Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ramentaceone is a naphthoquinone compound primarily found in Drosera (sundew) species. Here’s a summary of its known bioactivities: 1. Antimicrobial Activity Exhibits antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. Shows antifungal activity against Candida species and dermatophytes. 2. Anticancer Activity Demonstrates cytotoxic effects on various cancer cell lines, including melanoma and lung carcinoma. Mechanism likely involves oxidative stress induction and interference with cellular redox balance. 3. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects Modulates inflammatory pathways by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines. Acts as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, reducing oxidative damage. 4. Enzyme Inhibition Reported to inhibit topoisomerase and other enzymes linked to DNA replication and repair, contributing to its anticancer potential. 5. Potential for Drug Development Due to its cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties, ramentaceone is being studied as a lead compound for anticancer and antibacterial agents.
