Target |
IC50: 0.1 μM (mushroom tyrosinase)[1]
|
In Vitro |
Kurarinol manifests relatively low cytotoxic activity (EC50>30 μM)[1]. Kurarinol inhibits production of melanin in S. bikiniensis without affecting the growth of microorganism[1]. Kurarinol induces hepatocellular carcinoma cell apoptosis through suppressing cellular signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling (STAT3)[2].
|
In Vivo |
Kurarinol (20 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; for 3 days) reduced serum lipid levels in high-Cholesterol diet induced hyperlipidemic rats[3]. Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (120-130g), hypercholesterolemic models[3] Dosage: 20 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration, daily, for 3 days Result: Decreased serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels.
