Active constituent of Cnidium monnieri, a traditional Chinese medicine used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-lipedemic activities. Dramatically decreased lipid accumulation in a quail model. Its neuroprotective effect on MPP(+)-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells supports the use of osthole as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Suppression of fatty acid synthase expression in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells indicates osthole as a promising agent for chemotherapy.

Osthole, the main bioactive compounds isolated from the traditional Chinese medical herb broad Cnidium monnieri (L.) cusson, has been shown to exert spectrum of pharmacologic activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential neuroprotective effects of osthole
Osthole, a coumarin derivative, has been used in Chinese medicine and studies have suggested a potential use in treatment of diabetes and cancers. Therefore, we investigated the effects of osthole and other coumarins on GLUT1 activity in two cell lines
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Although, recently, the number of pathological studies of breast cancer have increased, it is necessary to identify a novel compound that targets
Lipopolysaccharydes (LPS) are responsible for the intestinal inflammatory reaction, as they may disrupt tight junctions and induce cytokines (CKs) secretion. Osthole has a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects, thus its anti-inflammatory potential in the LPS-treated Caco-2 cell line as well

To investigate the effect of osthole on bone metabolism in rat femoral tissues in vitro. The rat femoral tissues were isolated in vitro. The optimal concentrations of ostehole (1×10(-5) mol/L) and estradiol (1×10(-8) mol/L) (the positive control) were selected by
Fatty acid synthesis supports cancer cell proliferation, essential for membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetics.
