General description
Norcantharidin (NCTD) is a demethylated derivative of cantharidin (CTD).
Application
Norcantharidin has been used in primary cell culture and treatment. It has also been used to treat mice inoculated with Huh7 cells subcutaneously.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Norcantharidin is a potential antitumor agent. Norcantharidin helps to block SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cell growth by stimulating autophagy and apoptosis.
