    Product Description

    Euscaphic acid is a triterpene that has been found in R. alceaefolius and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits the proliferation of CNE-1 and C666-1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells when used at concentrations of 5 and 10 µg/ml.1 Euscaphic acid inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50 = 35.9 µM) and α-glucosidase (IC50 = 24.9 µM).2 It reduces the production of nitric oxide (NO) and levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.3 Euscaphic acid (10 mg/kg) reduces serum IgE and IgG2a levels, ear tissue mast cell infiltration, and pruritis in a mouse model of difluoroethane- and 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene-induced atopic dermatitis.4
