Jolkinolide B
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Jolkinolide B is a bioactive diterpene isolated from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud with oral activity. Jolkinolide B downregulates XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2, and phosphorylated Akt, upregulates Smac, activates caspase-3 and caspase-9, and inhibits NF-κB, TGFβ/smad3 and JAK/STAT3 pathways. Jolkinolide B exerts comprehensive biological effects including inducing cancer cell apoptosis, suppressing inflammatory responses, improving lung function, alleviating hepatic steatosis and eliminating intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Jolkinolide B can be used for the research of leukemia, histiocytic lymphoma, asthma, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and tuberculosis.

Jolkinolide B (25-100 μg/mL, 24-72 h) reduces viability and induces dose‑ and time‑dependent apoptosis in human leukemic U937 cells. It markedly activates caspase‑3 and caspase‑9, and inhibition of PI3K or XIAP further enhances both apoptosis and caspase activation[1].
Jolkinolide B (50 μg/mL) induces apoptosis in human leukemic U937 cells and time-dependently modulates apoptosis-related proteins and mRNAs by downregulating phosphorylated Akt, Survivin, XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2 and upregulating Smac[1].
Jolkinolide B (1, 5, 10 μM; 24 h) attenuates PA-induced lipotoxicity in mouse primary hepatocytes and Hep3B cells, and 10 μM can restore the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in primary hepatocytes to normal[3].
Jolkinolide B (10 μM, 24 h) ameliorates
Palmitic acid (HY-N0830)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, hepatic steatosis and inflammation in mouse primary hepatocytes and Hep3B cells via inhibiting JAK/STAT3 signaling and regulating downstream lipid synthesis and inflammatory gene expression[3].

Jolkinolide B (3-12 μg/mL; 8 days) inhibits the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra in 7H9 broth in a concentration- and time-dependent manner over 8 days[4].
Jolkinolide B (3-6 μg/mL; 2 days) exhibits significant intracellular bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra in RAW264.7 macrophages at MOI 5:1 and 10:1[4].
Jolkinolide B (6 μg/mL; 24 h) alters the morphology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, causing bacilli to become shorter and deformed after 24 hours of treatment[4].
Jolkinolide B (6 μg/mL; 24 h) alters the transcriptome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra after 24 hours of treatment, significantly down-regulating 17 ribosomal protein genes and enriching ribosome-related pathways[4].
Jolkinolide B (3-6 μg/mL; 24 h) down-regulates the expression of 50S and 30S ribosomal protein genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra[4].
Jolkinolide B (3-6 μg/mL; 2 days) reduces the number of GFP-expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra in RAW264.7 macrophages[4].
