Dehydrotrametenolic acid (Dehydroeburicoic acid) induces necrotic cell death that involves Ca(2+) overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, and calpain activation in human glioblastomas.
1. 3-Dehydrotrametenolic acid can be a potential anticancer agent against H-ras transformed tumor. 2. Dehydrotrametenolic acid is a promising candidate for a new type of insulin-sensitizing drug.
Poricoic acid A (Poricoic acid A(F)) is a natural product with antitumor activity. It also enhances melatonin inhibition of AKI-to-CKD transition by regulating the Gas6/AxlNFκB/Nrf2 axis.
3-O-Acetyl-16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid exhibits inhibitory activities against AAPH-induced hemolysis of red blood cells and demonstrates strong inhibitory effects on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced inflammation in mice.
Poricoic acid B shows inhibitory activity against TPA-induced ear inflammatory oedema, it also shows potent inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)
