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.

Norcantharidin (7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1] heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride) is the demethylated form of cantharidin. Norcantharidin not only has strong anticancer activity, but also eliminates most side-effects in the urinary system, does not cause myelosuppression and increases the number of white blood cells.
