Quercus robur L. Extract

Castalagin is an orally active natural product with multiple biological activities including antibacterial activity against bacteria and anti-leishmanial activity against Leishmania aethiopica. Castalagin exhibits inhibitory activity against PARP1 and DNA topoisomerase II, with an IC₅₀ of 0.86 μM for bovine PARP1. Castalagin reduces poly (ADP-ribosyl) ation modification in cells. Castalagin binds to the cell envelope of Ruminococcus bromii, increases the ratio of CD8⁺/FOXP3⁺CD4⁺ T cells in the tumor microenvironment, and acts as a prebiotic to enhance the activity of anti-PD-1 therapy. Castalagin induces morphological changes in Leishmania aethiopica promastigotes and inhibits their proliferation. Castalagin inhibits PBP2a-mediated peptidoglycan layer stabilization, disrupts bacterial peptidoglycan assembly, and inhibits and disintegrates bacterial biofilms. Castalagin can be used in research related to diseases such as cancer, leishmaniasis, and bacterial infections.
