Protocatechualdehyde (PCA) exerts anti-cancer activity through down-regulating cyclin D1 and HDAC2 in human colorectal cancer cells. The inhibition of cell viability and apoptosis by PCA may be result of ATF3 expression through ERK1/2 and p38-mediated transcriptional activation. PCA suppress β-catenin expression through GSK3β- and NF-κB-mediated proteosomal degradation. In addition, PCA decreased cyclin D1 expression independent to β-catenin through proteosomal degradation. PCA could be useful in attenuation of MGO-induced cell damage and the possible mechanism is involved in modulating AGEs-receptor of AGEs axis in human lens epithelial cells, which suggests that PCA has a potential protective effect on diabetic cataract.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
