| Bioactivity | Randialic acid A (Pomolic acid) is a pentacyclic triterpene isolated from Euscaphis japonica (Tunb.). Randialic acid A (Pomolic acid) inhibits tumor cells growth and induces cell apoptosis. Randialic acid A (Pomolic acid) has a potential for the treatment of prostate cancer (PC)[2]. |
| Invitro | Randialic acid A (Pomolic acid) induces apoptosis of GBM cells as demonstrated by DNA fragmentation. Pomolic acid-induced apoptosis is dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. It also induces uncoupling of mitochondria membrane potential and activation of caspase-3 and -9[2]. |
