Aschantin
Aschantin, a bisepoxylignan, can be isolated from Magnolia biondii. Aschantin has antiplasmodial, Ca2+-antagonistic, platelet activating factor-antagonistic, and chemopreventive activities. Aschantin is a mTOR kinase inhibitor. Aschantin is also an inhibitor of Cytochrome P450 and UGT enzyme.

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
