Tryptanthrin (13220-57-0) is an indoloquinazoline alkaloid found in various plant species and possessing intriguing pharmacological activities.1Suppresses activation of BV2 microglia cells following LPS treatment and reduces production of proinflammatory cytokines via Nrf2, HO-1 and NFκB signaling.2  Displays anti-inflammatory activity targeting IL-17.3 Inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) with an IC50 of 5-17 μM.4 Induces growth inhibition and neuronal differentiation in human neuroblastoma LA-N-1 cells.5
