Antioxidants

Bryonolic acid
Catalog No: CFN98260

Bryonolic acid has cytotoxic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, it can reduce the inflammatory mediator NO by suppressing the expression of the inflammatory enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Bryonolic acid may be a promising neuroprotective agent for the treatment of cerebral ischemia disease, it can protect PC12 cells against NMDA-induced apoptosis by inhibiting Ca2+ influx and regulating gene expression in the Ca2+-CaMKII-CREB signal pathway.

Beta-Carotene
Catalog No: CFN98117

Beta Carotene is an organic compound and classified as a terpenoid. It is a precursor (inactive form) of vitamin A. Beta-Carotene has antioxidant activity, anti-cancer, and antiapoptotic activities, it has protective effects against gamma-radiation-induced in vivo chromosomal damage. Dietary supplementation of carotenoids may act as moderate hypocholesterolemic agents, secondary to their inhibitory effect on macrophage 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMGCoA) reductase, the rate limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis.

Patchouli alcohol
Catalog No: CFN98118

Patchouli alcohol has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, gastroprotective, immunomodulatory, and antibacterial effects, which may be mediated, at least in part, by down-regulation of the mRNA expression of a panel of inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2. Patchouli alcohol significantly accelerates the recovery of the UV-induced skin lesions, evidently through anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action, as well as down-regulation of the MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression.

(-)-Epiafzelechin
Catalog No: CFN98271

(-)-Epiafzelechin exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity on carrageenin-induced mouse paw edema, it exhibits a dose-dependent inhibition on the COX activity with an IC50 value of 15 microM, it exhibits about 3-fold weaker inhibitory potency on the enzyme activity than indomethacin as a positive control. (-)-Epicatechin shows zero and/or the lowest activities against pancreatic lipase (IC50 > 20 microM). Epiafzelechin has antioxidant properties.

Isopulegol
Catalog No: CFN98126

Isopulegol presents depressant- and anxiolytic-like effects, it also has anticonvulsant and bioprotective effects against PTZ-induced convulsions are possibly related to positive modulation of benzodiazepine-sensitive GABAA receptors and to antioxidant properties.Isopulegol presents significant gastroprotective effects in both ethanol- and indomethacin-induced ulcer models, which appear to be mediated, at least in part, by endogenous prostaglandins, K(ATP) channel opening, and antioxidant properties.
