Periplocin (Standard)

Periplocin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Periplocin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Periplocin is a cardiotonic steroid isolated from root-bark Periploca sepium Bunge. Periplocin promotes tumor cell apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth. Periplocin has the potential to facilitate wound healing through the activation of Src/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways mediated by Na/K-ATPase[1][2].
