Applications

Anacardic acid is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor. Anacardic acid has bactericide, fungicide, insecticide, anti-termite and molluscicide properties and acts as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of pathophysiological disorders such as cancer, oxidative damage, inflammation and obesity. Anacardic acid is a common inhibitor of several clinically targeted enzymes such as NFκB kinase, histone acetyltransferase (HATs), lipoxygenase (LOX-1), xanthine oxidase, tyrosinase and ureases.
