Hedragonic acid

Description:
Hedragonic acid is a natural triterpene that has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in vitro. It inhibits cell growth by inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells and inducing apoptosis. Hedragonic acid also increases insulin sensitivity, which may be due to its effects on inflammation and oxidative stress. This compound has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Hedragonic acid has potential as a treatment for cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, due to its ability to modulate receptor ligands that are involved in these pathologies.
