Product Data
Biological target:
Psoromic acid shows cytotoxic effects on primary rat cerebral cortex and human cancer U87MG cell lines (IC50s = 79.40 and 56.22 mg/L, respectively). Psoromic acid is cytotoxic against human KB cancer cells (IC50 = 31.6 µM). Psoromic acid shows moderate activity against liver stage P. beghei (IC50 = 31.6 µM) and drug-resistant blood stage P. falciparum (IC50 = 29.2 µM).
In vitro activity:
Psoralidin is a potent radical scavenger in physiological polar media.However, psoralidin is a moderate radical scavenger in lipid media. Psoralidin moderately reduces the basal ROS level in human keratinocytes at non-toxic concentrations, Reference: J Org Chem. 2023 May 5;88(9):5745-5751. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37074959/
