Taiwanin C selectively inhibits arecoline and 4-NQO-induced oral cancer cell proliferation via ERK1/2 inactivation. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Taiwanin C is a furonaphthodioxole that is furo[3',4':6,7]naphtho[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6(8H)-one subtituted by a 1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl group at position 5. It is a naturally occurring lignan extracted from Taiwania cryptomerioides and found to be a potential inhibitor of COX2 expression. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It is a furonaphthodioxole, a member of benzodioxoles and a lignan. |
