Citreoviridin, a toxin from Penicillium citreoviride NRRL 2579, inhibits brain synaptosomal Na+/K+-ATPase whereas, in microsomes, both Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities are significantly stimulated in a dose-dependent manner.
Acanthoic acid is a pimaradiene diterpene isolated from Acanthopanax koreanum with anti-inflammatory activities. Acanthoic acid downregulates LPS-induced IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α production in BALF, attenuates lung histopathologic changes, and inhibits infla
Noroxyhydrastinine exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities, it inhibits melanogenesis, at least in part, by inhibiting the expression of protein levels of tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2 in α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells.
Ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate is a powerful activator of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms. It effectively induces the translocation of nPKC-delta, -epsilon, and -theta as well as PKC-mu from the cytosolic fraction to the particulate fraction. Through de novo synthesis of macromolecules, it triggers apoptosis with characteristic morphology. Moreover, Ingenol 3,20-dibenzoate enhances IFN-γ production and degranulation in NK cells, particularly when stimulated by NSCLC cells[1][2].
