Cubebin
Cubebin ((-)-Cubebin), a dibenzyl butyrolactone lignan, is an orally active AChE inhibitor. Cubebin binds to active sites of NF-κB, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 via hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions, obstructing critical residues to inhibit pro-inflammatory or renal fibrosis-related activity. Cubebin enhances p38 MAPK phosphorylation to increase tyrosinase gene expression, stimulating melanogenesis via elevated tyrosinase activity, expression, and mRNA levels. Cubebin reduces oxidative stress via enhanced endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibited lipid peroxidation, regulates lipid metabolism, improves glycemic control, and exerts renoprotective effects via reduced renal dysfunction markers and improved renal architecture. Cubebin shows antimicrobial activity. Cubebin exerts larvicidal activity against Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae, with no cytotoxicity toward monkey or human cell lines or Caenorhabditis elegans. Cubebin can be used for the research of diabetic nephropathy, melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, neuroangiostrongyliasis, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and depression.

Cubebin (10 μM; 2-12 h) significantly enhances p38 MAPK phosphorylation at 4-8 h, with no impact on ERK1/2 or p70 S6K1 phosphorylation in murine B16 melanoma cells[3].
Cubebin (2.8-280 μM; 24-72 h) is non-cytotoxic to HT29 cells at 2.8 and 28 μM for 24, 48, or 72 h, but induces significant cytotoxicity (≈50% viability reduction at 24 h) at 280 μM for 24, 48, or 72 h[4].
Cubebin (50-200 μM; 24 h) shows no cytotoxicity toward Vero monkey kidney epithelial cells or HaCaT human keratinocytes at concentrations up to 200 μM, resulting in high selectivity indices against Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae[5].
