4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one（Cat No.:M140256）is a naturally occurring β-carboline alkaloid found in various plant species, particularly within the Simaroubaceae and Rutaceae families. It exhibits diverse pharmacological properties, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities. The presence of methoxy groups at the 4 and 5 positions enhances its lipophilicity and bioactivity. 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one has shown the ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, often by modulating signaling pathways and interfering with DNA replication. Its broad-spectrum bioactivity makes it a promising compound for further research in oncology, infectious diseases, and natural product-based drug development.
