Biological Activity
Steroid lactone that displays anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antiangiogenic activity. Inhibits endothelial cells (HUVEC) sprouting in vitro (IC50 = 12 nM) and in vivo. Prevents NF-κB activation by inhibiting activation of IKKβ. Also inhibits chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome.
