Embelin (Emb), the major component of Ardisia japonica BL. (AJB), traditional herbal remedies, possesses various pharmacological effects. Emb exhibits the anti-inflammatory effect on allergic asthma via inhibition of NF-κB activity. The antitumor effects of the drug related to its ability to prevent and to treat prostate cancer. Embelin inhibits of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) via the XIAP BIR3 domain that allows using this drug, as a promising lead compound for designing an entirely new class of anticancer agents that target the BIR3 domain of XIAP. Besides, experiments on rodents have shown that EMB pretreatment could reduce myocardial injury via anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects.
