Tryptanthrin is a plant alkaloid with anti-inflammatory and anti cancer activities.
Tryptanthrin is a plant alkaloid with anti-inflammatory and anti cancer activities. Tryptanthrin blocks leukotriene production in neutrophils and in whole blood assays, and in an in vivo rat pleurisy model. The compound also inhibits P-glycoprotein, and sensitizes resistant cancer cell lines to killing by cytotoxic agents.

Development of agents to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) is important in cancer chemotherapy. Up to date, few chemicals have been reported to down-regulate MDR1 gene expression. We evaluated the effect of tryptanthrin on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated MDR in a breast cancer
An HPLC method has been developed and validated for the quantification of the pharmacologically active principles tryptanthrin (1), 1,3-dihydro-3-[(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene]-2 H-indol-2-one (indolinone) (3), indirubin (4), alpha-linolenic acid (2), and indigo (5), an isomer of indirubin, in extracts from the traditional anti-inflammatory

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a nuclear receptor and transcriptional regulator with pleiotropic effects. The production of potent AhR ligands by Malassezia yeasts, such as indirubin, indolo[3,2-b]carbazole (ICZ), tryptanthrin and malassezin, has been associated with the pathogenesis of seborrhoeic
