(rhubarb) which is a traditional Chinese nutritional food, is a fatty acid synthase (FAS/FASN) inhibitor. Desoxyrhaponticin (DC, DES) is also a competitive inhibitor of glucose uptake with IC50 of 148.3 μM and 30.9 μM in rabbit intestinal membrane vesicles and in rat everted gut sleeves, respectively. Desoxyrhaponticin has apoptotic effect on human cancer cells. Targets FAS/FASN ; glucose (in rat everted gut sleeves); glucose (in rabbit intestinal membrane vesicles) ; 30.9 μM; 148.3 μM
