General description

Honokiol exhibits analgesic, antithrombotic, antispasmodic, antidepressant, antimicrobial and neuroprotective effects. It regulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors. Honokiol is associated with an increased risk of bleeding. It prevents platelet aggregation, protects myocardium from ischemic damage and inhibits ventricular arrhythmia.

Application

Honokiol has been used:
  • to study its effects on plasmid hSirt3102-399 deacetylation activity
  • as an antioxidant to study its cytoprotective role in human ovarian cancer cells (SKOV-3) and Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHOK1)
  • to explore its effects on oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction via a sirt3-dependent manner
  • for intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannulation

Biochem/physiol Actions
