Beschreibung

Hydnocarpic acid is a potent anticancer agent that has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. It works by binding to chitin, a major component of the cell wall in fungi and insects, and disrupting its structure. This leads to cell death by inducing apoptosis, a process where cells self-destruct. Hydnocarpic acid also inhibits heparin-induced platelet aggregation in human urine, which may be useful in preventing blood clots. Additionally, this compound has been found to be an inhibitor of protein kinase C, a family of enzymes involved in regulating cell growth and division. Hydnocarpic acid is an analog of potassium ionophores produced by Chinese medicinal plants and may have potential as a novel cancer therapy.
