  1. Honokiol IN THE Integrative TREATMENT OF CANCER

  2. Introduction: History of Honokiol

  3. Magnolia Bark Extract • Extracts from the tree bark of the genus Magnolia have been used for over 2,000 years in traditional Chinese (as Hou Po) and Japanese medicines (as Saiboku-to) to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, neurological diseases, including anxiety, depression, and seizures • TCM properties: Bitter, acrid, warm, aromatic • Channels: Large intestine, lung, spleen, stomach • The active ingredients in the extracts have been identified as the bi-phenolic isomers magnolol and honokiol

  4. Magnolol and Honokiol Isomers • As honokiol exists naturally with its structural isomer magnolol, which differs from honokiol only by the position of one hydroxyl group, purification has often been limited • Methods developed since 2006, are now able to simply purify the honokiol active ingredient away from the more predominate less active magnolol

  9. In Vivo and In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Honokiol

  10. Extensive Preclinical Oncology Research has Shown that Honokiol: • Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) expression • Inhibits invasive behavior • Down-regulates antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL • Inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo • Induces caspase dependent apoptosis through down-regulation of the antiapoptotic protein Mcl-1 • Overcomes drug resistance in multiple myeloma

  11. Extensive Preclinical Oncology Research has Shown that Honokiol (Continued): • Potentiates the apoptotic effects of TNF and chemotherapeutic drugs • Suppresses induced osteoclastogenesis • Suppresses TNF-induced tumor cell invasion activity • Blocks NF-kB activation induced by various agents • Suppresses NF-kB activation in a dose-and time-dependent manner • Inhibits constitutive NF-kB activation

  12. Honokiol Anti-Tumor Gene & Protein Expression Modulation • Up regulated • p21 & p27 • Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP-1 • Cytosolic Cytochrome C • Greater Caspase Activity • Bax (pro-apoptotic protein) • Bak (pro-apoptotic protein) • Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) • Calpain • Caspase-3, 8, 9 • Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) • p53 Activation (tumor suppressor gene)

  14. Huanli X, et al. Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics. 2011; 5(5):202-210 The extrinsic apoptosis pathway involves ligation of death receptors with their ligands, resulting in a sequential activation of caspase-8 and -3 Intrinsic death stimuli indirectly activates the mitochondrial pathway by inducing release of cytochrome c and formation of the apoptosome, which consists of Apaf-1 and caspase-9. Caspase-9 is activated at the apoptosome and in turn activates procaspase-3 H H Effects of honokiol (H) on extrinsic (receptor-mediated) & intrinsic (mitochondria-mediated) apoptosis pathways in cancer

  25. Effect of Honokiol on Reactive Oxygen Species

  26. The Inhibition by Honokiol of Reactive Oxygen Driven Tumors • Due to its involvement with the NADPH oxidase (NOX) pathway. • This inhibition was first demonstrated • in neutrophils • in hepatocytes • Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) • NF-kB regulates the signaling pathway of NOX-mediated oxidative stress

  27. Honokiol Improves the Functions of Normal Human Cells • Results of oxygen consumption and malondialdehyde (MDA) production showed that the honokiol inhibition was 1,000 times that of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) • As honokiol is better than α-tocopherol at inhibiting lipid peroxidation, it was used to protect the myocardium against ischemic injury by suppressing ventricular arrhythmia during ischemia and reperfusion • Studies have shown the protective effect of honokiol on hepatocytes from peroxidative injury, oxygen consumption, and malondialdehyde formation

  28. Honokiol has Both Pro- and Antioxidant Activities • Honokiol has antioxidant activities because the allyl groups on honokiol can react with reactive oxygen species • Also the anti-mitochondrial effects of honokiol generates reactive oxygen by activating the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The ability of honokiol to activate the mitochondrial pore may be dependent on the p53 status, with tumors with wild-type p53 having greater susceptibility to pore formation

  29. Immune & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Effects of Honokiol

  30. Targeting the Intrinsic Inflammatory Pathway: Honokiol Exerts Proapoptotic Effects Through STAT3 Inhibition in Transformed Barrett's Cells • Yu C, et al. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2012 Sep 1;303(5):G561-9 • Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) contributes to the intrinsic inflammatory pathway in Barrett's esophagus. • In human tumors, honokiol has growth-inhibitory and proapoptotic effects associated with suppressed activation of STAT3 • Honokiol causes necrosis and apoptosis in transformed Barrett's and esophageal adenocarcinoma cells, but not in nontransformed Barrett's cells, and the proapoptotic effects of honokiol are mediated by its inhibition of STAT3 signaling.

