Eucalbanin B

Eucalbanin B (Cornusiin A) is a dimeric tannic acid. Eucalbanin B inhibits 5α-reductase and reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) . Eucalbanin B has anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit the production of key pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, TNF-α) . Eucalbanin B has a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) cell lines and can induce apoptosis in BPH cells. Eucalbanin B can be used for research on BPH[1][2].
