Cucurbitacin B Suppresses The Transactivation Activity of RelA/p65
The FASEB Journal, 2011 Cucurbitacin B, a natural triterpenoid is well known for its strong anticancer activity, and recent studies showed that cucurbitacicn B inhibits JAK/STAT3 pathway. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that cucurbitacin B is also a potent inhibitor of NF‐κB activation. Our results showed that cucurbitacin B inhibited TNF‐α‐induced expression
