Norartocarpetin is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor (IC50 = 0.47 μM) and can act as an antibrowning agent in food research. It shows significant anticancer activity in lung carcinoma cells (NCI-H460, IC50 = 22 μM), mediating antiproliferative effects via the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway, mitochondrial apoptosis, S-phase cell cycle arrest, and suppression of cell migration/invasion.
