Physcion-1-O-²-D-glucoside

Description:
Physcion-1-O-²-D-glucoside is a natural product that has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by triggering apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Physcion-1-O-²-D-glucoside has also been shown to inhibit tumour growth in animal models and reduce the size of tumours in mice with implanted human xenografts. This compound is a potent inhibitor of paclitaxel resistance, which is an important factor in cancer chemotherapy. The mechanism of action for this compound has not yet been elucidated, but it has been suggested that it may interfere with the process of cell division through interference with microtubule formation or mitotic spindle function.
