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.

International journal of nanomedicine, 7, 1819-1827 (2012-05-24)
In this paper, two novel liver-targeting nanoparticles, norcantharidin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (NCTD-CS-NPs) and norcantharidin-associated galactosylated chitosan nanoparticles (NCTD-GC-NPs), were prepared using ionic cross-linkage. The physical properties, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, and drug release characteristics of the nanoparticles were investigated in vitro.

Cantharidin (1) and norcantharidin (2) display high levels of anticancer activity against a broad range of tumour cell lines. Synthetic manipulation of norcantharidin yields (3S,3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-3-hydroxyhexahydro-4,7-epoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (3), which also displays a high level of anticancer activity against tumour cells but interestingly
