Harpagoside is a chemical compound classified as an iridoid glycoside.[1] It is an chemical constituent of the plant Harpagophytum procumbens (devil’s claw).[2]

In vitro, it inhibits NF-κB activation (a protein complex that controls transcription of DNA), suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced iNOS, and inhibits COX-2 expression.[2]
