521-65-3
Chemical Structure
Swerchirin
- CAS No.: 521-65-3
- Formula:C15H12O6
- Molecular Weight:288.25
IUPAC Name: 1,8-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-9H-xanthen-9-one
InChIKey: GNSHHHWDGOHNPC-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: O=C1C2=C(C=C(C=C2O)OC)OC3=C1C(O)=CC=C3OC
Biological Activity: Swerchirin is an orally active, plant-derived xanthone that acts as an inhibitor of the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway. Swerchirin downregulates the expression of phosphorylated MEK and phosphorylated ERK, induces mitochondrial apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, regulates Bcl-2 family proteins, triggers cytochrome c release, activates caspases, and drives PARP cleavage. Swerchirin reduces blood glucose levels in rat models under fasting, fed, glucose-loaded conditions, and following treatment with Tolbutamide (HY-B0401). Swerchirin can be used in research related to ovarian cancer, liver injury, and diabetes[1][2][3].
