Ent-11alpha-Hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid has anti-cancer activity, it induces apoptosis of human malignant cancer cells, it also inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo via stabilizing IkBα.
ent-16-Kaurene-3beta,15beta,18-triol, ent-16-kaurene-3beta,15beta-diol,abbeokutone,and helioscopinolide A possess appreciable anti-allergic activities in RBL-2H3 cells model with IC50 values ranging from 22.5 to 42.2 microM.
16-Hydroxycleroda-3,13-dien-15,16-olide, and prodigiosin are presented as candidates for autophagy inducers that can trigger cell death in a supplement or alternative medicine for cancer therapy. 16-Hydroxycleroda-3,13-dien-15,16-olide regulates the expre
16-epiLatrunculin B, a stereoisomer of the actin polymerization inhibitor latrunculin B, was initially isolated from the Red Sea sponge N. magnifica. At concentrations of 5-10 µg/ml, it disrupts microfilament activity in actin disruption assays and exhibits cytotoxic effects on mouse KA31T and NIH3T3 tumor cells, with GI50 values of 1 and 4 µg/ml, respectively. Furthermore, it shows antiviral activity against herpes simplex type 1 virus, with an ED50 of 1 µg/ml.
