Lupenone
Catalog No: CFN99681
Lupenone and lupeol inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) with IC50 values of 13.7 ± 2.1 and 5.6 ± 0.9 uM, respectively, they are non−competitive inhibitors of PTP1B, and PTP1B appears to be an attractive target for the development of new drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Lupenone stimulates melanogenesis by increasing the tyrosinase enzyme expression via mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 phosphorylation inhibition. A 1 : 4 mixture of Lupenone and caryophyllene oxide shows trypanocidal activity.
