Description and Uses

Withaferin A (5119-48-2) displays potent antiangiogenesis activity inhibiting endothelial cell sprouting in vitro?(IC50?= 12 nM) and?in vivo.1?Potently inhibits NF-κB activation by preventing TNFα-induced activation of IKKβ.2?Covalently binds to the intermediate filament protein, vimentin3?inducing its disassembly and serine 56 phosphorylation4. Inhibits reactive gliosis and blocks TNFα-mediated neuronal apoptosis in?in vivo?models.5

Withaferin A is a promising anticancer constituent of Ayurvedic medicinal plant Withania somnifera. Withaferin A showed potent cytotoxicity against human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (JMAR and MDA-1986). Withaferin A has recently been found to be a leptin sensitizer that can reduce the weight in obese mice fed in a high-fat diet (see C249500).
