Products with Antifertility bioactivity
| Cat.No. | Product Name |

| BCN1177 | Isocupressic acid |
| 1. Isocupressic acid induces abortion in pregnant cows when ingested primarily during the last trimester. 2. Isocupressic acid shows strong inhibitory effect on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) induction (100 % inhibition at 1000 mol ratio/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). 3. Isocupressic acid decrease affects the angiogenesis of the female reproductive system, the decrease in blood flow and apoptosis of corpus luteum-derived endothelial cells of the uterine tissue results in abortion. | |
| BCN2203 | Corticosterone |
| Corticosterone, the major stress hormone, is an adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid, it is cytotoxic toward neurons, and the cytotoxic effect could be protected by Yokukansan. A delayed effect of elevated Corticosterone on breeding success rather than an immediate suppression of prolactin concentrations causing premature failure. | |
| BCN2282 | Demethylzeylasteral |
| Demethylzeylasteral exhibits strong inhibition towards UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A6 and 2B7, and the inhibition kinetic parameters (Ki) are calculated to be 0.6 uM and 17.3 uM for UGT1A6 and UGT2B7, respectively. Demethylzeylasteral has antimicrobial, strong immunosuppressive, and antifertility activities; it concentration-dependently and in a partially reversible manner can inhibit the Ca(2+) current in spermatogenic cells with an IC(50) of 8.8 microg/ml, and it also can inhibit significantly the sperm acrosome reaction initiated by progesterone. | |
| BCN2586 | Plumbagin |
| Plumbagin, a potential natural FOXM1 inhibitor, has anticancer, and anti-fibrotic activies, it inactivates the NF-κB/TLR-4 pathway that is associated with inflammatory reactions, thereby mitigating liver fibrosis. Plumbagin offers significant protective role against DEX-induced cellular damage via regulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and osteogenic markers. | |
