Chemical. CAS: 961-29-5. Formula: C15H12O4. MW: 256.3. Synthetic. Originally isolated from Glycyrriza sp. Anticancer. Apoptosis inducer and cell proliferation inhibitor. Autophagy inducer. Anti-angiogenic. VEGF/VEGFR-2 signaling inhibitor. Antioxidant and antibacterial. AMPK-mediated GSK3beta inhibitor. Anti-inflammatory. Inhibits translocation and activation of NF-kappaB by blocking phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of IkappaBalpha. Downregulates TRIF-dependent signaling pathways of TLRs by inhibiting TBK1 kinase activity. Blocks LPS-induced TLR4/MD2 complex signaling. NLRP3 inflammasome activation inhibitor. Inhibits NLRP3-activated ASC oligomerization. Can block the NLRP3 inflammasome at both the priming step and the activation step. H(2) histamine receptor signaling inhibitor. Anti-diabetic. Antihyperglycemic. Aldose reductase inhibitor. Vasorelaxant. Soluble guanylyl cyclase activator. GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator.
