Description
An anthrone inhibitor of keratinocyte proliferation and a modulator of differentiation; increases apoptosis and inhibits proliferation of NHKs at 2.5 μM; decreases the mitochondrial membrane potential, increases cytochrome c release, and induces perinuclear mitochondrial clustering in NHKs at 5 μM; decreases β-defensin-2 and S100A9 expression and increases IL-6 and IL-8 expression in IL-17A- and IL-22-stimulated NHKs at 0.25 μM; inhibits A23187-stimulated LTB4 production from human neutrophils (IC50 = 7 μM); induces hair regrowth in a DEBR model of alopecia areata
