Antagonists

Yangambin
Catalog No: CFN96416

Yangambin is a selective antagonist of the cardiovascular effects of platelet activating factor (PAF); it has hypotensive effect, which is probably due to a peripheral vasodilatation that involves, at least, the inhibition the Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Yangambin has central nervous system activity, it presents a depressant activity in the open field, forced swimming and pentobarbital sleeping time tests.

Triptinin B
Catalog No: CFN96479

Triptinin A and triptinin B are leukotriene D4 antagonist constituents.

Cytosporone B
Catalog No: CFN90885

Cytosporone B is a naturally occurring agonist for Nur77, it also is a Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1)-inhibitor, it may have potential in drug development against antibiotic-resistant Salmonella. Cytosporone B can elevate blood glucose levels in fasting C57 mice, an effect that is accompanied by induction of multiple genes involved in gluconeogenesis. Cytosporone B can inhibit transforming growth factor-b (TGF-β)-induced contraction of human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs), likely as a result of its attenuation of the up-regulation of α-SMA expression.
