Obtusin(CAT: R072633) is an anthraquinone derivative isolated from Cassia obtusifolia and related species used in traditional medicine. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-obesity activities. Research shows that Obtusin can modulate lipid and glucose metabolism, suppress inflammatory mediators, and protect against oxidative stress. In metabolic studies, it has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity and reduced adipogenesis, making it relevant in obesity and diabetes research. Additionally, its hepatoprotective properties have been studied in toxin-induced liver injury models. Obtusin is a valuable compound for natural product pharmacology, with applications in metabolic, hepatic, and inflammatory disease research.
