2',3'-Dehydrosalannol is a bioactive compound, which is derived from the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica). It functions by interfering with specific biochemical pathways, particularly those involving enzymes that regulate cell growth and apoptosis. This action is facilitated through its interaction with key cellular receptors, influencing transcription factors and signaling pathways. The compound finds its applications primarily in the research of cancer therapeutics, owing to its potential to selectively inhibit the proliferation of malignant cells while sparing normal cells. Furthermore, it is studied for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it a subject of interest in the development of novel anti-infective and therapeutic agents. The diverse biological activities of 2',3'-Dehydrosalannol make it an attractive molecule for researchers focused on natural product-based drug discovery and development.

2',3'-Dehydrosalannol deters Spodptera litura and inhibits TNBC cell growth by blocking cathepsin signals.
