    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia is an aggressive disease with limited and nonselective therapeutic options. This study explored the bioactivity and cell death inducing mechanism of diosmetin, a novel compound identified in a nutraceutical screen to impart selective anti-AML activity. Diosmetin, a citrus flavone, induced apoptosis characterized by increases in caspases 8 and 3/7 and the death inducing cytokine TNFα. In fact, through protein and mRNA expression analysis, activity was shown to be dependent on expression of estrogen receptor (ER) β. Treatment with diosmetin also delayed tumor growth in AML mouse xenografts. In summary, these studies highlight diosmetin as a novel therapeutic that induces apoptosis through estrogen receptor β.

    Abstract To identify novel anti-cancer agents, we created and screened a unique nutraceutical library for activity against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. From this screen, we determined that glucopsychosine was selectively toxic toward AML cell lines and primary AML patient samples with no effect toward normal hematopoietic cells. It delayed tumor growth and reduced tumor weights in mouse xenograft models without imparting toxicity. Glucopsychosine increased cytosolic calcium and induced apoptosis through calpain enzymes. Extracellular calcium was functionally important for glucopsychosine-induced AML cell death and surface calcium channel expression is altered in AML cells highlighting a unique mechanism of glucopsychosine's selectivity.
