Antibacterial

Hardwickiic acid
Catalog No: CFN99836

Hardwickiic acid modulates hippocampal [(3)H]NA overflow evoked by a mild depolarizing stimulus by acting at presynaptic opioid receptor subtypes. Hardwickiic acid shows antimicrobial activity, it can inhibit the growth of all the tested microbial species. (-)-Hardwickiic acid has insecticidal activity.

4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one
Catalog No: CFN99847

4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one has antibacterial actiyity, it exhibits inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and its drug-resistant strains. 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one has a strong inhibitory effect on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase. It also shows cytotoxicity against the tumor cell lines, U937 and HepG2.

Shikonin
Catalog No: CFN99907

Shikonin is a natural red naphthoquinone pigment, has antimicrobial, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory effects; a purified shikonin preparation is widely used for the production of medicinals, cosmetics, and some food products; shikonin also enters into the antiinflammatory ointment and cream compositions used for the treatment of burns. It can suppress the cell viability, adhesion, invasion and migratory ability of MGC-803 cells through TLR2- or NF-κB-mediated pathway.

Dihydromorin
Catalog No: CFN99854

trans-Dihydromorin is an effective hypopigmenting agent in normal skin cells, hypopigmenting agents effective in melanoma system may not be effective on normal melanocytes, indicating that a non-tumor melanocyte system is more suitable for the screening of hypopigmenting agents. Dihydromorin shows strong mushroom inhibitory activity with IC50 values lower than 50 microM, more potent than (IC50 = 71.6 microM), it may be as an antibrowning agent in food systems.

Pterodontic acid
Catalog No: CFN99861

Pterodontic acid and pterodondiol showed moderate activity against bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis.
