Periplocin
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Periplocin is a cardiotonic steroid isolated from root-bark Periploca sepium Bunge. Periplocin promotes tumor cell apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth. Periplocin has the potential to facilitate wound healing through the activation of Src/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways mediated by Na/K-ATPase.
