Antitumor and anti-HIV agent


Antitumor and anti-HIV agent. Induces apoptosis by activating mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Inhibits NF-κB activation and NF-κB-regulated gene expression induced by carcinogens and inflammatory stimuli. Decreases expression of Bcl-2 and cyclin D1. Potent proteasome activator. Triggers CD95- and p53-independent apoptosis via activation of caspases. It induces mitochondrial permeability pore opening and the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor. Displays anti-HIV activity. EC50 for inhibion of HIV-1 replicaton in H9 lymphocytes: 1.4µM.


Isolated from Platanus acerifolia (plane) tree bark.
