    Product Description

    Ingenol is a diterpenoid related to phorbol, derived from the milkweed plant E. peplus.1 It is a protein kinase C activator that displays a Ki value of 30 μM and an ED50 value of 27 μM in vitro.2,3 Most ingenol esters are tumor-promoting.4 However, ingenol mebutate possesses anti-tumor activity when used topically for actinic keratosis.5

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
