-3 -Arrests cell cycle at G0/G1 or G2/M phase:↓ Cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK6, Cyclin B1, CDK1 -Inhibits NF-κB activation: ↓ IκBα, COX-2, TNF-α -Inhibits PI3K, Akt, and mTOR phosphorylation -Suppresses angiogenesis: ↓ Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, VEGF, cyclin D1 -Inhibits β-catenin nuclear translocation -increase ROS production in tumor cells → triggers mitochondrial apoptosis -Magnolol activates Nrf2 in normal cells → upregulates HO-1, NQO1: Protects normal tissue from oxidative stress during chemotherapy or inflammation. Most in-vitro IC50 values fall in the 10–100 µM range, often above typical systemic exposure.

| Cyclin E regulates multiple downstream molecules, such as the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB1) and the transcription factor E2F. Cyclin E (Cyclin E1 and Cyclin E2) is the key regulator of the late G1 → S-phase transition. Cyclin E is a prognostic marker in breast cancer, its altered expression increased with the increasing stage and grade of the tumor. Cyclin E is a regulatory protein that plays a critical role in the cell cycle, particularly in the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase. Its expression levels can significantly influence cancer progression and patient prognosis. Cyclin E expression is frequently elevated in various cancers and is generally associated with poor prognosis. Its role in promoting cell cycle progression makes it a potential biomarker for tumor aggressiveness and patient outcomes. |
