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
