Description
A quassinoid; active against the W2 and D6 clones of P. falciparum (IC50s = 0.015 and 0.026 µg/ml, respectively); induces lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (EC50 = 14.6 µM); induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and apoptosis in HepG2 cells at 5 µg/ml; reduces estrogen release and increases testosterone release in isolated rat Leydig cell-rich testicular interstitial cell preparations at 1 and 10 µM; decreases gastric acid secretion and lesion size in rat models of indomethacin-, water immersion stress-, or pyloric ligation-induced ulcer formation at 1 mg/kg
