Nootkatone
Catalog No: CFN98699
Nootkatone, a naturally occurring AMPK activator, can stimulate energy metabolism and prevents diet-induced obesity by activating AMPK. (+)-Nootkatone has antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and antiplatelet activities. Nootkatone is a strong repellent and toxicant to Formosan subterranean termites, the lowest effective concentration tested is 10 micrograms/g substrate. (+)-Nootkatone has potent inhibitory effect on collagen-, thrombin-, and AA-induced platelet aggregation, it also has a significant inhibitory effect on rat platelet aggregation ex vivo.
Nordihydrocapsaicin
Catalog No: CFN90241
Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are the major active components in pepper spray products, which are widely used for law enforcement and self-protection, they has cytotoxicity, they induces p53 protein and G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Dihydrocapsaicin induces hypothermia and substance P depletion, it or radiolabelled dihydrocapsaicin, may be a useful tool for investigating the mechanisms by which capsaicin alters thermoregulation and primary afferent neuron function.Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin have effect on in vitro blood coagulation and platelet aggregation.
Nordihydroguaiaretic acid
Catalog No: CFN70384
Nordihydroguaiaretic acid(NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, also inhibits cytochrome P-450-mediated monooxygenase activity in rat epidermal and hepatic microsomes. NDGA has anti-inflammatory, antimutagen and/or anticarcinogen activities. NDGA protects hippocampal neurons against amyloid β-peptide toxicity, and attenuates free radical and calcium accumulation, it can interupt a neurodegenerative pathway relevant to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. NDGA protects against high-fat diet-induced fatty liver by activating AMP-activated protein kinase in obese mice. NDGA-crosslinking of decellularized valvular matrix is a promising approach for preparation of heart valve tissue engineering scaffolds.
