Use of Polyporenic acid C

Polyporenic acid C is a lanostane-type triterpenoid isolated from P. cocos. Polyporenic acid C induces cell apoptosis through the death receptor-mediated apoptotic pathway without the involvement of the mitochondria. Polyporenic acid C is promising agent for lung cancer therapy[1].
