Biochem/physiol Actions

Garcinol is a HAT (histone acetyltransferase) inhibitor. Garcinol is anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic. Histone acetyltransferases provide opposing enzymatic mechanisms for chromatin remodeling and epigenetic control of gene expression. HATs are involved in regulation of transformation, transcription, differentiation, apoptosis, embryonic development and oncogenesis. IC50 p300 = 7 mM; IC50 PCAF = 5 mM (similar to anacardic acid). Garcinol is highly toxic compared to LTK-14, and does not discriminate between p300 and PCAF.

Anticancer properties of Garcinia indica-derived garcinol are just beginning to be elucidated. We have earlier reported its cancer cell-specific induction of apoptosis in breast cancer cells, which was mediated through the downregulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. To gain further mechanistic

Histone acetylation has recently been implicated in learning and memory processes, yet necessity of histone acetylation for such processes has not been demonstrated using pharmacological inhibitors of histone acetyltransferases (HATs). As such, the present study tested whether garcinol, a potent

Garcinol, obtained from Garcinia indica, has exhibited some promising anticancer activity. In particular, our earlier work has demonstrated its ability to inhibit cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines representative of breast, prostate, as well as
