Esculentoside B  (Synonyms: Phytolaccoside B)

Esculentoside B (Phytolaccoside B) is a natural product from the roots of Phytolacca acinosa Roxb. Esculentoside B is neurotoxic to zebrafish larvae, and impairs their central nervous system development. Esculentoside B inhibits inflammatory response and has antifungal activity^[1][2][3].
