Pseudolaric acid B, a natural diterpenoid compound, is isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi. It has shown antifungal, antifertility, and antiangiogenic properties. It also may exihibit anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
The pseudolaric acids are diterpenoids isolated from the root bark of Pseudolarix amabilis, or the golden larch. Pseudolaric acids A and B are the major antifungal and anti-angiogenic congeners of this family of compounds. This review presents the results of
To investigate the apoptotic mechanism of pseudolaric acid B (PAB) in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide analysis and morphological changes were applied to detect apoptosis. The percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells were calculated by the lactate
