• Description: Ginkgolide C is a terpenoid lactone, which is a natural compound isolated from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree. Ginkgolide C is primarily known for its activity as a specific antagonist of platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent phospholipid activator and mediator of many leukocyte functions, including platelet aggregation. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of PAF binding to its receptor, thereby reducing PAF-related inflammatory responses and platelet aggregation.
