Dehydroleucodine

Dehydroleucodine has antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, embryotoxicity, gastric cytoprotective, anti-cancer activities. Dehydroleucodine has an important inhibitory effect in cellular pathways regulating adipocyte differentiation by modulating the PPARγ expression, which is known to play a pivotal role during adipogenesis. Dehydroleucodine may be attributed to interference with multiple targets on the level of transcription factors, such as NF-kappaB, and cytokines. Dehydroleucodine induces a TP73-dependent transcriptional regulation of multiple cell death target genes in human glioblastoma cells.
