Precursors

Monocrotaline N-oxide
Catalog No: CFN00385

Monocrotaline N-oxide is an adequate precursor for the production of the courtship pheromone hydroxydanaidal, it is a phagostimulant for larvae and it stimulates the growth and development of adult male androconial organs called coremata.Monocrotaline N-oxide fed to larvae also affects the courtship behavior of adult males.

(-)-Asarinin
Catalog No: CFN90144

Asarinin, a mammalian lignan precursor, has immunosuppression activity in vitro. Asarinin can decrease peripheral blood concentration of interleukin (IL)-12 and inhibit the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3), which means asarinin may have a role on TLR4 pathway and produced prolongation of allograft heart survival.

Prunetin
Catalog No: CFN90189

Prunetin mediates anti-obesity/adipogenesis effects by suppressing obesity-related transcription through a feedback mechanism that regulates the expression of adiponectin, adipoR1, adipoR2, and AMPK. Prunetin and biochanin A are potent reducers of NF-κB and ERK activation, zonula occludens 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and metalloproteinase-mediated shedding activity, which may account for the barrier-improving ability of these isoflavones.

Vinorine
Catalog No: CFN97757

Vinorine is a direct biosynthetic precursor along the complex pathway to the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid ajmaline, an antiarrhythmic drug from the Indian medicinal plant Rauvolfia serpentina.

Coniferyl alcohol
Catalog No: CFN97760

Coniferyl alcohol restores the growth of KI-treated BY-2 cells and N. benthamiana seedlings, at high concentrations is toxic to plant cells.
