Immunosuppression

Kurarinone
Catalog No: CFN92003

Kurarinone exhibits anti-tumor, estrogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities, it also shows strong inhibitory effect on immune responses. Kurarinone may ameliorate chronic inflammatory skin diseases through the suppression of pathogenic CD4(+) T-cell differentiation and the overall immune response. Kurarinone sensitizes TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced tumor cell apoptosis via suppression of NF-κB-dependent cFLIP expression; it may be by way of down-regulating Smad3 expression to interfere its induction on intercellular signal transduction and consequently ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis.

Wilfortrine
Catalog No: CFN92105

Wilfortrine can induce liver cancer cell HepG2 apoptosis, but with no effect on the cell cycle, mainly by promoting Bax expression and inhibiting anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression. The combined treatment using wilfortrine and paclitaxel can inhibit proliferation and invasion of liver cancer cells via down-regulating Bcl-2 and up-regulating Bax, with better efficacy than single use of either drug. Wilfortrine and euonine (40.80 mg/(kg.d) x 4d ip) show marked depressant effects on humoral mediated immunity using the hemolysin reaction as indices.

Enmein
Catalog No: CFN92435

Enmein shows significant inhibitory effect toward human tumor cell K562 with IC(50) values ranging from 3.2 microg/ml to 8.2 microg/ml, it shows antitumour activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and is active against gram-positive bacteria. Enmein has distinct immunosuppressive effect in vitro and in vivo systems, it depresses the murine ear swelling extent and the level of Interleukin-2 in blood serum in a dose-dependent manner.

Hypocrellin A
Catalog No: CFN92439

Hypocrellin A, an a natural perylene quinine photosensitizers (PSs), can chelate with heavy metal ions, including Au(III) and Pt(IV), to form a 1:2 complex. Hypocrellin A has light-induced antitumor,antifungal and antiviral activities, it also exerts immunomodulatory effects on MHC-restricted presentation of antigen.

Hopeachinol B
Catalog No: CFN92531

Hopeachinol B is a potent immunosuppressive polyphenol.
