Application

(−)-Deguelin has been used as:
  • a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH) dehydrogenase (Complex I) inhibitor to study its effects on mitochondrial respiratory inhibition in human hepatocarcinoma cells (HepG2) and human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTECs)
  • an antiviral compound to study inhibitory effects on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells
  • an analytical standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Deguelin is a natural rotenoid compound present abundantly in barks, leaves, seeds, and roots of the plants belonging to the Leguminosae family. Deguelin has been studied as a therapeutic agent against the skin, lung cancer, and mammary tumorigenesis.
Inhibitor of activated Akt. Does not affect MAPK, ERK1/2, or JNK. Anticancer, chemoprotective agent.
