Overview

Information

Acetylshikonin is a biologically active compound with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity, which is isolated from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizoma. It is a novel generalP450inhibitor withIC50 valuesof 1.4-4.0 μM for all tested P450s.


Targets

P450


application:

Acetylshikonin is the main ingredient of Zicao, which has used in clinics as a traditional Chinese for thousands of years. It exerts anti-obesity and anti-NAFLD effects through the regulation of lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory effects. Also, it is a 1,4-naphthoquinone pigment extracted from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon with anti-tumor effects.
