Cantharidin
Catalog No: CFN99790

Cantharidin, a natural toxicant of blister beetles, is a strong inhibitor of protein phosphatases types 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A), and is a novel and potent multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agent. Cantharidin has anti-tumor activity, it causes oxidative stress that provokes DNA damage and p53-dependent apoptosis, it impairs cell migration and invasion by suppressing MMP-2 and -9 through PI3K/NF-κB signaling pathways.

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.

Dihydrocapsaicin
Catalog No: CFN99918

Dihydrocapsaicin, a potential inducer of autophagy, has cytotoxic activity. It has anti-atherogenic activity, can reduce the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidation. Dihydrocapsaicin treatment depletes peptidergic nerve fibers of substance P and alters mast cell density in the respiratory tract of neonatal sheep.

Tectoridin
Catalog No: CFN99921

Tectoridin, an lens aldose reductase inhibitor, has several pharmacological effects including hypoglycemic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotectivy. It possesses a estrogenic and thyroid hormone-like agent by activating estrogen and thyroid hormone receptors, it also has inhibition on prostaglandin E2 production and cyclooxygenase-2 induction.

Cleroindicin F
Catalog No: CFN99874

Cleroindicin F shows cytotoxic activity against some human cancer cells. Cleroindicin F and apigenin in the ethyl acetate extract provide scientific support to the traditional use of the leaves of C. splendens for the treatment of infections, wounds and other inflammatory conditions.
