Lucidone A Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Lucidone A is a lanostanoid isolated from the fruiting bodies of G. resinaceum. lucidone A showed inhibitory effects against the increase of ALT and AST levels in HepG2 cells induced by H2O2 compared to a control group in the range of their maximum non-toxic concentration (MNTC) [1].

Definition

ChEBI: Lucidone A is a 20-oxo steroid.
