Neuroprotection

Euxanthone
Catalog No: CFN98879

Euxanthone has vasorelaxation effect, may be through multiple pathways involved PKC-mediated signal pathway and calcium-independent pathway, it induces its vasodilator effect through inhibition of calcium-sensitive mechanisms activated by protein kinase C. Euxanthone-induced neurite outgrowth was actively regulated by transcription factor E2F-5 via PKC pathway, it-induced differentiation of the neuroblastoma BU-1 cells may be mediated through the differential expression of PKC-alpha, -beta, -delta, -lambda and -zeta isoforms.
Aristolactam BII
Catalog No: CFN98903

Aristolactam BII exhibits antimicrobial and antiinflammatory activity, it shows significant activity towards DPPH radical scavenging and potent inhibitory effects against tyrosinase mushroom. Aristolactam BII also exerts its significant neuroprotective effects on glutamate-injured primary cultures of rat cortical cells by directly inhibiting the production of nitric oxide.
Galangin
Catalog No: CFN98918

Galangin is an agonist/antagonist of the arylhydrocarbon receptor, and also shows inhibition of CYP1A1 activity. Galangin has anti-proliferation, anti-metastatic, anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, antiviral, anti-allergic inflammatory,anti-obesity effects; it may be a potential candidate for the treatment of vitiligo. Galangin can inhibit Topo I activity and reduce the unwinding rate of single stranded DNNA in tumor cells, which plays an important role in induction of A549 and H46 cell apoptosis. Galangin shows an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity with the IC(50) of 120 microM; it also inhibits ERK, NF-κB-p65 and proinflammatory gene expression.
Paeonol
Catalog No: CFN98926

Paeonol has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cardiovascular protective activities, it shows a novel inhibitory role on neuroinflammation, and presents a new candidate agent for the development of therapies for inflammation-related neurodegenerative diseases. Paeonol suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory cytokines in macrophage cells and protects mice from lethal endotoxin shock. Paeonol inhibits MAO-A and MAO-B with IC50 of 54.6 μM and 42.5 μM, respectively; it inhibits PGE₂ synthesis and COX-2 expression, and modulates Sirtuin 1, PKCδ and c-Src signaling pathway.
Tanshinone I
Catalog No: CFN98953

Tanshinone I is an inhibitor of type IIA human recombinant sPLA2 (IC50=11 μM) and rabbit recombinant cPLA2 (IC50=82 μM). Tanshinone I possesses hepatocyte protective, anticancer, neuroprotection, and nephroprotective properties. Tanshinone I pretreatment causes significant suppression of skin cell death induces by solar simulated UV and riboflavin-sensitized UVA.
