Genipin
Catalog No: CFN99142
Genipin is an excellent natural cross-linker for proteins, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linking, can be used as a regulating agent for drug delivery, as the raw material for gardenia blue pigment preparation. It is a novel chemical activator of EBV lytic cycle and a cell permeable inhibitor of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). Genipin has antimicrobial,antiviral, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory effects, it is used for choleretic action for liver diseases control and could be used for the treatment of periodontal disease to prevent MMPs expression in periodontal lesion. It shows an antithrombotic effect in vivo due to the suppression of platelet aggregation.
Geniposide
Catalog No: CFN98261
Geniposide exhibits anti-diabetic, antidepressant-like, antioxidative, anti-apoptotic, antiproliferative and neuroprotective activities. Geniposide is an agonist for GLP-1 receptor, it regulates expression of anti-oxidative proteins including HO-1 and Bcl-2 by activating the transcriptor of p90RSK via MAPK signaling pathway in PC12 cells. Geniposide may suppress TGF-β1-induced EMT in hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting the TGFβ/Smad and ERK-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways.
