6-Deoxyjacareubin is a natural xanthone, that can be isolated from the leaves of Vismia latifolia. 6-Deoxyjacareubin protects against non-apoptotic cell death by inhibiting ROS production. 6-Deoxyjacareubin ameliorates neurodegeneration in a mouse model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)[1].

ChEBI: 6-Deoxyjacareubin is a member of pyranoxanthones.
