Angoroside C has anti-inflammatory properties, and in a concentration-dependent manner, it may considerably suppress LPS-induced PGE(2), NO, and TNF-alpha. It also has cytotoxic and cytostatic effects on many cancer cell types. The favorable effects of ganglioside C on ventricular remodeling are likely due to its ability to reduce Ang II levels while attenuating the production of ET-1 and TGF-1 mRNA.
