Celastrol, Celastrus scandens, a compound originally purified from Tripterygium wilfordii, has been shown to be an anti-peroxidative and anti-angiogenic agent. Mechanistic studies suggest that Celastrol suppresses levels of VEGF and Flk-1 receptors, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, which may reduce signal transduction between the two growth factors. Additionally, Celastrol has demonstrated the ability to disrupt critical interaction of Glu33 (Hsp90) and Arg167 (Cdc37) in the superchaperone complex which causes anti-proliferative activity in vitro and inhibit Topo II (topoisomerase II) activity in vitro (IC50 = 7.41 μM). Celastrol, Celastrus scandens is an inhibitor of Hsp90.
A variety of natural products from plant sources, particularly flavonoids, have long been observed to have antioxidant activity with potential benefits for human health. Antioxidant triterpenes are less common. Celastrol is a triterpenoid antioxidant compound isolated from Chinese thunder god vine (T. wilfordii). In an isolated rat liver assay of lipid peroxidation, celastrol had an IC50 value of 7 µM, equivalent to about 15 times the antioxidant potency of α-tocopherol.
