A lignan with diverse biological activities
Galgravin is a lignan that has been found in N. megapotamica and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It inhibits the binding of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to isolated rabbit platelet plasma membranes (IC50 = 4.5 ?M).1 Galgravin (3-100 ?M) inhibits osteoclast formation induced by RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages.2 It protects against cytotoxicity induced by human amyloid-β (25-35) (Aβ (25-35); Item No. 24155) in primary rat hippocampal neurons when used at a concentration of 10 ?M.3 Galgravin (20 mg/kg) reduces acetic acid-induced abdominal constrictions in mice and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats.4
