Minnelide (Cat No.:I018728) is a synthetic prodrug derived from triptolide, a natural compound found in the Thunder God Vine. Minnelide has shown potent anticancer activity in preclinical studies, targeting multiple signaling pathways involved in cancer cell growth and survival. It has demonstrated efficacy against various cancer types, including pancreatic cancer, in both in vitro and in vivo models. Minnelide’s mechanism of action involves inhibiting NF-κB and HSP70, resulting in tumor cell death and suppression of tumor growth.
