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.
trans-Hinokiresinol
Catalog No: CFN99834
Hinokiresinol is a novel inhibitor of LTB4 binding to the human neutrophils, it has antiallergic effect, it inhibits IgE-induced mouse passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction. Hinokiresinol (trans-hinokiresinol) and nyasol (cis-hinokiresinol) are estrogen agonists, they possess appreciable estrogen receptor binding activity, they can stimulate the proliferation of estrogen- dependent T47D breast cancer cells, and their stimulatory effects could be blocked by an estrogen antagonist. They have similar free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activities, they also have anti-ischemic effects, only trans-hinokiresinol can significantly decrease neuronal injury in cultured cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by re-oxygenation.
