Gambogic acid is a natural product that has gained attention in biochemical research due to its activity as a potent apoptosis inducer. It is frequently used in studies focused on the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, where gambogic acid may act to disrupt the mitochondrial membrane potential. The research involving gambogic acid primarily centers on its binding affinity to transferrin receptor proteins, which are often overexpressed in cancer cells, thereby providing a mechanism to explore the selective induction of cell death. Additionally, its role in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the subsequent activation of apoptotic pathways is a subject of interest. In cellular models, gambogic acid is also used to investigate its influence on various signaling cascades, including the NF-κB pathway, which is known to regulate a wide array of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses.
