Embelin
Embelin (Embelic acid), a potent, nonpeptidic XIAP inhibitor (IC50=4.1 μM), inhibits cell growth, induces apoptosis, and activates caspase-9 in prostate cancer cells with high levels of XIAP. Embelin blocks NF-kappaB signaling pathway leading to suppression of NF-kappaB-regulated antiapoptotic and metastatic gene products. Embelin also induces autophagic and apoptotic cell death in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells[1][2][3].

5-O-Methylembelin
5-O-Methylembelin is a constituent of Myrsine africana (cape myrtle). Constituent of Myrsine africana (cape myrtle) 5-O-Methylembelin is a natural isocoumarin that inhibits PCSK9, inducible degrader of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (IDLR), and sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2) mRNA expression[1].
Rapanone
Rapanone is a member of dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinones. Rapanone is a natural product found in Badula barthesia, Ardisia crenata, and other organisms with data available. Rapanone is a natural benzoquinone. Rapanone exhibits a broad spectrum of biological actions, including anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiparasitic. Rapanone also is a potent and selective human synovial PLA2 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 2.6 μM[1][2][3][4]. Rapanone is a natural benzoquinone.

Embelin
Embelin is a member of the class of dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinones that is 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone which is substituted by an undecyl group at position 3. Isolated from Lysimachia punctata and Embelia ribes, it exhibits antimicrobial, antineoplastic and inhibitory activity towards hepatitis C protease. It has a role as a hepatitis C protease inhibitor, an antimicrobial agent, an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. Embelin is a natural product found in Ardisia paniculata, Embelia tsjeriam-cottam, and other organisms with data available.

5-O-Methylembelin
5-O-methyl embelin is a member of the class of monohydroxy-1,4-benzoquinones that is embelin in which the hydroxy group at position 5 is replaced by a methoxy group. Isolated from Lysimachia punctata and Embelia ribes, it exhibits antileishmanial activity as well as inhibitory activity towards hepatitis C protease. It has a role as a metabolite, a hepatitis C protease inhibitor, an antileishmanial agent and an antineoplastic agent. It is an enol ether and a member of monohydroxy-1,4-benzoquinones. It is functionally related to an embelin. 5-O-Methylembelin is a natural product found in Lysimachia punctata, Embelia schimperi, and other organisms with data available. 5-O-Methylembelin is a constituent of Myrsine africana (cape myrtle).
