Ginkgolide C is a diterpene lactone found in Ginkgo; it exhibits anticoagulant, neuromodulatory, and antioxidative activities. Ginkgolide C increases levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), cAMP, and cGMP, suppresses production of thromboxane A2 (TxA2), and inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro. Ginkgolide C inhibits GABA-A receptors, α-1 glycine receptors, and PAF receptors. In cellular models, ginkgolide C inhibits formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals.
