Coronarin D

Coronarin D shows promising antifungal activity against C. albicans in vitro, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were 2 and 4 mg mL, respectively; it is active against tested Gram-positive bacteria, i

Coronarin D inhibits NF-KB activation pathway, which leads to inhibition of inflammation, invasion, and osteoclastogenesis, as well as potentiation of apoptosis.It shows promising antifungal activity against C. albicans in vitro.

Coronarin D methyl ether has inhibitory effects on the increase in vascular permeability, nitric oxide production, and inducible nitric oxide synthase induction.

Isocoronarin D is a main active ingredient for inducing death of the tested cancer cells, it possesses a wide anti-cancer capability. Isocoronarin D may have potential chemopreventive activity, it can activate antioxidant response element (ARE) (EC50 57.6 ± 2.4 uM). It also shows the highest Hb F induction effect of 1.6-fold at 20 microM.

Coronarin, A, B, C, and D are cytotoxic prinicples from the rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium, Zingiberaceae. Coronarin A exhibits good growth inhibition activities on HUVEC proliferation, it effectively suppresses the growth factor induced tube formation
