Product Information

• Name: Xanthatin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Xanthatin is a sesquiterpene lactone that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. It was found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro by suppressing the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein. Xanthatin also inhibits the production of basic fibroblast growth factor, which has been shown to stimulate tumor cell proliferation. Xanthatin has synergistic effects with other compounds, such as retinoic acid, anthraquinones, or vitamin D3. Xanthatin's biological properties include inhibition of energy metabolism and apoptosis pathway in cancer cells. This compound also inhibits the activity of cyclic peptide synthetase enzymes. It has significant cytotoxicity against human colon carcinoma cells and is active against both estrogen receptor-positive and -negative breast cancer cells.
