colocynthin Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Cucurbitacin E 2-O-Glucoside is a metabolite of Cucurbitacin E (C838800), a highly oxidated steroid consisting of a tetracyclic triterpene. Cucurbitacin E is known to possess broad spectrum of potential anti-inflammatory, antitumor andantioxidant effects.

Definition

ChEBI: Cucurbitacin E 2-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a triterpenoid saponin that is cucurbitacin E attached to a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 2 via a glycosidic linkage. Isolated from Machilus yaoshansis it exhibits antineoplastic activity. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an antineoplastic agent. It is a cucurbitacin, a beta-D-glucoside, a monosaccharide derivative, a triterpenoid saponin, an acetate ester and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is functionally related to a cucurbitacin E.
