Biological Activity
Arctiin has shown to be a suppressor of cyclin D1 protein expression in multiple types of human tumor cells, such as osteosarcoma, lung, colorectal, cervical, breast, melanoma, and 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 inflammation, by preventing the release of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, TNF-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 cells, such as osteosarcoma, lung, colorectal, cervical, breast, melanoma, and prostate cancer.
