Products with Neuroprotection bioactivity
| Cat.No. | Product Name |
|---|---|
| BCN2202 | Dehydroepiandrosterone |
| Dehydroepiandrosterone is an important endogenous steroid hormone, which is an androgen receptor antagonist and an estrogen receptor agonist. Dehydroepiandrosterone can treat symptoms, and signs of vulvovaginal atrophy along with libido in postmenopausal women. Dehydroepiandrosterone is a neuroactive hormone, it in co-operation with other hormones and transmitters significantly affects some aspects of human mood, and modifies some features of human emotions and behavior; it has been reported that its administration can increase feelings of well-being and is useful in ameliorating atypical depressive disorders, it has neuroprotective and antiglucocorticoid activity and modifies immune reactions. | |
| BCN2205 | D-Mannitol |
| D-Mannitol, a specific hydroxyl free radical scavenger, can reduce the developmental toxicity of hydroxyurea in rabbits; it has thermal properties and could be as a Phase Change Material (PCM) for latent heat storage system; it is a potential diagnostic marker for aspergillosis. D-mannitol has neuroprotectant effect in reducing the sensory neurological disturbances seen in ciguatera poisoning, it does not act purely as an osmotic agent to reduce swelling of nerves, but involves a more complex action dependent on the Na(v) channel subtype, possibly to alter or reduce toxin association. | |
| BCN2206 | Norepinephrine |
| Norepinephrine is a peripheral vasoconstrictor by acting on alpha-adrenergic receptors, it can up-regulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor cells. Norepinephrine can stimulates apoptosis in adult rat ventricular myocytes by activation of the β-adrenergic pathway. Noradrenergic system may play a significant role in modulating the development of ischemic neuronal damage. | |
| BCN2228 | Kynurenic acid |
| Kynurenic acid, a natural metabolite of tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway, is a broad-spectrum excitatory amino acid antagonist; It proved to be an antagonist at NMDA, kainate and AMPA receptors.Kynurenic acid is the endogenous α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, it has an immunomodulating effect, it can modulate amyloid-β-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells. | |
| BCN2248 | Astaxanthin |
| Astaxanthin is a strong antioxidant which shows neuroprotective property and can reduce the markers of inflammation, it can reduce matrix metalloproteinase expression in human chondrocytes, it may be beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.Astaxanthin has protective effect on fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and suggests that oxidative stress and TLR4 signaling associated inflammatory reaction are involved in this process. Astaxanthin administration can reduce renal calcium oxalate crystal deposition possibly by modulating the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which reduces the expression of OPN and TGF-β1 levels. | |
