Pseudolaric acid B

Pseudolaric acid B (PAB), which comes from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon, has diverse effects that are relevant to cancer therapy, including apoptosis of cancer cells (IC50 = ~1 μM), preventing angiogenesis, and inhibiting tumor growth in vivo. pseudolaric acid B can trigger apoptosis by decreasing Bcl-2 levels and activating caspase-3 protease. The future development of PAB as a cancer therapeutic is ongoing. Besides, PAB significantly suppressed proliferation of DU145 cells in a dose-dependent manner without obvious cytotoxicity. PAB may inhibit growth of HRPC DU145 cells and induce apoptosis through ROS generation and Bcl-2 degradation via the activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
