Application

Cardamonin has been used as a glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor to study its effects on β-catenin loss and gain-of-function in human preimplantation embryos.
Cardamonin has been used as a standard in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze phenolic compounds in acacia honey samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cardamonin is a calchone from Aplinia species (zingiberaceous plant species). Cardamonin inhibits pigmentation in melanocytes through suppression of Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway. Cardamonin suppressed Wnt/b-catenin signaling by a mechanism involving proteasome-mediated degradation of b-catenin (GSK-3b-independent pathway). Research has shown that Cardamonin possesses anti-inflammatory activity via suppression of NF-kB nuclear translocation and Ik-Ba phosphorylation.

Background and Objectives: Gouty arthritis is an acute inflammatory response caused by the precipitation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints. The triggering of MSU leads to increased production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β, which in turn lead to
