Precursors

Nerylacetate
Catalog No: CFN93088

Nerylacetate and 1,5-dienes geranyl acetate are catalyzed to the cis-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofurans 3 and 4 by OsO4.

Orsellinic acid
Catalog No: CFN96277

Orsellinic acid is a novel benzoquinone ring precursor for antroquinonol and 4-acetylantroquinonol B, it formed from acetyl-coenzyme Q (CoQ) and malonyl-CoA via polyketide pathway. Orsellinic acid can block platelet activating factor (PAF)-mediated neuronal apoptosis without affecting G-protein coupled receptor (PAFR)-mediated neuroprotection, it can effectively attenuate PAFR-independent neuronal apoptosis.

Preskimmianine
Catalog No: CFN96377

Preskimmianine is the biogenetic precursor of skimmianine.It can significantly inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 cells.

Tyramine
Catalog No: CFN96470

Tyramine is a major mutagen precursor in soy sauce, being convertible to a mutagen by nitrite; it is the biological precursor of octopamine, both compounds are independent neurotransmitters, acting through various G-protein coupled receptors, they are antagonistic modulators of behavior and metabolism.

(R)-Reticuline
Catalog No: CFN95013

(R)-Reticuline is the biosynthetic precursor of the morphinan alkaloids.
