Visnagin
Catalog No: CFN97314
Visnagin has acute hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, it protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy through modulation of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase. Visnagin can relax aortae previously contracted by noradrenaline, and weakly inhibit the hydrolytic activity of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozymes (PDE5, PDE4, PDE3, cyclic GMP activated PDE2 and PDE1).
Rutaecarpine
Catalog No: CFN97337
Rutaecarpine is an inhibitor of COX-2 with an IC50 value of 0.28 μM, and is also a potent inhibitor of CYP1A2. Rutaecarpine has anti-atherosclerosis, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, vasorelaxing, antihypertensive and anti-platelet effects. Rutaecarpine has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the guinea-pig isolated right atria, possible involvement of vanilloid receptors. Rutaecarpine may be useful in the prevention of ultraviolet A-induced photoaging, it inhibits ultraviolet A-induced reactive oxygen species generation, resulting in the enhanced expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in human skin cells.
