Orsellinic acid
Benzoic Acid Derivative
Orsellinic acid is a benzoic acid derivative known for its ability to inhibit PAF-mediated apoptosis by blocking caspase-3/7 activation and preventing PARP cleavage. This compound has demonstrated significant biological activity and is relevant in cellular research, particularly in the study of neuronal cells and various tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and pancreatic cancer. Orsellinic acid is isolated from the fungus Chaetomium globosum, making it a valuable reagent for investigating pathways associated with cell death and cancer biology.
