Gambogic acid (1) is a cytotoxic caged xanthone derived from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi. Compound 1 selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells, at least partially, by targeting the stress response to reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the molecular mechanism

Gambogic acid (GBA) targeted Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and prohibited TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway. It can be inferred that the anti-inflammatory activity of GBA results from inhibiting the cytokine production via NF-κB signaling pathway. We used the RAW264.7 cell line
The natural product gambogic acid exhibits high potency in inhibiting cancer cell lines. Rational medicinal modifications on gambogic acid will improve its physicochemical properties and drug-like characters. To investigate the structure-activity relationship of gambogic acid and also to find rational
Gambogic acid (GA) is the main active ingredient of gamboge, a brownish to orange dry resin secreted from Garcinia hanburyi, a plant that is widely distributed in nature. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that GA exerts
