Description
Hyptadienic acid exhibits moderate cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells.
Hyptadienic acid shows a marked anti-inflammatory effect, it also exhibits strong antitumor-promoting activity in an in vivo two-stage carcinogenesis test of mouse tumor by using 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) as an initiator and TPA as a promoter.
Uses
Hyptadienic acid is a triterpene acid that can be isolated from the leaves of Perilla frutescens. Hyptadienic acid inhibits 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice with an ID50 value of 0.13 mg/ear. Hyptadienic acid can be used for the research of inflammation[1].
