Taxodione（Cat No.:M084992） is a natural diterpenoid compound isolated from the heartwood of the Texas cedar, Juniperus ashei. It belongs to the class of quinone methide triterpenes, recognized for their distinct chemical structure and biological activity. Taxodione exhibits potent anticancer properties, primarily through its ability to inhibit topoisomerase II, an enzyme crucial for DNA replication and cell division. This makes it a promising candidate for cancer research, aiming to develop new therapeutic agents. Additionally, taxodione has shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, further underscoring its potential in pharmaceutical applications.
