13(18)-Oleanen-3-one
Catalog No: CFN98023
δ-Amyrone(13(18)-Oleanen-3-one), a specific inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, possesses anti-inflammatory effects, which may be relevant to the regulation of COX-2; it exerts its protective effect on experimental gastric ulcer by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathways, which subsequently reduces overproduction of the inducible enzymes iNOS and suppresses the release of the inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6 and NO. δ-Amyrone has protective activity on LPS-induced endotoxic shock, which is attributed to reducing NO production and mediating the pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibited NF-κB expression.
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.
