Dendrogenin A (DDA) is a ligand for liver X receptor (LXR), that induces the expression of sodium/iodine symporter, and increases iodine uptake. Dendrogenin A induces cell differentiation of MCF-7, and reactivates the function of lactating cells. Dendrogenin A induces the expressions of the TSH receptor, thyroid peroxidase, and thyroglobulin, and affects thyroid hormone generation. Dendrogenin A exhibits cytotoxicity in cancer cell B-CPAP and 8505c with IC50 of 4.1 and 6.2 μM. Dendrogenin A arrests the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase[1].
