Products with Photosensitizer bioactivity
| Cat.No. | Product Name |
|---|---|
| BCN5037 | 4-Methoxycinnamic acid |
| 4-Methoxycinnamic acid is a photosensitive compound, it shows various pharmacologic actions such as anti-cancer, hepatoprotective and antihyperglycemic activities, it also can stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells by increasing Ca2+ influx via the L-type Ca2+ channels, but not through the closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid can strongly inhibit the diphenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase, with the IC 50 value of 0.42 mM, and the inhibition is reversible. | |
| BCN5038 | 2-Methoxycinnamic acid |
| 2-Methoxycinnamic acid is a photosensitive compound. 2-Methoxycinnamic acid can enhance inhibition of tyrosinase activity. | |
| BCN5914 | Palmatine hydrochloride |
| Palmatine hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt of palmatine which is a protoberberine alkaloid, it can induce remarkable cell apoptosis, has potential in photodynamic therapy on colon adenocarcinoma. Palmatine hydrochloride has anti-C. albicans effect, it mixes with berberine hydrochloride elicit antifungal activities, it also can reduce blood sugar and oxidative stress in STZ induced diabetic rats. | |
| BCN5977 | Hypericin |
| Hypericin is a photosensitive antiviral with anticancer and antidepressant agent . It can inhibit tyrosine kinases with IC50 of 7.5 μM. It can induce both apoptosis and necrosis in a concentration and light dose-dependent fashion, and inhibit RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis via affecting ERK signalling in vitro and suppresses wear particle-induced osteolysis in vivo. | |
| BCN6348 | Pseudohypericin |
| Pseudohypericin has photocytotoxic, and antiretroviral activities, it has potential therapeutic value in diseases such as AIDS. Pseudohypericin can inhibit LPS-stimulated PGE2 and NO in mouse macrophages by potentiating suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression, it has anti-tumor potential. | |
