MedChemExpress - Model Cucurbitacin B -6199-67-3
Cucurbitacin B belongs to a class of highly oxidized tetracyclic triterpenoids and is oral active. Cucurbitacin B inhibits tumor cell growth, migration and invasion and cycle arrest, but induces cell apoptosis. Cucurbitacin B has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective activity[1][2][3][4][5].MCE products for research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description：Cucurbitacin B belongs to a class of highly oxidized tetracyclic triterpenoids and is oral active. Cucurbitacin B inhibits tumor cell growth, migration and invasion and cycle arrest, but induces cell apoptosis. Cucurbitacin B has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective activity.
In Vitro：Cucurbitacin B (up to 40 μM, 12-48 h) inhibits the cell growth and arrests cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase in CCA cell lines [2]. Cucurbitacin B (0.1, 0.3 and 1 μM) increases the level of total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD) and SOD-1, but decrease the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in BY4741 yeast cells[3].
In Vivo：Cucurbitacin B (5 mg/kg, oral administration 10day) B shows protective effects against carrageenan-induced prostatitis in rats[4]. Cucurbitacin B (20-50 mg/kg for i.p., 28 day) B afford a decline in AD symptoms and protects neurons against STZ-ICV toxicity that improved memory functions in rats[5].
