0 ImagesArt. -Nr.: HY-187654CAS. Nr.: 27542-17-2Erioflorin is a sesquiterpene lactone compound originally isolated from plants of the Asteraceae family (such as Eriophyllum confertiflorum and species of the Podanthus genus). Erioflorin acts as a selective β-TrCP1 modulator. Erioflorin induces cell apoptosis by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway by blocking the phosphorylation of IκBα, and prevents the ubiquitination and degradation of the tumor suppressor Pdcd4 by inhibiting the interaction between Pdcd4 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase β-TrCP1. Erioflorin can be used in research related to breast cancer, colon cancer, advanced prostate cancer, and Chagas disease.
