Product Description: Cimicifugoside, a triterpenoid isolated from Cimicifuga simplex, is a novel specific nucleoside transport inhibitor that displays synergistic potentiation of methotrexate cytotoxicity[1]. Cimicifugoside shows immunosuppressive activity, which is preferentially directed toward B-cell function with larger doses being required for suppression of T-cell function[2].
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C37H54O11
