Trip, triptolide: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Triptolide is a diterpenoid triepoxide primarily isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (commonly known as Thunder God Vine).

Pathways:
-Activation of caspases (key executioners of apoptosis)
-Disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential
-Cell Cycle Arrest
-Suppresses expression of c-myc and mitochondrial hexokinase II (HK-II) in cancer cells

Type:
The selectivity of cancer products (such as chemotherapeutic agents, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and novel cancer drugs) refers to their ability to affect cancer cells preferentially over normal, healthy cells. High selectivity is important because it can lead to better patient outcomes by reducing side effects and minimizing damage to normal tissues.

Achieving high selectivity in cancer treatment is crucial for improving patient outcomes. It relies on pinpointing molecular differences between cancerous and normal cells, designing drugs or delivery systems that exploit these differences, and overcoming intrinsic challenges like tumor heterogeneity and resistance

Factors that affect selectivity:
1. Ability of Cancer cells to preferentially absorb a product/drug
-EPR-enhanced permeability and retention of cancer cells
-nanoparticle formations/carriers may target cancer cells over normal cells
-Liposomal formations. Also negatively/positively charged affects absorbtion

2. Product/drug effect may be different for normal vs cancer cells
- hypoxia
- transition metal content levels (iron/copper) change probability of fenton reaction.
- pH levels
- antiOxidant levels and defense levels

3. Bio-availability
