Product Description: Ferruginol ((+)-Ferruginol), a natural diterpenoid, is an inhibitor of the activation of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA). Ferruginol inhibits the growth of thyroid cancer cells through the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis. Ferruginol has antitumor, cardioprotective, antioxidant, gastroprotective, and neuroprotective activities[1][2][3].
Applications: COVID-19-anti-virus
Formula: C20H30O
