Falcarinol  (Synonyms: Panaxynol; Carotatoxin)

Falcarinol (Panaxynol) is a natural, orally active Hsp90 inhibitor targeting both the N-terminal and C-terminal of Hsp90 with limited toxicities. Falcarinol (Panaxynol) induces apoptosis^[1]. Falcarinol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

Panaxynol inhibits the sphere-forming ability of NSCLC CSCs by inducing apoptosis. Panaxynol suppresses the viability of NSCLC cells with no effects on normal cells^[1].
