Hericerin A
Hericerin A is an isoindolinone derivative and a selective cytotoxic agent. Hericerin A is isolated from Hericium erinaceus cultured on brown rice. Hericerin A downregulates the phosphorylation of AKT and downregulates c-Myc oncoprotein levels downstream of p-AKT inactivation. Hericerin A induces Apoptosis. Hericerin A exhibits anticancer activity against leukemia. Hericerin A is used in research on acute promyelocytic leukemia, breast cancer, and Helicobacter pylori infection.

In Vitro
Hericerin A (0.01-100 μM; 72 h) exhibits weak cytotoxicity against HEL-299 cells, inhibiting growth by less than 30% at concentrations up to 50 μM, with an IC50 of 64.61 μM[1].
Hericerin A inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in HL-60 leukemia cells with an IC50 of 3.06 μmol/L and in HEL-299 cells with an IC50 of 64.61 μmol/L[4].
