The exact operation mechanism of Djenkolic acid is still not completely understood. However, it′s hypothesized that the compound functions by linking to specific receptors on the cell surface and curtailing their activity. This activity inhibition is speculated to be responsible for Djenkolic acid′s anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidant activities.
