Rocaglamide

개요Rocaglamide is an anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, and anticancer tetrahydrobenzofuran isolated from Aglaia species. It has been shown to inhibit both TNF-α and the activation of NF-κB in Jurkat T cells with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. At 25 nM, rocaglamide induces apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines, activating p38 MAPK/JNK and suppressing ERK. Rocaglamide also reduces IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-4 production in peripheral blood T cells at a concentration of 50 nM. Furthermore, rocaglamide can inhibit the T cell expression of the immune response transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells.

용도Rocaglamide is derived from a Chinese medicinal plant Aglaia. Rocaglamide induces apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines and in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia cells freshly isolated from patients.

일반 설명Rocaglamide is known to be derived from tetrahydro benzofuran and is also an active chemical compound of Aglaia plants.
