Description
  • Plant growth modulator/inhibitor.
  • Anticancer agent. Exhibits antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in carcinoma cells and displays cytotoxic activity against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines.  Shown to promote autophagy-induced apoptosis and to slow cell cycle progression.
  • Inhibits protein synthesis by interacting with the 60S ribosome subunit.
  • Regulates the Rho/ROCK/LIM kinase/cofilin pathway. Stimulates RhoA activation and induces actin polymerization.
  • Anti-obesity agent. Attenuates diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice by promoting oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle and energy expenditure.
  • Anti-inflammatory agent suppressing NF-κB-dependent gene transcription.
  • Antiviral agent in vitro.
  • Antifungal agent.
  • Shown to inhibit amyloid plaque formation in an Alzheimer's disease model.
