Rubipodanone A（Cat No.:I044852）is a unique anthraquinone derivative isolated from Rubia podantha, a species traditionally used in herbal medicine. Structurally, it features an anthraquinone core with distinctive substitutions that contribute to its potent biological activity. Rubipodanone A has demonstrated notable cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties, likely through DNA intercalation and oxidative stress induction. Its quinonoid structure allows redox cycling, which can disrupt cellular homeostasis in pathogens and tumor cells. As part of the diverse secondary metabolites of the Rubia genus, Rubipodanone A holds promise for development in anticancer and antimicrobial drug research.
