Rubiarbonol B induces RIPK1-dependent necroptosis via NOX1-derived ROS production
The activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) by death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation is essential for triggering the necroptotic mode of cell death under apoptosis-deficient con...

Discovery of rubiarbonone C as a selective inhibitor of cytochrome P450 4F enzymes
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, particularly CYP4A/4F, are the major ω-hydroxylases of arachidonic acid (AA) that can produce 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). Although there are dissimilarities in sub...
