Anti-proliferation

Theaflavin
Catalog No: CFN98597

Theaflavin is a suitable natural inhibitor against influenza A (H1N1) neuraminidase, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, anti-mutagenic, anti-HSV-1, and anti-carcinogenic properties. Theaflavin is active in the prevention of fatty liver and obesity, it can significantly reduce lipid accumulation, suppress fatty acid synthesis, and stimulate fatty acid oxidation. Theaflavin inhibits LPS-Induced IL-6, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages through the blockade of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways; it also protects nigral dopaminergic neurons against chronic MPTP/probenecid induced Parkinson's disease.

Tryptophol
Catalog No: CFN98866

Tryptophol is an aromatic alcohol found as a secondary product of alcoholic fermentation that induces sleep in humans. Tryptophol can inhibit the infection/replication of GVE2 by interacting with the host's Clp protease. Tryptophol can inhibit the proliferation of U937 cells by inducing apoptosis via a pathway involving caspase-8 followed by caspase-3. Tryptophol induces apoptosis through Death Receptor (DR) 5 and that the resistance of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to tryptophol-induced apoptosis might be due to competition from decoy receptor (DcR).

Uvaol
Catalog No: CFN98912

Uvaol has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and vasorelaxing activities. Uvaol reduces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricle remodeling induced by angiotensin II in mice by diminishing fibrosis and myocyte area; it inhibits the angiotensin II-induced proliferation in a PPAR-γ-dependent manner, while at high doses they activate pathways of programmed cell death that are dependent on JNK and PPAR-γ.

Erythrodiol
Catalog No: CFN98914

Erythrodiol is the precursor of pentacyclic triterpenic acids, it exerts antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity in colon adenocarcinoma cells. Erythrodiol may have interesting therapeutic potential as new vasodilator drugs, thus protecting the cardiovascular system.

Gyrophoric acid
Catalog No: CFN98919

Vulpinic and gyrophoric acids are known as ultraviolet filters for natural lichen populations, they can effectively prevent cytotoxic, apoptotic and cytoskeleton alterative activities of 2.5 J/cm(2) UVB in a dose-dependent manner, suggest that vulpinic and gyrophoric acids can be promising cosmetic ingredients to photo-protect human skin cells. Gyrophoric acid also has anti-proliferative/cytotoxic effect.
