Theaflavine-3,3'-digallate
Catalog No: CFN98598
Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate is a potent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator with anti-adiposity activity in adipocytes, suggesting its potential application in functional foods and nutraceuticals for obesity management. Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate is also an inducer of oxidative stress and apoptosis, it has strong antioxidant and antiangiogenic activities, it inhibits the tube formation of endothelial cells via decreased both MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in vitro. A combination microbicide containing theaflavin-3,3'-digallate and lactic acid can reduce herpes simplex virus (HSV) transmission. Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate may exert its anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive actions by suppressing the activation of NFkappaB through inhibition of IkappaB kinase (IKK) activity. Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate can repress osteoclastogenesis and prevent wear debris-induced osteolysis via suppression of ERK pathway, it is a promising candidate for the treatment of osteoclast-related osteolytic diseases, such as wear debris-induced peri-implant osteolysis (PIO).
Galangin
Catalog No: CFN98918
Galangin is an agonist/antagonist of the arylhydrocarbon receptor, and also shows inhibition of CYP1A1 activity. Galangin has anti-proliferation, anti-metastatic, anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, antiviral, anti-allergic inflammatory,anti-obesity effects; it may be a potential candidate for the treatment of vitiligo. Galangin can inhibit Topo I activity and reduce the unwinding rate of single stranded DNNA in tumor cells, which plays an important role in induction of A549 and H46 cell apoptosis. Galangin shows an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity with the IC(50) of 120 microM;
it also inhibits ERK, NF-κB-p65 and proinflammatory gene expression.
