Biological Activity

Sphaerobiosideμs mode of action includes the inhibition of multiple enzymes and signaling pathways. It has been observed to suppress the activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme pivotal in the inflammatory response. Additionally, Sphaerobioside hinders the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-KB), a transcription factor th at plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation and the immune response. It can also trigger apoptosis and hinder cell proliferation in multiple cancer cell lines, as well as exhibit neuroprotective qualities, showing promise in enhancing cognitive function in animal models of Alzheimerμs disease.
