Tambulin
Tambulin is an orally active flavonol compound found in Zanthoxylum armatum. Tambulin can inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and inhibit ROS production. Tambulin upregulates cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, and Bax, downregulates Bcl-2 levels. Tambulin can stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion and induce endothelium-independent vasorelaxation. Tambulin binds to succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) (Ki = 11.02 μM) and shows significant ferric reducing power. Tambulin can enhances oxidative stress resistance, reduces, lipofuscin deposits, lipid levels, α-synuclein levels, improves locomotary behavior, and dopamine levels in in age-synchronized L1 hermaphrodite Caenorhabditis elegans models of ageing and Parkinson's disease. Tambulin can be used for the researches of Parkinson's disease, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and diabetes.

Tambulin (5-80 μg/mL; 12-48 h) inhibits proliferation of H226 and H520 LSCC cells[2].
Tambulin (40 μg/mL) induces apoptosis of H226 and H520 LSCC cells, an effect attenuated by HDAC1 overexpression[2].
Tambulin (40 μg/mL) reduces HDAC1 and Bcl-2 expression and increases cleaved-caspase-3, 9 and Bax levels in H226 and H520 LSCC cells, effects reversed by HDAC1 overexpression[2].

Tambulin (1-10 μM; 30 min) inhibits concentration-dependent contractions induced by KCl, 5-HT, CaCl2, and U46619 (HY-108566)[4].
Tambulin (1 μM; 30 min) does not affect endothelium relaxations induced by Bradykinin (HY-P0206), A23187, potassium channel activators Levcromakalim (HY-14255) and 1-EBIO (HY-101360) and NO-independent sGC activators YC-1 (HY-14927) and BAY 41-2272 (HY-12376)[4].
Tambulin (10-50 μg/mL; 24 h) exhibits antiproliferative activity against multiple cancer and keratinocyte cell lines[5].
Tambulin potently interacts with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) (Ki = 11.02 μM)[5].
Tambulin (10-50 μg/mL) shows significant ferric reducing power[5].
