Tuhoupu, an herb made from manglietia, is sometimes used as a substitute for magnolia bark.Pharmacological Action:1. Inhibit secretion of acidity, Anti-dental caries and anti-periodontal disease.2. Anti-tumor and cancer: Inhibits or prevents the growth or development of malignant cells. A potential anti-cancer material.3. Anti-inflammatory and canker.4. Anti-anxiety: Relax striated muscles,reduce blood pressure, use for anti-stress, anti-depressive and improving sleep.5. Powerful antioxidant protection: 1000 times more potent than vitamin E in inhibiting lipid peroxidation,a major contributor toatherosclerosis and heart diseases. It’s effective in cardiovascular diseases.FUNCTIONS:Anti-tumorigenic activitiesHonokiol has shown pro-apoptotic effects in melanoma, sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia,bladder, lung, prostate, oral squamous cell carcinoma andcolon cancer cell lines.Honokiol inhibits phosphorylation of Akt, p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and src.Additionally, honokiol regulates the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation pathway,an upstream effector of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), MCL1, andcyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), all significant pro-angiogenic and survival factors.Neurotrophic activityHonokiol has been shown to promote neurite outgrowth and have neuroprotective effects in rat cortical neurons.Additionally, honokiol increases free cytoplasmic Ca2+ in rat cortical neurons.Honokiol is a weak cannabinoid CB2 receptor ligand but the naturally occurring derivative 4-Omethylhonokiolwas shown to be a potent and selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor inverse agonist and to possessantiosteoclastic effects.Anti-thrombotic activityHonokiol inhibits platelet aggregation in rabbits in a dose-dependent manner, and protects cultured RAEC against oxidized low densitylipoprotein injury.Honokiol significantly increases the prostacyclin metabolite6-keto-PGF1alpha, potentially the key factor in honokiol's anti-thrombotic activity.
