Norcantharidin (7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1] heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride) is the demethylated form of cantharidin. Norcantharidin not only has strong anticancer activity, but also eliminates most side-effects in the urinary system, does not cause myelosuppression and increases the number of white blood cells.
