trans-Hinokiresinol
Catalog No: CFN99834
Hinokiresinol is a novel inhibitor of LTB4 binding to the human neutrophils, it has antiallergic effect, it inhibits IgE-induced mouse passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction. Hinokiresinol (trans-hinokiresinol) and nyasol (cis-hinokiresinol) are estrogen agonists, they possess appreciable estrogen receptor binding activity, they can stimulate the proliferation of estrogen- dependent T47D breast cancer cells, and their stimulatory effects could be blocked by an estrogen antagonist. They have similar free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activities, they also have anti-ischemic effects, only trans-hinokiresinol can significantly decrease neuronal injury in cultured cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by re-oxygenation.
Phytic acid
Catalog No: CFN99792
Phytic acid is the principal storage form of phosphorus in many plant tissues, especially bran and seeds. It can act as a cofactor in DNA repair by nonhomologous end-joining. It is a trypsin inhibitor, has chelating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, it forms an iron chelate which greatly accelerates Fe2+-mediated oxygen reduction yet blocks iron-driven hydroxyl radical generation and suppresses lipid peroxidation. High concentrations of phytic acid prevent browning and putrefaction of various fruits and vegetables by inhibiting polyphenol oxidase, it may be a substitute for presently employed preservatives.
