Psoralidin / TumCG Cancer Research Results

PSO, Psoralidin: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Psoralidin is a prenylated coumestan isolated primarily from Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi). It is not a classical anticancer drug.
Psoralidin generally acts to suppress oncogenic signaling and survival pathways while promoting apoptosis in tumor cells.
Reported effects (context-dependent, preclinical):
-DOWNREGULATES pro-survival pathways (e.g., NF-κB, STAT3)
-UPREGULATES apoptotic signaling (caspase activation)
-MODULATES androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer models
-SENSITIZES tumor cells to chemo- and radio-induced stress

This positions psoralidin as a biologic modulator, not a driver.

Across cancer cell and animal models, psoralidin has been associated with:
-Apoptosis induction
  -Caspase activation
  -Mitochondrial depolarization
-Inflammatory pathway suppression
  -NF-κB inhibition
  -STAT3 attenuation
-Hormone signaling modulation
  -Androgen receptor suppression (prostate cancer context)
-Oxidative stress interaction
  -Redox imbalance tipping tumor cells toward death under stress

Psoralidin is best described as chemopreventive or chemo-sensitizing, not chemoprotective

Type:
Normal cells grow and divide in a regulated manner through the cell cycle, which consists of phases (G1, S, G2, and M).
Cancer cells often bypass these regulatory mechanisms, leading to uncontrolled proliferation. This can result from mutations in genes that control the cell cycle, such as oncogenes (which promote cell division) and tumor suppressor genes (which inhibit cell division).
