Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17876042 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22759348 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16103367

Gambogic acid (GA), a naturally occurring xanthone-based moiety, reported from Garcinia hanburyi tree, is known to perform numerous intracellular and extracellular actions, including programmed cell death, autophagy, cell cycle arrest, antiangiogenesis, antimetastatic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, GA-based synergistic approaches have been proven to enhance the healing strength of existing chemotherapeutic agents along with lesser side effects. Among cellular targets of gambogic acid topoisomerase, multidrug-resistant protein ATP-binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) and Transferrin receptor.

Sample Use Guides

The animals in the treatment group received one of three dosages of gambogic acid (in saline; 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg) via the caudal vein twice weekly. For intraperitoneal administration the mice were randomly assigned to treatment with 10, 20 or 30 mg/kg gambogic acid for 3 weeks.
Route of Administration: Other
Gambogic acid displays potent antiproliferative activity against a wide panel of human tumors without distinct selectivity among the cells lines tested. The average IC50 of GA against the 21 cell lines was 1.23 μmol/L.
