(+)-Pancratistatin

Description:

(+)-Pancratistatin is a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from the plant species Pancratium, known for its potential therapeutic properties. It is characterized by its complex molecular structure, which includes a bicyclic framework and multiple functional groups that contribute to its biological activity. This compound exhibits notable anti-cancer properties, particularly in inhibiting the growth of certain tumor cells, making it a subject of interest in cancer research. Additionally, (+)-Pancratistatin has been studied for its effects on apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which is a crucial mechanism in cancer treatment. The substance is typically found in low concentrations in its natural sources, necessitating extraction and purification for research and potential pharmaceutical applications. Its stereochemistry, indicated by the (+) designation, suggests a specific spatial arrangement of atoms that is essential for its biological activity. Overall, (+)-Pancratistatin represents a promising area of study in the search for novel anti-cancer agents.

Pancratistatin

CAS: 96203-70-2

Pancratistatin is a naturally-derived alkaloid, primarily isolated from the bulbs of the Pancratium littorale and other members of the Amaryllidaceae family. It exerts its biological activity through the selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. This remarkable selectivity is likely due to the compound’s ability to target mitochondrial pathways, disrupting the cancer cell's energy metabolism and triggering cell death without affecting healthy tissue.
