Physcion
Physcion (Parietin), an anthraquinone derivative derived from the traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb, is an effective oral active 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase inhibitor with blood-brain barrier permeability, with IC50 and Kd values of 38.5 μM and 26.0 μM, respectively. Additionally, Physcion is an inhibitor of the bTLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer effects, and can induce Apoptosis and Autophagy in cancer cells[1][2][3][4][5].
