Descriptions:
Chrysophanol has anti-inflammatory activity through the suppression of NF-κB/caspase-1 activation in vitro and in vivo.[1]
Chrysophanol induces necrosis through the production of ROS and alteration of ATP levels in J5 human liver cancer cells.[2]
Chrysophanol has mild cytotoxicity and anti-diabetic properties, it up to 100 microM exerts mild glucose transport activity and elevates the tyrosine phosphorylation of IR via tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition (IC50=79.86+/-0.12 microM), thus it could play metabolic roles in the insulin-stimulated glucose transport pathway.[3]
Chrysophanol and physcion, are main active compounds of the plant Baill, has is active against plant powdery mildew, and physcion is much more bioactive than chrysophanol against these powdery mildews.[4]
Chrysophanol can inhibit NALP3 inflammasome activation and ameliorate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in mice.[5]
