• Description: 14-Epitriptolide is a diterpenoid epoxide, which is derived from the natural product triptolide. It originates from the plant species *Tripterygium wilfordii*, commonly known in traditional Chinese medicine. The mode of action of 14-Epitriptolide involves the inhibition of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription, thereby interfering with transcriptional processes essential for cancer cell survival and proliferation. Additionally, it induces oxidative stress and disrupts cellular homeostasis.
