Usnic acid
Catalog No: CFN97236
Usnic acid has antitumoral, acaricidal, larvicidal, antiviral, antibiotic, antipyretic, analgesic,gastroprotective, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Use of reconstituted bovine type-I collagen-based films containing usnic acid can improve burn healing process in rats. Usnic acid perturbs various interrelated signaling pathways and that autophagy induction is a defensive mechanism against usnic acid-induced cytotoxicity; it disturbs calcium homeostasis, induces ER stress, and that Usnic acid-induced cellular damage occurs at least partially via activation of the Ca(2+) channel of SOCE.
Artocarpin
Catalog No: CFN97239
Artocarpin has anti- bactericidal effect, can reduce the viability of pneumococci by a factor of >1000, without obvious harm to lung epithelial cells. Artocarpin can prevent skin damage from UVB irradiation-induced photodamage in hairless mice and this is likely mediated through its antioxidant and anti-inflammation mechanisms.Artocarpin possesses potent 5alpha reductase inhibitory effect, it induces apoptosis in HSC-1 and T47D cells through modulation of MAPK and Akt/mTOR pathways, an extrinsic pathway, respectively. Artocarpin has an efficient lightening effect on UV-stimulated hyperpigmented dorsal skins of brownish guinea pigs.
