Product Information

• Name: Goniothalamin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Goniothalamin is a bioactive styryl-lactone, which is a naturally occurring compound derived from the Goniothalamus plant species, commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is recognized for its intriguing biological properties, particularly its potential anticancer effects. Goniothalamin exerts its mode of action primarily through the induction of apoptosis in cancerous cells. It initiates cell death by disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential, activating caspase enzymes, and promoting the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Additionally, it is reported to modulate various signaling pathways involved in cell survival and proliferation.
