| BCN1088 | Saikosaponin D |
| Saikosaponin D, a calcium mobilizing agent (SERCA inhibitor), is also an agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR),which has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. Saikosaponin D protects against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by inhibiting NF-κB and STAT3 signaling; it shows inhibitory effects on NF-κB activation and thereby on iNOS, COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines. | |
| BCN1103 | Oxymatrine |
| 1. Oxysophoridine has a protective effect on focal cerebral ischemic injury through antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. 2. Oxysophoridine ameliorates cardiac damage in a rat model of AMI and that this cardioprotection may be linked with its anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. 3. Oxysophoridine may be a potential neuroprotective agent for cerebral ischemia injury, that the effect may be due to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and expression of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1.4.Oxymatrine has exhibited anti-hepatitis virus infection, anti-hepatic fibrosis, anti-inflammation, anti-anaphylaxis and other immune-regulation, it induces human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells apoptosis via regulating expression of Bcl-2 and IAP families, and releasing of cytochrome C. It can attenuate diabetes-associated cognitive deficits in rats, which is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptotic cascades, it is proven to protect ischemic and reperfusion injury in liver, intestine and heart. | |
| BCN1136 | Myricitrin |
| Myricitrin exhibits hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory,antioxidant, anti-allergic, antinociception, anxiolytic-like, and antipsychotic-like effects. Myricitrin can be used as a drug candidate for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, by effectively protecting cells from ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell apoptosis and reducing atherosclerotic plaque formation. Myricitrin is also a nitric oxide (NO) and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor that has central nervous system activity. | |
| BCN2353 | Glaucocalyxin A |
| Glaucocalyxin A could potentially be developed as an antiplatelet and antithrombotic agent, can inhibit platelet p-selectin secretion and integrin activation by convulxin, is a GPVI selective ligand. Glaucocalyxin A has regulation of microglia activity, can attenuate lipopolysaccharide -stimulated neuroinflammation through NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.Glaucocalyxin A may become a potential anti-fibrotic agent in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) management, it can effectively ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis through the antagonism of leukocyte infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine production. | |
| BCN2533 | Monomethyl lithospermate B |
| 1. Magnesium lithospermate B can protecte cardiomyocytes from ischemic injury through specific inhibition of TAB1-p38 apoptosis signaling. 2. Magnesium lithospermate B is an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation and scavenge superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals both in vitro and ex vivo. 3. Magnesium lithospermate B can ameliorate cisplatin-induced injury in cultured renal epithelial cells. 4. Magnesium lithospermate B is a naturally occurring, new generation antioxidant that activates eNOS and ameliorates endothelial dysfunction in diabetes by enhancing vasodilation in addition to reducing oxidative stress.[ 5. Magnesium lithospermate B possesses inhibitory activity on Na+,K+-ATPase, it provides anti-ischemic neuroprotection in gerbilssubjected to focal ischemia and reperfusion. 6. Magnesium lithospermate B has protective effects against diabetic atherosclerosis via Nrf2-ARE-NQO1 transcriptional pathway.[6] 7. Magnesium lithospermate B has potent antifibrotic effect in intraperitoneal thioacetamide (TAA)-treated cirrhotic rats, and inhibits fibrogenic responses in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). 8. Magnesium lithospermate B has depressor action on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats. 9. Magnesium lithospermate B may stimulate the synthesis of kallikrein and/or conversion to active kallikrein, thus improving renal function. 10.Magnesium lithospermate B has anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects on skin. | |
