A carbazole alkaloid; active against S. aureus and S. pyogenes (MIC100 = 50 µg/ml for both); induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis in Capan-2 and SW1190 cancer cells at 7 µM, as well as inhibits proliferation in Capan-2, SW1190, BxPC-3, CFPAC-1, and HPAF-II cancer cells (IC50s = 3.5, 3.5, 16, 64, and 32 µM, respectively); decreases body weight gain without affecting food intake and reduces increases in plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced obesity at 30 mg/kg
