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.

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

Tryptanthrins have potential therapeutic activity against a wide variety of pathogenic organisms, although little is known about their mechanism. Activity against Escherichia coli, however, has not been examined. The effects of tryptanthrin (indolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-6,12-dione) and nine derivatives on growth, survival, and
