Sorbic acid
Catalog No: CFN90061
Sorbic acid is important food preservatives and powerful fungistatic agents, it inhibits various bacteria, including sporeformers, at various stages of their life cycle (germination, outgrowth and cell division). Sorbic acid is a more potent uncoupler of the membrane potential than acetic acid, the effect may also slow the rate of ATP synthesis significantly and may thus (partially) explain Sorbic acid's effectiveness.
Pinoresinol
Catalog No: CFN98775
Pinoresinol has antiinflammatory, hepatoprotective, and fungicidal activities, it can protect pial microcirculation from I-reperfusion injury, to increase nitric oxide release and to reduce oxidative stress preserving pial blood flow distribution; it may exert pharmacologically interesting effects via modulation of the insulin-like signalling pathway in C. elegans. Pinoresinol causes an upregulation of the CDK inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1) both at mRNA and protein levels, inhibits NF-kappaB and activating protein 1 (AP-1).
