What is Ingenol?

Description

Ingenol is a diterpenoid related to phorbol, derived from the milkweed plant E. peplus. It is a protein kinase C activator that displays a K_i value of 30 μM and an ED₅₀ value of 27 μM in vitro. Most ingenol esters are tumor-promoting. However, ingenol mebutate possesses anti-tumor activity when used topically for actinic keratosis.

The Uses of Ingenol

Ingenol, is the analogue of Ingenol 3-Angelate (I655800), which has anti-tumor activity when used topically for the treatment of actinic keratosis.

What are the applications of Application

Ingenol is a weak protein kinase C activator
