| BCN2563 | 4-Methylumbelliferone |
| 4-Methylumbelliferone is a hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.4 mM, which has antitumoral and antimetastatic effects. 4-Methylumbelliferone may inhibit the phosphorylation of HAS2 by PKC through the stimulation of O-GlcNAcylation; it also similarly ameliorates hypertriglyceridemia and hyperglycemia partly by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism and the antioxidant defense system along with increasing adiponectin levels. | |
| BCN2568 | Mevastatin |
| Mevastatin inhibits HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) which in turn inhibits isoprenoid biosynthesis and therefore blocks protein isoprenylation and reduces plasma cholesterol levels in humans. Mevastatin inhibits the differentiation of TAO derived orbital preadipocytes by blocking PPAR-gamma mRNA expression. Mevastatin induces cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in SACC cells, it triggers the phosphorylation of the EGFR and inhibits the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway. | |
| BCN2575 | Centaureidin |
| 1. Centaureidin augments IFN-gamma promoter activity by approximately four-fold. 2. Centaureidin inhibits dendrite outgrowth from melanocytes by activating Rho, resulting in the inhibition of melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes. 3. Centaureidin shows potential vasorelaxant activity. | |
| BCN2576 | Aloin B |
| Dietary supplementation of aloe components (aloin, aloesin and aloe-gel) can ameliorate intestinal inflammatory responses in a 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis rat model, in particular, aloesin is the most potent inhibitor. The extract of A. vera and its active ingredient aloin cause melanin aggregation leading to skin lightening via alpha adrenergic receptor stimulation. | |
| BCN2646 | Noroxyhydrastinine |
| Noroxyhydrastinine exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities, it inhibits melanogenesis, at least in part, by inhibiting the expression of protein levels of tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2 in α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells. | |
