Vialinin A (Terrestrin A) is a p-terphenyl compound that can be derived from a Chinese edible mushroom. Vialinin A is an inhibitor of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 4 (USP4) and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Vialinin A can alleviate cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury-induced neurological deficits and neuronal apoptosis. Vialinin A promotes activation of Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and increases the protein degradation of Keap1. Vialinin A possesses various pharmacological activities in cancer, Kawasaki disease, asthma, and pathological scarring. Vialinin A is a potent inhibitor of TNF-alpha, USP4, USP5, and sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1). Vialinin A can be studied in reseach for autoimmune diseases, cancer and ischaemic stroke[1][2][3].
