Activators

Obacunone
Catalog No: CFN97233

Obacunone is a novel activator of Nrf2, which exhibits anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antivirulence, insecticidal, anti-proliferative and anti-aromatase activities. Obacunone stimulates muscle hypertrophy and prevents obesity and hyperglycemia, and that these beneficial effects are likely to be mediated through the activation of TGR5 and inhibition of PPARγ transcriptional activity. Obacunone significantly inhibits aromatase activity in an in vitro enzyme assay with an IC50 value of 28.04 μM, and it also inhibits the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Methyl syringate
Catalog No: CFN97450

Methyl syringate is a specific and selective activator of hTRPA1, can regulate food intake and gastric emptying through a TRPA1-mediated pathway and, by extension, can contribute to weight suppression. Methyl syringate has a unique inhibitory activity toward aflatoxin production. Methyl syringate could be effective to suppress hypoxia-induced inflammation, it inhibits the hypoxic induction of COX-2 expression and cell invasion through TRPA1 activation.

Cucurbitacin D
Catalog No: CFN90209

Cucurbitacin D has anticancer effects, it induces apoptosis through caspase-3 and phosphorylation of JNK in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Cucurbitacin D may be a potential therapeutic agent for β-hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia. Cucurbitacin D is a new inflammasome activator in macrophages, it can initiate immunomodulating activity in macrophages to lead to inflammasome activation as well as enhancement of LPS signaling.

Dihydromethysticin
Catalog No: CFN90332

Dihydromethysticin non-competitively inhibits the specific binding of [3H]-batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate to receptor site 2 of voltage-gated Na+ channels.The induction of CYP3A23 by dihydromethysticin and desmethoxyyangonin involves transcription activation, probably through a pregnane X receptor (PXR).-independent or PXR-involved indirect mechanism.

Bisandrographolide A
Catalog No: CFN97814

Bisandrographolide A activates TRPV4 channels, could play a role in some of the effects of Andrographis extract described in traditional medicine.
