Use of Loureirin C

Loureirin C, isolated from "Dragon’s blood", which is a deep red resin obtained from a variety of plant sources. The resin extracted from stems of Dracaena cochinchinensis is one such source of “dragon’s blood”, has a reputation for facilitating blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. The resin has anti-bacterial, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor activities[1].
