Products with Pigments bioactivity
| Cat.No. | Product Name |
|---|---|
| BCN3530 | Shikonine |
| Shikonin(Shikonine), a potent and specific Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) inhibitor, has antibacterial, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory effects, it provides neuroprotection by reducing the release of various proinflammatory molecules from activated microglia. Shikonin can inhibit VEGF-induced angiogenesis and suppress tumor growth in lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice. | |
| BCN5298 | Mesuaxanthone A |
| 1. Mesuaxanthone A and mesuaxanthone B are two yellow pigments. 2. Mesuaxantbone A and mesuaxanthone B produce varying degrees of C.N.S. depression characterised by ptosis, sedation, decreased spontaneous motor activity, loss of muscle tone, potentiation of pentobarbitone sleeping time and ether anaerthesia in mice and rats; they also exhibit anti inflammatory activity both by intraperitoneal and oral routes in rats. | |
| BCN5390 | Luteosporin |
| 1. Luteosporin and xanthomegnin are pigments, they are suspected to be genotoxic carcinogens. 2. Luteosporin inhibits porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with Ki values of 12.8 microM. | |
| BCN6480 | Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside |
| 1. Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside, quercetagetin, quercetagetin 3'-methyl ether 7-O-glucoside, patuletin, and patuletin 7-O-glucoside are "yellow flavonols", and it was shown that the flower colors of three yellow-flowered species are due to these compounds. 2. Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside, a potent inhibitor of beta-glucuronidase and lysozyme release, shows anti-inflammatory activity, can significantly inhibit arachidonic acid release from membranes. | |
| BCN6541 | Carminic acid |
| Carminic acid, the well-known red dyestuff from cochineal insects (Dactylopius spp.), is a potent feeding deterrent to ants. Carminic acid is an antioxidant to protect erythrocytes and DNA against radical‐induced oxidation, it also has antitumor activity. | |
