Brazilin
Brazilin is a organic heterotetracyclic compound that is a red pigment obtained from the wood of Caesalpinia echinata (Brazil-wood) or Caesalpinia sappan (sappan-wood). It has a role as a plant metabolite, a histological dye, an antineoplastic agent, a biological pigment, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inducer, an antioxidant, an antibacterial agent, a NF-kappaB inhibitor and a hepatoprotective agent. It is an organic heterotetracyclic compound, a member of catechols and a tertiary alcohol. Brazilin is a natural product found in Guilandina bonduc, Biancaea decapetala, and other organisms with data available. A organic heterotetracyclic compound that is a red pigment obtained from the wood of Caesalpinia echinata (Brazil-wood) or Caesalpinia sappan (sappan-wood). Brazilin is a red dye precursor obtained from the heartwood of several species of tropical hardwoods. Brazilin inhibits the cells proliferation, promotes apoptosis, and induces autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR pathway. Brazilin shows chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2][3].
