Cucurbitacin D
Cucurbitacin D is a bioactive triterpenoid from Ecballium elaterium with demonstrated anticancer properties. It inhibits proliferation and metabolic pathways in various cancer cell lines, including prostate, liver, and leukemia models, by targeting key signaling cascades such as JAK/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt. This compound also acts as a novel inflammasome activator in macrophages, making it a valuable tool for oncology and immunology research.
