Embelin
Embelin, also known as embelic acid, is a natural compound derived from Ardisia japonica that acts as an inhibitor of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) with an IC50 of 4.1 μM. This small molecule is utilized in biochemical research to study apoptosis mechanisms and has been investigated in both cellular and animal models for its potential in oncology research.
