2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde 

2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde is an orally active NF-ĸB inhibitor. 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde shows anti-tumor activity, anti-cancer cell proliferative activity and anti-obesity activity^[1][2][3].

2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde inhibits adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells^[1].
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde down-regulates PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c, and FAS protein expression levels^[1].
