Long Description:
Chemical. CAS: 56-25-7. Formula: C10H12O4. MW: 196.2. . Cantharidin is a natural toxin produced by blister beetles. It is a selective protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor and weakly inhibits protein phosphatases 1 (PP1). Displays > 500-fold selectivity over PP2B. Induces G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis, suppresses autophagy and inhibits cell proliferation. It is used topically against Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) infections and associated warts. Has shown potent anticancer activities on many types of human cancer cells.
