 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 Rocaglamide is an anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, and anticancer tetrahydrobenzofuran isolated from Aglaia species. It has been shown to inhibit both TNF-α and the activation of NF-κB in Jurkat T cells with IC50 values in the nanomolar range.1 At 25 nM, rocaglamide induces apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines, activating p38 MAPK/JNK and suppressing ERK.2 Rocaglamide also reduces IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-4 production in peripheral blood T cells at a concentration of 50 nM.3 Furthermore, rocaglamide can inhibit the T cell expression of the immune response transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells.3
 |  | [Uses] 
 Rocaglamide is derived from a Chinese medicinal plant Aglaia. Rocaglamide induces apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines and in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia cells freshly isolated from patients.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]cyclopenta[d]furan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 1 and 8b, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 8, a 4-methoxyphenyl group at
position 3a, a phenyl group at position 3 and a N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group at position 1. Isolated from Aglaia odorata and Aglaia duperreana, it exhibits antineoplastic activity.
 |  | [General Description] 
 
 Rocaglamide is known to be derived from tetrahydro benzofuran and is also an active chemical compound of Aglaia plants. |  | [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.
