acetylshikonin

Acetylshikonin 来源于紫草根，具有抗癌、抗炎作用。它是一种 AChE 抑制剂，具有很强的抗凋亡活性。它是一种非选择性的细胞色素 P450抑制剂，对所有 P450 亚型抑制的 IC50值范围为 1.4-4.0 μM。

DL-Acetylshikonin can effectively inhibit tumor cells, it can be used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma cells expressing hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX) by inducing ER stress , an oncoprotein from hepatitis B virus. Acetylshikonin inhibits the production of eicosanoid, is due to the attenuation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) membrane recruitment via the decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) and to the blockade of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase activity.
