General description

Rocaglamide is known to be derived from tetrahydro benzofuran and is also an active chemical compound of Aglaia plants.

Application

Rocaglamide has been used as an anticancer drug to treat enterovirus 71 neuropathogenesis and to study the role of prohibitin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rocaglamide is a potent anticancer agent isolated from the genus Aglaia. Rocaglamides inhibit protein synthesis without affecting DNA or RNA synthesis. Recent study shows that Rocaglamide binds to prohibitin (PHB) 1 and 2, which prevents interaction between PHB and CRaf and inhibits CRaf activation and subsequently CRaf-MEK-ERK signaling. Also, Rocaglamide is an immunosuppressant that inhibits activation of NF-kB and NF-AT.
Rocaglamide is a potent anticancer agent.
Rocaglamide is associated with osteoblast differentiation. In rheumatoid arthritis, rocaglamide might suppress inflammation, by preventing the expression of cytokines involved in it.
