Pachymic acid / ATP Cancer Research Results

PA, Pachymic acid: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Pachymic acid is a lanostane-type triterpenoid predominantly extracted from the sclerotium of the fungus Poria cocos (also known as Fu Ling in Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Pachymic acid (PA) is a triterpene found in Poria, and molecular docking revealed that PA has a much higher affinity for HK II than G6P (molecular docking scores of 8.18 and 5.31, respectively)

Type:
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
Cellular ATP levels are critical for cell survival, and several reports have shown that reductions in cellular ATP levels can lead to apoptosis and other types of cell death in cancer cells, depending on the level of depletion.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is one of the main biochemical components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), where it can promote tumor progression or tumor suppression depending on its concentration and on the specific ecto-nucleotidases and receptors expressed by immune and cancer cells.

Cancer cells, unlike normal cells, derive as much as 60% of their ATP from glycolysis via the “Warburg effect”, and the remaining 40% is derived from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
