ChEBI: Arctiin is a glycoside and a lignan.

Arctiin has shown to be a suppressor of cyclin D1 protein expression in multiple types of human tumor cellssuch as osteosarcomalungcolorectalcervicalbreastmelanomaand prostate cancer. Arctiin has also shown antiviral activity against influenza A when used alone or in combination with oseltamivir. Arctiin plays an important role in the process of inflammationby preventing the release of nitric oxideprostaglandin E2TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor - α)interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. A study using r at model shows th at arctiin possess anti-diabetic activity and might serve as an inhibitor of diabetic retinopathy.''Arctiin has shown to be a suppressor of cyclin D1 protein expression in multiple types of human tumor cellssuch as osteosarcomalungcolorectalcervicalbreastmelanomaand prostate cancer.
