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, antiangiogenes...
Wedelolactone, a compound originally extracted from Eclipta alba, has been shown to inhibit caspase-11, which is a key regulator of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β maturation and pathological apoptosis. Mechanistic studies suggest that caspase-11 is i...
1,4-naphthoquinone is a chemical studied as a potential inhibitor of monoamine oxidase and DNA topoisomerase activities as well as acetyltransferase activity. 1,4-Naphthoquinone is a potent inhibitor of human cancer cell growth and angiogenesis.
Alternariol is the mycotoxin produced by Alternaria fungi. It occurs naturally in foodstuffs and is frequently found as contaminant in fruit and grain products. It forms reactive oxygen species and interacts with DNA topoisomerase, thereby generating...
