Notes: Cytosporone B is a naturally occurring agonist for the nuclear receptor Nur77 (IC50 = 0.278 nM).{28698} Activation of Nur77 with cytosporone B induces the expression of Nur77-dependent genes, including the gene for Nur77 itself.{28698} Signaling through Nur77 induces apoptosis in cancer cells and retards xenograft tumor growth.{28698} It also induces genes related to gluconeogenesis and decreases atherosclerosis progression in mice fed a high fat and high cholesterol diet.{28698,28695} Cytosporone B is brain penetrant and aggravates early brain injury in rats when given (13 mg/kg intraperitoneally) after experimentally-induced subarachnoid hemorrhage.{28694} Cytosporone B also has antibacterial properties.{28693,28696}
