Descripción

Application

Anacardic acid has been used:

• as a histone acetylase (HAT) inhibitor to study its effects on rat cortical neurons
• as a positive control in acetylation assay in vitro
• as an acetylase inhibitor to study its effects on the ribonucleic acid export 1 (Rae-1) protein acetylation that was transfected in human embryonic kidney cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anacardic acid is a natural bioactive compound derived from the nutshell of Anacardium occidentale. It possesses anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-termite, and molluscicidales activities. Anacardic acid acts as a therapeutic agent against obesity, cancer, inflammatory disorders, and oxidative damage. It functions as an inhibitor of various enzymes such as lipoxygenase (LOX-1), xanthine oxidase, nuclear factor κ B (NFκB) kinase, tyrosinase, and ureases.

Anacardic acid is a HAT (Histone Acetyltransferase) inhibitor.
