Pterostilbene
Resveratrol analog / A naturally occurring stilbenoid related to resveratrol. Displays antiproliferative activity. Induces accumulation of autophagic vacuoles followed by cell death in HL60 cells1. Displays protective effects against free radical-mediated oxidative damage2. Produces anti-inflammatory effects by down-regulating the activity of TNFα3. Activates AMPK4.
