Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Psoralidin is a furanocoumarin isolated from the seeds of P. corylifolia, a medicinal plant found in southeastern Asia, that has been shown to induce cytotoxicity against various cancer cells.1 Through TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-mediated events, psoralidin at 50 μM can induce the death of HeLa cancer cells.2 It also can induce apoptosis of androgen-dependent (LNCaP, C4-2B) and androgen-independent (DU-145, PC-3) prostate cancer cells and inhibit the growth of PC-3 xenograft tumors in nude mice.3 | [Uses]
Antineoplastic compound. Cytotoxic against stomach cancer cell lines. Shows antibacterial activity against Shigella sonnei and S. flexneri. Shows strong antioxidant activity and inhibits tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity. Was shown to possess potent antidepressant properties. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A member of the class of coumestans that is coumestan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 9 and a prenyl group at position 2 respectively. | [References]
