Biochem/physiol Actions

Psoralidin is a furanocoumarin natural product used in Chinese medicine. Psoralidin, a PTP1B inhibitor, has been shown to have anticancer activity with a variety of mechanisms proposed. Psoralidin induces ROS generation in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells, leading to inhibition of cell proliferation. Psoralidin has been found to downregulate NOTCH1 signaling, causing growth arrest in both breast cancer stem cells and breast cancer cells.
