Geniposidic acid

Geniposidic acid is an effective anticancer and radioprotection agent. Geniposidic?acid might be a more potent tumor growth inhibitor than geniposide (GP) when combined with the X-irradiation, though there was no significant synergetic effect on their combined antitumor activity. In a study, collagen synthesis was stimulated by the administration of a hot water extract from the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides OLIVER, Eucommiaceae (Du-Zhong leaves) in false aged model rats. The administration of geniposidic?acid stimulated collagen synthesis in aged model rats.