  31. Honokiol, a Natural Plant Product, Inhibits Inflammatory Signals & Alleviates Inflammatory Arthritis • Munroe ME, et al. J Immunol 179: 753–763, 2007 • Treatment with honokiol significantly decreased the clinical scores of collagen-induced arthritis in both normal and transgenic mice • Antibody production, most notably IgG3, was diminished, as were IL-12, IL-6, interferon gamma, and notably IL-17 • These findings indicate that honokiol may have benefit against IL-17–mediated inflammatory disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease

  32. Neurologic Effects of Honokiol

  33. GABA (γ-Aminobutyric acid) • The major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system • GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of neuronal processes • It is synthesized in the brain from glutamate using the enzyme L-glutamic acid decarboxylase and pyridoxal phosphate (active form of vitamin B6) as a cofactor via a metabolic pathway called the GABA shunt. • Increase in the available amount of GABA typically have relaxing, anti-anxiety, and anti-convulsive effects

  34. GABA is synthesized from glutamate in a reaction catalyzed by glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) "GABA Shunt"

  35. GABA Production Enhancers • Taurine helps breakdown glutamate to GABA • Lysine enhances GABA action • Manganese is essential for glutamine synthesis • Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is an essential cofactor for the GABA producing enzyme L-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)

  36. Honokiol, a Putative Anxiolytic Agent Extracted from Magnolia Bark, has No Diazepam-Like Side-Effects in Mice • Kuribara H, et al. J Pharm Pharmacol. 1999 Jan;51(1):97-103 • Results suggest that honokiol is less likely than diazepam to induce physical dependence, central depression and amnesia at doses eliciting the anxiolytic effect. It is also considered that honokiol might have no therapeutic effect in the treatment of convulsion

  37. Effect of Honokiol on Activity of GAD(65) and GAD(67) in the Cortex and Hippocampus of Mice • Ku TH, et al. Phytomedicine. 2011 Oct 15;18(13):1126-9 • Mice treated with daily injection for 7 days of honokiol caused anxiolytic action which was similar to that was induced by 7 daily injection of diazepam in a elevated plus-maze test. In addition, the activity of hippocampal glutamic acid decarboxylase GAD(65) of honokiol treated mice was significantly increased than that of the vehicle or diazepam treated groups. These data suggest that honokiol causes diazepam-like anxiolytic action, which may be mediated by altering the synthesis of GABA in the brain of mice

  38. Honokiol Antimicrobial Activity

  39. Antimicrobial Activity of Magnolol and Honokiol against Periodontopathic Microorganisms • Chang B, et al. Planta Med. 1998 May;64(4):367-9 • Honokiol has been used to treat such periodontopathic microorganisms as • Porphyromonas gingivalis • Prevotella gingivalis • Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans • Capnocytophaga gingivalis • Veillonella disper • No cytotoxicity against human gingival fibroblasts and epithelial cells; along with other gram-positive bacteria and fungi

  40. Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Neolignans from Magnolia officinalis • Syu WJ, et al. Chem Biodivers 1: 530–537, 2004 • Honokiol has been used to inhibit the growth of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), in a dose-and time-dependent manner

  41. How do I use honokiol?

  42. Honokiol in Cancer Treatment • Anti-Cancer Effects • Enhancement • Protectant

  43. Combination and Synergy • Chemotherapy • Cisplatin, Doxorubicin, Imatinib, Chlorambucil, Gemcitabine, Adriamycin • Heat Therapy • Radiation Therapy (Honokiol enhances the sensitivity of cancer stem cells to ionizing radiation) • Honokiol in combination with radiation targets notch signaling to inhibit colon cancer stem cells. Ponnurangam S, et al. Mol Cancer Ther. 2012 Apr;11(4):963-72 • Metabolism

  44. Honokiol Dosages Active Cancer: Build up to 1 g X 3/day starting with 250 mg x 3 times a day Prevention and Post Therapy: 1 g/day Anti-inflammatory and Circulation Support: 250 mg x 2/day to 500 mg x 2/day Periodontal disease: 500 mg x 2/day until condition improves, then 250 mg x 2/day Antioxidant: 250 mg x 2/day Anxiety: 250 mg x 2/day Sleep: 250 mg before bed

  45. Side Effects & Tolerance • No appreciable side effects • Usually well tolerated • Side effect (dose dependent) • Diarrhea • Possible stomach discomfort • Reversed with warming herbs • ginger, cardamom, etc.

  46.
